The dimensions for a rectangular prism are x + 2 for the length, x + 3 for the width, and x for the height. What the volume of the prism expressed as a polynomial in standard form?

Question

The dimensions for a rectangular prism are       x    +    2   for the length,       x    +    3   for the width, and       x   for the height. What the volume of the prism expressed as a polynomial in standard form?

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula       V    =    l    w    h   where       V   is the volume,       l   is the length,       w   is the width, and       h   is the height.For this rectangular prism,       V    =          (      x      +      2      )              (      x      +      3      )              (      x      )      .  To put it in standard form it must be multiplied out.        V    =          (              x        2            +      5      x      +      6      )        x    =          x      3        +    5          x      2        +    6    x

We are aware of the rectangular prism&#039;s exact dimensions. We must determine its volume.                              volume                =        l        w        h            Whers,       l    ,    w                and              h   are length,width and heightSo,      →          (      x      +      2      )              (      x      +      3      )              (      x      )      Multiply              (      x      +      2      )                    and                    (      x      +      3      )       using the foil method      →    x          (              x        2            +      5      x      +      6      )                          →                  x          3                +        5                  x          2                +        6        x            It&#039;s already in the conventional format (in decreasing powers)
