What values of x make sense in this problem solution? What is the domain? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The value of certainly has to be larger than zero, otherwise you have no box, right?. Then how big could it be so that cutting by out of all four corners would not use up all of the 25 inch side? That's the least upper bound for your dimension.
