The volume of a rectangular box is found by multiplying its length, width, and height: V = lwh. A certain box has a volume of b3

+ 3b2 - 4b - 12. Factor the four-term polynomial to find the dimensions of the box. Hint: Use factoring by grouping to factor the four term polynomial first.

Answer:

  length, width, and height are (b+2), (b-2), (b+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Doing what the problem statement tells you to do, you get ...

  (b^3 +3b^2) -(4b +12)

  = b^2(b +3) -4(b +3) . . . . . factor each pair of terms

  = (b^2 -4)(b +3) . . . . . . . . . write as a product

  = (b -2)(b +2)(b +3) . . . . . . use the factoring of the difference of squares

The three factors are (b-2), (b+2), and (b+3). We have no clue as to how to associate those with length, width, and height. We just know these are the dimensions of the box.

Please help me with this problem. I have tried many times and have gotten it wrong. I need help especially on the last part. Can
Arlecino [84]

1) The domain is all the possible x values in the function so it would be [-4,4]

2) There are only 3 zeros shown on the graph and they are (-2, 0) (0, 0) (2, 0) the zeros are the value of x when y = 0.

3)The function is positive/Negative is asking for what x values make the y values positive aka interval notation. The function is positive if x = (0, 2) because 0 and 2 aren't included you use parentheses () instead of brackets []  

The function is negative if x [-4, -2), (-2,0), (2,4]

How to state gradient and y-intercept
n200080 [17]

In summary. The graph of each equation is a straight line, m is the gradient of the line and c is the y-intercept. Conversely, if a straight line has gradient m and y-intercept c it has equation y = mx + c.
