Question 81296: Problem
Volume. The length, width, and height of a box are x, 2x, and 3x - 5 inches, respectively. Write a polynomial V(x) that represents its volume. Find V(3).
This is what I have.
V(x) = x^2(x + 2)(3x - 5)
When you put V(3) into the equation the volume= 180
I would appreciate any help with this question. Thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volume. The length, width, and height of a box are x, 2x, and 3x - 5 inches, respectively. Write a polynomial V(x) that represents its volume. Find V(3).
This is what I have.
V(x) = x^2(2x)(3x - 5)
----------
Then V(3) = 3^2(2*3)(3*5-5) = 9*6*10 = 540 in^3
