Andy is designing a dice tray in the shape of a rectangular prism to use during a role-playing game. The tray needs to be three centimeters high and have a volume of 252 cubic centimeters in order for the dice to roll properly. The length of the tray should be five centimeters longer than its width. The volume of a rectangular prism is found using the formula V = l · w · h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. Complete the equation that models the volume of the tray in terms of its width, x, in centimeters.

Complete the equation that models the volume of the tray in terms of its width, x, in centimeters.

3x2 + 15x = 252

Is it possible for the width of the tray to be 7.5 centimeters?

no it is too large

Step-by-step explanation:

cosine

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)
