You are going to cut out the corners of a 10-inch by 12-inch piece of cardboard and fold up the edges to make a topless box as shown below. Find all the valid different values for X that will provide you with a box with a volume of 16 cubic inches. NEED HELP DUE TOMORROW!-thanks

Answer:

This is a classical problem which has delighted calculus students down through the ages.

We first express the volume of the box as a function of x, the side of the square which is cut out of each corner.

The resulting box will have a base which is a square which all of whose sides will have length 12 - 2x. The height of the box will be x. Therefore, the volume will be

V = (12 - 2x)2x

= 144x - 48x2 + 4x3

Step-by-step explanation:
