Question 992485: An open box is made from a square piece of cardboard 46 inches on a side by cutting identical squares from the corners and turning up the sides.
Express the volume of the box, V, as a function of the length of the side of the square cut from each corner, x.
Find the domain of V.

Try this with ALL variables for values. Maybe like s=46, but keep in the variable, s.

; the base became (s-2x)*(s-2x), and the height is simply, x.

Show your finished function either "simplified" or in condensed factored form:

Make the substitution for s=46 if you really want or need it, and then simplify again.
