A fish tank has a base, B, with an area, in square inches, modeled by B(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 4. The height, H, in inches, is modeled by H(x) = x + 3. Find the equation that models the fish tank’s volume, V, in cubic inches.

A. V(x) = 2x^2 + 7x + 7

B. V(x) = 2x^2 + 5x + 1

C. V(x) = 2x^3 + 12x^2 + 22x + 12

D. V(x) = 2x^3 + 8x^2 + 10x + 4

Answer:

C. V(x) = 2x^3 + 12x^2 + 22x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a fish tank is the multiplication of the area of the base by the height.

In this question:

Area of the base: [tex]B(x) = 2x^{2} + 6x + 4[/tex]

Height: [tex]H(x) = x + 3[/tex]

Volume:

[tex]V(x) = B(X)*H(x) = (2x^{2} + 6x + 4)(x + 3) = 2x^{3} + 6x^{2} + 4x + 6x^{2} + 18x + 12 = 2x^{3} + 12x^{2} + 22x + 12[/tex]

So the correct answer is:

C. V(x) = 2x^3 + 12x^2 + 22x + 12
