Problema Solution
The volume of a prism is the product of its height and area of its base, V = Bh. A rectangular prism has a volume of 16y4 + 16y3 + 48y2 cubic units. Which could be the base area and height of the prism?
Answer provided by our tutors
Since 16y^4 + 16y^3 + 48y^2 = 16y^2(y^2 + y + 3)
click here to see the factorization of the above expression
Bh = 16y^2(y^2 + y + 3)
The base could be B = 16y^2 while the height h = y^2 + y + 3.
