A rectangular box is twice as long as it is wide. The height of the box is 3 feet less than the width. If the box is x feet wide, what polynomial represents its volume in cubic feet?

Question

anonymous · Answer

width = x
length = twice of width = 2x
height = 3 less than width = x-3

now use the fact that volume = length*width*height

what do you get ????

4x - 3? I'm not sure on how to do this i'm horrible with math...

anonymous · Answer

vol = (x)*(2x)*(x-3)
vol = (2x^2)*(x-3)
vol = 2x^3 - 6x^2
