The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the expression 2x^4+2x^3-4x^2-4x. Write the volume as the product its dimensions. Remember, V = lwh.

Respuesta :

Answer:  2x(x^2-2)(x+1)

=========================================================

Explanation:

First factor out the GCF 2x

2x^4+2x^3-4x^2-4x

2x*x^3+2x*x^2-2x*2x-2x*2

2x(x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 2)

Then let's factor the expression inside the parenthesis using the factor by grouping method

x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 2

(x^3 + x^2) + (- 2x - 2)

x^2(x + 1) - 2(x + 1)

(x^2 - 2)(x+1)

We see that x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 2 factors to (x^2-2)(x+1)

Overall, the original expression fully factors to 2x(x^2-2)(x+1)

length = 2x

width = x^2-2

height = x+1

The order of length, width, and height doesn't matter.

The  volume as the product its dimensions 2x*( x²-2)*(x+1).

What is Volume?

Volume is a mathematical quantity that shows the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by an object or a closed surface.

Given:

volume of a rectangular prism is given by the expression 2x^4+2x³-4x²-4x

=2x*x^3+2x*x^2-2x*2x-2x*2

=2x(x³ + x² - 2x - 2)

Now, we get the factor 2x(x³ + x² - 2x - 2).

Keeping aside 2x we will now focus on (x³ + x² - 2x - 2)

We already get the one factor 2x and now using (x³ + x² - 2x - 2) to get the other two factors.

Now solving x³ + x² - 2x - 2

=(x³ +  x²) + (- 2x - 2)

= x²(x + 1) - 2(x + 1)

=( x² - 2)(x+1)

Now we get the two factors  ( x² - 2)(x+1).

The expression  for  volume as the product its dimensions is 2x*( x²-2)*(x+1)

Hence,   volume as the product its dimensions is 2x*( x²-2)*(x+1).
