(x - 3) is a factor of f(x) = x4 - 3x3 - 8x + 24. TRUE or FALSE?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUE.
It is TRUE because x=3 is the root of the polynomial f(x): f(3) = 0. (Check it !).

A rectangular fish tank with a square bottom whose height is half the length of its side contains 4000 cubic inches
of water. What is the height of the fish tank?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the height of the fish tank.
Then its length is L = 2x and its width is W = 2x inches too, according to the condition.
(I assume that the tank is full, although you didn't mention it).
Hence, the water volume is V = L*W*H = (2x)*(2x)*x = , and you have an equation
