volume, v = area of bottom multiplied by height of each side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=height of each side, from cutting out the corners.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "two sides are \"32-2x\", and other two sides are \"40-2x\" lengths.
\n" ); document.write( "They make the bottom area. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "v = height * oneSideLength * otherSideLength
\n" ); document.write( "\"v=x%2832-2x%29%2840-2x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28v=4x%2816-x%29%2820-x%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28v=4x%5E3-144x%5E2%2B1280x%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You would either use a graphing calculator to find the maximum, or resort to Calculus taking derivative to find the maximum.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"dv%2Fdx+=+12x%5E2-288x%2B1280+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Find where \"12x%5E2-288x%2B1280+=0\".
