Question 32

An engineer determines that the volume V(t)V(t)V(t) of a specialized industrial component is modeled by the polynomial:

V(t)=125t3+150t2+55t+6 V(t) = 125t^3 + 150t^2 + 55t + 6 V(t)=125t3+150t2+55t+6

where t t\,t is a dimension-scaling factor.

a.

Use the factor theorem to prove that (5t+1)(5t + 1)(5t+1) is a factor of V(t)V(t)V(t).

[2]
b.

Factorise V(t)V(t)V(t) completely.

c.

Hence, prove that 375m3+450m2+165m+18375m^3 + 450m^2 + 165m + 18375m3+450m2+165m+18 is a multiple of 18 when m m\,m is a positive whole number.
