Question

Box 1: Dimensions: x by 3x by x3 Area of base = x(3x) = 3x2 Box 2: Dimensions: x by 4x – 1 by x3 Area of base = x(4x – 1) = 4x2 – x Complete the statements about the number of terms in the polynomial representing the volume of each box. Box 1's volume will be a Box 2's volume will be a . Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Monomial

2. Binomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Box 1’s volume is modeled by a monomial times a monomial, so it will be a monomial.  Box 2’s volume is modeled by a monomial times a binomial, so it will be a binomial.

Answer 2

Answer:

box 1: monomial

box 2: binomial

Step-by-step explanation:

reasoning: Box 1’s volume is modeled by a monomial times a monomial, so it will be a monomial.

Box 2’s volume is modeled by a monomial times a binomial, so it will be a binomial.
