Question 1097453: a box with no lid can be made by cutting out squares from EACH corner of a rectangular piece of cardboad and folding up the sides. A paricular piece of cardboard has a legnth of 20 cm and a width of 16 cm the side legnth of a corner square is x.
the volume function and its domain are?

Two squares come off each length and each width, the square having side x
The volume function is therefore V=x(20-2x)(16-2x).
The domain is restricted from x>0 to x < 8, or (0, 8)
