Question

If the volume of the cylinder is represented by 5x2 + 15x + 2 and the height is 5x, which expression represents the area of the base?

Answer 1

Given:
V = 5x² + 15x + 2, the volume
h = 5x, the height

Let A = the area of the base.
Because V = Ah, therefore
A*(5x) = 5x² + 15x + 2

`A = (5x^(2)+15x+2)/(5x)`

Answer:

`A=x+3+ (2)/(5x)`
