The volume of the rectungular prism is .
Height of the tunnel is feet more than
of its width, hence height
.
Length of the tunnel is feet more than
times of its width,
.
Subustiute these values into the equation for volume of the tunnel .
The volume of the tunnel is cubic feet.
Subustiute in the equation
and solve for
.
The obtained polynomial equation is .
The above polynomial has sign variation. so , it has
positive real zero.
Graph :
Draw the coordinate plane.
Graph the function .
Observe the graph:
The function touches the
axis at
.
Synthetic Division:
The function is .
Perform the synthetic division method by testing .
must be a positive value because ,the above polynomial has
sign variation. so , it has
posotive real zero.
Since only has
positive real zero.Width of the tunnel is
feet.
Therwfore width of the tunnel , feet.
Height of the tunnel, .
Length of the tunnel is .
Width of the tunnel is feet.
Height of the tunnel is feet.
Length of the tunnel is feet.
