Did I do this right?
A treasure chest has a volume of x^3 + 9x^2 + 26x + 24 cm^3 and the height is x + 4 cm. Find the polynomial that would represent the area of the bottom of the treasure chest? Explain your reasoning.
My steps: (x^3+9x^2+26x+24)/(x+4)
x^2+5x+6
The polynomial that would represent the area of the bottom of the chest is (x+3)(x+2), because I factored the expression.

Will give a medal if anyone wants one lol

anonymous · Answer

I searched it and this is what I saw:  
the area of the bottom is

A = (x^3 + 9x^2 + 26x + 24)/(x + 4)

A = 6 + 5x + x^2
