\n" ); document.write( "3. The volume 1008 is length * width * height:

\n" ); document.write( "\"1008=%28x%29%28x%29%28x%2B5%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: B

\n" ); document.write( "4.

\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3%2B5x%5E2=1008\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3%2B5x%5E2-1008=0\"

\n" ); document.write( "The equation does not factor. Solve for x using some numerical method like Newton's method, or using a graphing calculator.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: to 3 decimal places, the height x+5 is 8.607+5 = 13.607

\n" ); document.write( "5.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWERS:
\n" ); document.write( "height 13.607
\n" ); document.write( "length and width 8.607

\n" ); document.write( "CHECK: (8.607)(8.607)(13.607) = 1800 (rounded)

\n" ); document.write( "
