Question

If the area of a rectangular prism is represented by the volume -5x^5 - 1 and the height is 5x + 5, what is the area of the base in terms of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

= -5$x^{4}$ - 1/5

0r

-5$x^{4}$ - 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism = area of base x height

-5$x^{5}$ - 1 = 5x + 5 x area of the base

to determine the area of the base, divide both sides of the equation by (5x + 5)

area of the base =  (-5$x^{5}$ - 1)  / (5x + 5)

= -5$x^{4}$ - 1/5

-5$x^{4}$ - 0.2
