Relate: Volume = depth • length • width Define: Let x = depth. Then x + 10 = length, and 50 – (depth + length) = width. Write: V(x) = x ( x + 10 )( 50 – (x + x + 10) ) = x (x + 10)(40 – 2x) The x-intercepts of the function are x = 0, x = –10, x = 20. These values of x produce a volume of zero.

Assume that the sum of the length, width, and depth is 50 in. and the length is 10 in. greater than the depth. Graph the function relating the volume v to depth x. Find the x-intercepts. What do they represent? Graph the function for volume. 6-2
Polynomials and Linear Factors ALGEBRA 2 LESSON 6-2 (continued) b. Describe a realistic domain for V(x). The function has values over the set of all real numbers x. Since x represents the depth of the luggage, x > 0. Since the volume must be positive, x < 20. A realistic domain is 0 < x < 20. c. What is the maximum possible volume of the box? What are the corresponding dimensions of the box? Look for the greatest value of y that occurs within the domain 0 < x < 20. Use the Maximum feature of a graphing calculator to find the maximum volume. A volume of approximately 4225 in.3 occurs for a depth of about 12.2 in. Then the length is about 22.2 in. and the width is about 15.6 in. Quick Check 6-2
Polynomials and Linear Factors ALGEBRA 2 LESSON 6-2 Find the zeros of y = (x + 1)(x – 1)(x + 3). Then graph the function using a graphing calculator. Using the Zero Product Property, find a zero for each linear factor. x + 1 = 0 or x – 1 = 0 or x + 3 = 0 x = –1 x = 1 x = –3 The zeros of the function are –1, 1, –3. Now sketch and label the function. Quick Check 6-2

Polynomials and Linear Factors ALGEBRA 2 LESSON 6-2 Find any multiple zeros of ƒ(x) = x5 – 6x4 + 9x3 and state the multiplicity. ƒ(x) = x5 – 6x4 + 9x3 ƒ(x) = x3(x2 – 6x + 9) Factor out the GCF, x3. ƒ(x) = x3(x – 3)(x – 3) Factor x2 – 6x + 9. Since you can rewrite x3 as (x – 0)(x – 0)(x – 0), or (x – 0)3, the number 0 is a multiple zero of the function, with multiplicity 3. Since you can rewrite (x – 3)(x – 3) as (x – 3)2, the number 3 is a multiple zero of the function with multiplicity 2. Quick Check 6-2
