Write the polynomial function that models the given situation. A rectangle has a length of 16 units and a width of 14 units. Squares of x by x units are cut out of each corner, and then the sides are folded up to create an open box. Express the volume V of the box as a polynomial function in terms of x.

Answer:

[tex]4x^3-60x^2+224 x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of rectangle=16 units

Width of rectangle=14 units

We have to write a polynomial function for volume of the box when a square of side x cut from each corner of given box.

Length of new box=16-2x units

Width of new box= 14-2x units

Height of new box=x units

Volume of box=[tex]L\times B\times H[/tex]

Substitute the values then we get

Volume of new box=[tex](16-2x)(14-2x)x[/tex]

Volume of new box=[tex]4x^3-60x^2+224 x[/tex]

Hence, the volume of the box as a polynomial function is given by

[tex]4x^3-60x^2+224 x[/tex]
