9. A shipping company’s research department determined that the cost of shipping rectangular
boxes is represented by (7x 2 +3x - 2) dollars, where x is the height of the box in dm. The
company decides to charge its customers one dollar per dm 3 of volume. If a box must have a
length and a width that are 3dm and 1dm more respectively than the height , what box heights
will result in the company making a profit?
A7
10. Given that f(x) = 2x 3 - 3x 2 - x + 6 , for what value(s) of m will f(x) ÷ (x - m) yield a remainder
of 3m? Hint: there are no integral solutions
A6

11. a) Describe clearly the connection that the Factor Theorem has with our previous work on
graphing polynomial functions?
Comm 1

b) You’ve been trying to develop what’s needed to sketch the graph of


y = 6x 4 - 13x 3 - 6x 2 + 13x + 6
and so far you managed to establish that it can be written as
y = (x - 2)(2x + 1)(3x 2 - 2x - 3)

Describe clearly what other steps you would take before starting the sketch. Do not
actually do any of the steps, just describe what those steps would be, allowing for
different possible scenarios that might arise.
