Suppose the length of the card board was x cm by x cm
After squares of 4cm was cut from the corner, the dimension for the box will be:
length=(x-8) cm
width=(x-8) cm
height=4 cm
thus the volume will be:
V=length*width*height
V=4×(x-8)×(x-8)=144
x²-16x+64=36
this can be simplified to form a quadratic equation given by:
x²-16x+28=0
solving the quadratic equation we get:
x=2 or x=14
Thus we conclude that the original dimensions was:
length=14 cm ; width=14 cm
Weather I think I'm not sure
its actually 10 points
x^4 + 9x^3 + 15x^2 + 9x + 14
Split 15x^2 into 14x^2 + x^2
x^4 + 9x^3 + 14x^2 + x^2 + 9x + 14 factor as
x^2 [x^2 + 9x + 14 ] + 1 [ x^2 + 9x + 14 ] take out GCF
[ x^2 + 1 ] [ x^2 + 9x + 14 ]
[ x^2 + 1 ] [ x + 7 ] [ x + 2 ]
