Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is 2x+ 9x-8x-36 with height x+2. Using synthetic division, what is the area of the base ?

Answer 1

Answer:

3(x-12)/(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = area *height

2x+ 9x-8x-36 = area * (x+2)

area = (2x+ 9x-8x-36)/(x+2)

=(3x-36)/(x+2)

=3(x-12)/(x+2)

Answer 2

Answer:

2x^2+5x-18
