Solving Problems Involving Polynomial Function

DIRECTION: Solve the following problems with complete solution. Use another
sheet of paper to show your solutions to each problem.

For Item number 1 – 4, refer to the problem below.

A construction company was hired to build a swimming pool for public use. The
client wants the depth of the pool to be 2 meters less than the width and the length
is 10 meters more than the width. The client also specified that the pool must have a
water capacity of 595 cubic meters.

1. If w represents the measurement of the width, write the mathematical model or

equation that satisfy the condition of the above problem?

2. How deep is the pool?

3. How long is the pool?

4. What are the dimensions of the swimming pool? (Follow V = LWH)

5. The number of cable TV systems sold after year 2010 can be modeled by the
polynomial function C(t) = -43.2t2 + 1343t + 790, where t represents the number of
years since 2010.How many cable TV systems sold after the end of 2015?

6. A rectangular box has a width of w centimeters. The height is 2 centimeters less

than the width. The length is 4 centimeters more than twice the width. If the
volume of the box is 8 times the measure of the length. What are the dimensions
of the box?

7. For this school year, 50 high school students participated in one-week Human vs
Zombie game. The number of zombies, Z, after d days of playing can be modeled
by the function Z(d) = 5d 3 – 3d2 + 15. How many days did it take for the number of
zombies to reach 565?

8. Faye is going to throw a rock from the top of a trail overlooking the ocean. When
she throws the rock upward from 160 ft above the ocean, the function h(t) = -16t 2
+ 48t + 160 models the height, h, of the rock above the ocean as a function of
time, t. Find the height of the rock at t = 1.5 seconds.

9. The estimated number of electric vehicles, V (in thousands), in the Philippines

can be modeled by the polynomial function:
V(y) = 0.15128y3 – 3.28234y2 + 23.7565y – 2.041 where y represents the number of
years after the year 2005. Find the estimated number of electric vehicles at the end
of the year 2007. Round up to the nearest thousands.

10. The weight, w (in kilograms), of a certain fish can be modeled by w =

0.00304x3, where x is the length of the fish in inches. What is the weight of a 12-
inch fish?
