Prism is a polyhedron that has two parallel polygonal faces. The area of the base can be written as (x-2)(2x+9).

<h3>What is the prism?</h3>

A prism is a polyhedron that has two polygonal faces lying in parallel planes while the other faces are parallelograms.

As it is given that the volume of the prism is 2x³ + 9x² -8x -36 while its height is x+2, therefore, in order to calculate the area of the base we need to divide the polynomial with the height of the prism.

As we need to divide the polynomial 2x³ + 9x² -8x -36 with x+2, therefore, Using the synthetic division the polynomial is divided as shown below.

The polynomial can be factorized as,

2x^3+9x^2-8x-36\\\\x^2(2x+9)-4(2x+9)\\\\(x^2-4)(2x+9)\\\\(x+2)(x-2)(2x+9)

Thus, the division of the polynomial can be written as,

\dfrac{2x^3+9x^2-8x-36}{x+2} = \dfrac{(x+2)(x-2)(2x+9)}{(x+2)}=(x-2)(2x+9)

Hence, the area of the base can be written as (x-2)(2x+9).

Answer:

Descriptive Statistics

Step-by-step explanation:

There are mainly two types of Statistics:

1) Descriptive Statistics

Descriptive statistics provide simple summaries about the sample and the measures. When using descriptive statistics you are simply describing what the data shows.

2) Inferential Statistics

On the other hand, inferential statistics try to reach conclusions that extend beyond the immediate data alone.

In this case the decision made was based on the "90% of the taste testers preferred", and no more than that.

A gardener has 640 feet of fencing to fence in a rectangular garden. One side of the garden is bordered by a river and so it doe
kari74 [83]

Answer:

  • 160 ft (out from the river)
  • 320 ft (parallel to the river)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the river. Then the dimension of perpendicular to the river will be half the remaining fence: (640-x)/2. The total area will be ...

  A = x(640-x)/2

This is the equation of a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at x=0 and x=640, so its axis of symmetry is x = (0+640)/2 = 320. That is, the peak of the area curve is found when x=320.

The dimensions of the garden with the largest area are 160 ft wide by 320 ft long, where the long side is the river side.
