Isolate the variables on the left side as follows:
$$
x^4-16x^2-2x^2=-6-75 x^4-18x^2=-81
$$
If the equation factorable, then the $(f(1))$ or $(f(-1))$ should be equal zero as follows:
$$
f(1)=1-18=-17 f(-1)=1-18=-17

Use zero property to simplify as follows:
$$
18x^4-53x^3+52x^2-14x-8-3x^4+x^3-2x+8=0
$$
Rearrange the tiles to group like terms as follows:
$$
(18x^4-3x^4)+(-53x^3+x^3)+52x^2+(-14x-2x)+(-8+8)=0
$$
$$
15x^4-52x^3+52x^2-16x=0

$$
f(1)=15-52+52-16 f(1)=-1
$$
$$
f(2)=240-416+208-32 f(2)=0

Volume of new box can be represented by the following expression:
$$

Use distributive property as follows:

Divide the entire equation by $(12)$ as follows:

Use discriminant property for quadratic equation $left[x=dfrac{-bpmsqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}right]$ as follows:
$$

$$

text{color{#4257b2}(a) Explain why you can predict the number of computer solid by usig this modelled in year $(1993)$m but cant be allowable in year $(2005)$?}

text{color{#4257b2}(c) In what year did home compute sales reach to $(1.5)$ million.}
$$
Substitute the value of $(C(t)=1.5)$ million as follows:
$$
1,500,000=0.92[t^3+8t^2+40t+400]
$$
Divide both of sides by $(0.92)$ as follows:

$$
a=3 b=16 c=40

$$

$$
This modelled is not valid to predict which year the number of computer solid reached to $(1.5)$ million, because there are no real root for this equation at this value of $C(t)$.
That mean this value of computer solid may be reached before or after this period of years that expression is valid for it.

$$
$$
f(3)=2(3)^3+3(3)-1 f(3)=62
$$
$$
f(3.0001)=2(3.0001)^3+3(3.0001)-1 f(3.0001)=62.0057

text{color{#4257b2}(c) Why the answer is similar? Find the instantaneous rate at value of $x=3$}
$$
Because the difference between the points is very very small tat may be neglected.
The instantaneous rate of change at $(x=3)$
$text{color{#4257b2}Note that}$: the instantaneous rate of change is calculated at ${f}'(x)$, so we used the ${f}'(x)$ as follows:
$$
{f}'(x)=6x+3
$$
Instantaneous rate of change at $(x=3)$ is equal
$$
{f}'(3)=(6cdot3)+3 {t}'(3)=21
