Question 87756: The volume of the box is reprsented by (x^2+5x+6)(x+5), find the polnomial that reprsents the area of the bottom of the box.


Add and subtract as indicated express results in simplist form.
4x-7 * x^2+6x+8 / x^2+2x
------------------------------
x^2+3x-4 * 2x^2+5x-3 / x^2+2x-3

you have not given enough info in the question to say for certain, but the espression (x^2+5x+6)(x+5) is an area times a length so the quadratic part could be the area of the bottom.

However, conversely it could be the area of the front and the x+5 is the "width".
