Question 561071: a computer manufacturer needs to change the dimensions of its foam packaging for a new model of computer. the width of the original piece is three times the height, and he length is equal to the height squared. The volume of the new piece can be represented by the equation V(h) = 3h^4 +11h^3 +18h^2 +44h + 24
where h is height of the original piece.
Factor the equation for the volume of the new piece to determine three equations that represent the height, length, and width of the new piece.

Factor.

3h^4 +11h^3 +18h^2 +44h + 24
= (3h + 2)(h + 3)(h^2 + 4)

width = 3h + 2
length = h + 3
height = h^2 + 4

The three expressions are interchangeable.
