13. You have a rectangular piece of steel whose dimensions are 20 inches by 16 inches.
You are required to cut out the four corners of the rectangle so that you may fold up
the sides to create a box. Write the function you will use to find the volume of the box
if x represents the length of the cuts.
A. f(x) = x3 + 8x2 + 80x C. f(x) = x3 – 8x2 + 80x
B. f(x) = x3 + 8x2 + 160x D. f(x) = x3 – 8x2 + 160x
14. The length of a rectangle is 8 meters more than the width. If both the width and length
get doubled, the area would be 192 square meters. Write the polynomial function of
the area of the original rectangle.
A. f(x) = w2 + 8w – 48 C. f(x) = w2 + 8w – 192
B. f(x) = w – 8w + 48
2 D. f(x) = w2 – 8w + 192
15. A polynomial of degree 4 has a positive leading coefficient and simple zeros (i.e. zeros
of multiplicity 1) at x = 2, x = - 2, x = 1 and x = -1. Is the y intercept of the graph of
this polynomial positive or negative?
A. All polynomials with degree 4 and positive leading coefficient will have a graph that
rises to the left and to the right. And since the polynomial has two negative zeros
and two positive zeros, then the only possibility for the y intercept is to be positive.
B. All polynomials with degree 4 and positive leading coefficient will have a graph that
rises to the left and to the right. And since the polynomial has two negative zeros
and two positive zeros, then the only possibility for the y intercept is to be negative.
C. All polynomials with degree 4 and positive leading coefficient will have a graph that
falls to the left and to the right. And since the polynomial has two negative zeros
and two positive zeros, then the only possibility for the y intercept is to be positive.
D. All polynomials with degree 4 and positive leading coefficient will have a graph that
falls to the left and to the right. And since the polynomial has two negative zeros
and two positive zeros, then the only possibility for the y intercept is to be negative.
