a) express the volume of box as function of x.
b) use the function from part a) to determine value(s) of x, to 2 decimal places, that will result in a volume greater than 3024 cm cubed.
c) determine the dimensions of box for volume given in part b)
myy work so far:
a) let x be the sides being cut off from corners , therefore
p(x) = x(52-2x)(36-2x)
now i dont dont know how to do inequalities part b).. O__0
I get your point now. Let me think about it for a second.
