if the squares are of side x, then
v = x(12-2x)^2 = 4x^3-48x^2+144x
dv/dx = 12x^2 - 96x + 144
= 12(x-2)(x-6)
so, v has a max at x=2. -

A piece of cardboard measuring 13 inches by 11 inches is formed into an open-top box by cutting squares with
side length x from each corner and folding up the sides.
a. Find a formula for the volume of the box in terms of x
b. Find the value for x that will maximize the volume of the box. Round to 2 decimal places if needed. -

v=(13-2x)(11-2x).x
dV/dx= 3x^2-96x+143
use Q formula x= (-b +or - (b^2-4ac)^1/2)/2a
ans x=2.26 -
