Case Study
19. Modern packaging plays an important role in modern industry. There are more than 60,000 scientists
conducting research related in packing engineering. In the last few decades, packing materials and packaging
logistics have been rapidly Developed that bought new challenges to mathematic modelling and simulations.
For the box to satisfy certain requirements, its length must be 3m greater than the width and its height must be
2m less than the width.
a. If width is taken as x units, which of the following polynomials represent the volume of the box?
a) 𝑥 − 5𝑥 − 6 b) 𝑥 + 𝑥 − 6𝑥 c) 𝑥 + 6𝑥 − 6𝑥 d) 𝑥 + 𝑥 − 6
b. Which of the following polynomial represents the area of paper used to make the box
a) 𝑥 − 5𝑥 − 6 b) 6𝑥 + 4𝑥 − 12 c) 𝑥 + 6𝑥 − 6𝑥 d) 6𝑥 + 3𝑥 −4
c. Another similar box is to be made such that its area of the base is given by the polynomial p(y) having
sum of the zeroes as 7 and the product is 10.Then the length and the breadth of the box are
d. A third box has the area of the rectangular faces as q(z). If two zeroes of q(z) are 3 and -5, then q(z)is
a) 𝑧 − 8𝑧+15 b) 𝑧 − 2𝑧 -15 c) 𝑧 + 2𝑧+15 d) 𝑧 + 2𝑧 -15
20. The below picture are few natural examples of parabolic shape which is represented by a quadratic polynomial.
A parabolic arch is an arch in the shape of a parabola. In structures, their curve represents an efficient method
of load, and so can be found in bridges and in architecture in a variety of forms .

b. The graph of x2+1=0
i. Intersects x-axis at two distinct points.
ii. Touches x-axis at a point.
iii. Neither touches nor intersects x-axis.
iv. Either touches or intersects x- axis.
c. If the sum of the roots is –p and product of the roots is -1/p , then find the quadratic polynomial.
