Question

The volume of a rectangular box is represented by x3 + 3x2 + 2x. Find the possible dimensions of the box.

  1. x, x+1, x+2
  2. x+1, x+2, x+3
  3. x, x+2, x-1
  4. x+1, x+3, x+4

The correct answer is: x, x+1, x+2


    Take out x from x3 + 3x2 + 2x.
    x (x2 + 3x + 2)
    Factorise x2 + 3x + 2
    Factors of 2 are 2 & 1
    Sum of 2 + 1 = 3
    (x + 2) (x + 1)
    x3 + 3x2 + 2x = x (x + 1) (x + 2)
