Answer:
= -5[tex]x^{4}[/tex] - 1/5
0r
-5[tex]x^{4}[/tex] - 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a rectangular prism = area of base x height
-5[tex]x^{5}[/tex] - 1 = 5x + 5 x area of the base
to determine the area of the base, divide both sides of the equation by (5x + 5)
area of the base = (-5[tex]x^{5}[/tex] - 1) / (5x + 5)
= -5[tex]x^{4}[/tex] - 1/5
0r
-5[tex]x^{4}[/tex] - 0.2
