Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the box = x³ +11x² + 20x – 32 I think the ' is a typo for ³
the width is x-1 and the height is x+8
Find an expression for the length
Vol = LWH solve L
Vol / (WH) = L so
L = (x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) / (x-1) (x+8)
so it would help to factor the numerator
(x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) I'm willing to bet (x-1) and (x+8) are factors
but I will plot the equation to find the three roots
(x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) = (x-1) (x+8) (x+4)
L = (x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) / (x-1) (x+8)
= (x-1) (x+8) (x+4) / (x-1) (x+8) the (x-1) and (x+8) cancel out leaving
L = (x + 4)
