Recall
A polynomial expression P(x) is an
expression of the form
anxn + an-1xn-1 + an-2xn-2 + …+ a1x + a0
where the non-negative integer n is
called the degree of the polynomial
and the coefficients a0, a1, …, an are
real numbers and an ≠ 0.
Recall
A polynomial equation is an equation
of the form
anxn + an-1xn-1 + an-2xn-2 + …+ a1x + a0 = 0
where the non-negative integer n is
called the degree of the polynomial
and the coefficients a0, a1, …, an are
real numbers and an ≠ 0.

5. Joy offers decorated sheet cakes for children’s birthday
parties and other special occasions. She wants the volume of a
small cake to be 252 cubic inches. The cake is in the shape of
rectangular solid. She wants the width of the cake to be five
