Question

(1/3)(3x^2+12x+9)(x+3) how do i solve this???????

Answer 1

there is no equals sign so this is not even an equation bro

Answer 2

im trying to find the volume of a rectangular pyramid... that whole expression equals v

Answer 3

so then do you have any input values for x?? as it sits (1/3)(3x^2+12x+9)(x+3)=V can only be solved it you input an x. maybe you just want to find the roots..... idk you need to be more specific

Answer 4

Find an expression for the volume of a rectangular pyramid whose base has an area of 3x^2 + 12x +9 square feet and whose height is x + 3 feet.

Answer 5

divide each term in the first expression by 3, because of the \(\frac{1}{3}\) out front,
should be easy enough because each term is divisible by \(3\)

Answer 6

when you are done, you have to multiply
\[(x^2+4x+3)(x+3)\] which requires 6 multiplications via the distributive property

Answer 7

this part is a pain, but not really that bad with some practice
first of all multiply everything in the first parentheses by \(x\) which really just means raising the power by 1
then multiply everything in the first expression by \(3\) and then combine like terms

Answer 8

once you get the answer post and someone will check
