An open box is made from a square piece of sheet metal 19 inches on a side by cutting identical squares from the corners and turning up the sides.
-----
dimensions are 19-2x , 19-2x, and x
---------------------------------------------
Express the volume of the box, V, as a function of the length of the side of the square cut from each corner, x.
---
V = (19-2x)^2*x
----
V = (361 - 78x + 4x^2)x
----
V = 4x^3-78x^2+361x
