For each centimeter increase in the radius the worker decreases the height of the cone four centimeters. Write a function V(x) to represent the volume of each cone the worker makes as a function of x. What are the roots of the equation? What is the domain that makes sense for this problem? Explain your reasoning. Calculate the volume for each integer value x in this domain. For what integer value of x is the volume of the cone a maximum? \n" ); document.write( "
