The net of the solid with dimensions 2x and x + 1.5 consists of two rectangles. The surface area polynomial function is S(x) = 12x^2 + 14x, with S(2.5) = 110 square units. The volume polynomial function is V(x) = 2x^3 + 6x^2 + 4.5x. When x = 2.5, the hay bale weighs 880 pounds based on the volume and given weight density.
Part B: Drawing the Net of the Solid
The net of the solid, with length 2x and width x + 1.5, consists of two rectangles. The dimensions of each rectangle are 2x by x + 1.5.
Part C: Surface Area Polynomial Function S(x)
Surface area S(x) of the rectangular solid is given by the formula: S(x) = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh. Substituting the given dimensions, S(x) = 2(2x)(x + 1.5) + 2(2x)(2x) + 2(x + 1.5)(2x), which simplifies to 12x^2 + 14x.
Part D: Surface Area Calculation
Substitute x = 2.5 into S(x): S(2.5) = 12(2.5)^2 + 14(2.5) = 110.
Part E: Volume Polynomial Function V(x)
Volume V(x) of the rectangular solid is given by the formula: V(x) = lwh. Substituting the given dimensions, V(x) = 2x(x + 1.5)(x + 1.5), which simplifies to 2x^3 + 6x^2 + 4.5x.
Part F: Weight Calculation
To find the weight when x = 2.5, use the volume V(2.5) in conjunction with the given weight density: Weight = V(2.5) * Weight Density. Substitute x = 2.5 into V(x): V(2.5) = 2(2.5)^3 + 6(2.5)^2 + 4.5(2.5) = 80. Now, calculate the weight: Weight = 80 * 11 = 880.
