A manufacturing technician is calculating the cost-per-unit for a batch of precision parts. The total cost is represented by $(x^3 - 64)$ and the number of units produced is $(x - 4)$. What is the correct simplified expression (quotient) for the cost-per-unit?

An inventory analyst at a distribution center is using the polynomial expression $(x^3 - 64) \div (x - 4)$ to model the density of items stored in a cubic bin relative to its side length. Arrange the following steps of the polynomial long division in the correct order to find the simplified density formula.

An inventory analyst at a distribution center is simplifying a volume-to-dimension ratio represented by the expression $(x^3 - 64) \div (x - 4)$. True or False: To perform polynomial long division correctly, the analyst must rewrite the dividend as $x^3 + 0x^2 + 0x - 64$ to include placeholders for the missing degrees.

A quality assurance technician is simplifying an efficiency ratio for an industrial cooling system. The total efficiency factor is represented by $x^3 - 64$ and the number of cooling cycles is $x - 4$. To correctly document the process, match each component of the polynomial long division to its corresponding mathematical expression.

An inventory analyst at a distribution center is calculating the cross-sectional area of a storage bin. The total volume of the bin is represented by the expression $x^3 - 64$ cubic feet, and the height of the bin is represented by $x - 4$ feet. To find the area, the analyst divides the volume by the height: $(x^3 - 64) \div (x - 4)$. After correctly performing the division, the analyst obtains a simplified expression for the area in the form $x^2 + Bx + 16$. What is the numerical value of the m
