The volume of the shipping box needs to be 1,144 cubic inches. The equation that models the volume of the shipping box is 8(n +
2)(n + 4) = 1,144.
Answer the following questions about the equation modeling the volume of the shipping box.
Question 1
Solve the equation that models the volume of the shipping box, 8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1,144. If you get two solutions, are they both reasonable?

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1,144
FOIL
8(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 1144
Divide each side by 8
8/8(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 1144/8
(n^2 +2n+4n+8) = 143
Combine like terms
n^2 +6n+8 = 143
Subtract 143 from each side
n^2 +6n+8 -143= 0
Combine like terms
n^2 +6n -135 =0
Factor
What two terms multiply to -135 and add to 6
-9*15 =-135
-9+15 = 6
(n-9) (n+15) =0
Using the zero product property
n-9 =0 n+15=0
n = 9 n=-15
The length cannot be negative so n = -15 cannot be a solution
n =9
Answer:
n = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1,144
(n + 2)(n + 4) = 143
n² + 2n + 4n + 8 = 143
n² + 6n - 135 = 0
n² + 15n - 9n - 135 = 0
n(n + 15) - 9(n + 15) = 0
(n - 9)(n + 15) = 0
n = 9, -15
since n is a length, it can not be negative
Therefore the only solution is n = 9

x - 3x^2 = 5+ 2x - x^2
0=5+ 2x - x^2-x +3x^2
0=5+x+2x²

comparing above equation with ax²+bx +c we get
a=2
