the volume of a rectangular prism is given by 33x3+71x2+54x+24. the height of the prism is given by 3x+4. find an expression for the area of the base of the prism.

Respuesta :

The expression for the rectangular prism's base area is 11x² + 7x + 5.

Given;

The volume of rectangular prism = 33x³ + 43x² + 29x + 10

The height of the prism = 3x + 2

We know that, the area of the prism = length * breadth

where as, volume = length * breadth * height

So, area = volume / height

Using synthetic division, dividing volume by height, we get;

3x+2  ) 33x³ + 43x² + 29x + 10 ( 11x² + 7x + 5

            33x3 + 22x2

           ---------------------------------

                        21x² + 29x

                        21x² + 14x

          ----------------------------------

                                  15x + 10

                                   15x + 10

          ----------------------------------

                                       x

Quotient is 11x² + 7x + 5 which is equal to expression for the area of the base of the rectangular prism.
