Franklin used the polynomial expression x(x−3)(x+4) to model the volume of a rectangular prism. What is the length of the shortest side of this prism? A x B x−3 C x2−3x D x3+x2−12x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

The shortest side

The volume of a rectangular prism is:

By comparison, we have:

In ascending order, the sides are:

This is so because:

Irrespective of the value of x

x - 3 will be less than x

x + 4 will be more than x

Hence, the shortest length is:

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
