12. Example 3: Business Application
A standard Burly Box is p ft by 3p ft by 4p ft. A large Burly Box has 1.5 ft added to each dimension. Write a polynomial V(p) in standard form that can be used to find the volume of a large Burly Box.
The volume of a large Burly Box is the product of the area of the base and height. V(p) = A(p)  h(p)
The area of the base of the large Burly Box is the product of the length and width of the box. A(p) = l(p)  w(p)
The length, width, and height of the large Burly Box are greater than that of the standard Burly Box. l(p) = p + 1.5, w(p) = 3p + 1.5, h(p) = 4p + 1.5

14. Huddle
Mr. Silva manages a manufacturing plant. From 1990 through 2005 the number of units produced (in thousands) can be modeled by N(x) = 0.02x x + 3. The average cost per unit (in dollars) can be modeled by C(x) = –0.004x2 – 0.1x + 3. Write a polynomial T(x) that can be used to model the total costs.
Total cost is the product of the number of units and the cost per unit.
