Question 1162092: To make boxes, a manufacturer cuts equal-sized squares from each corner of a 11-inch × 14-inch piece of cardboard, and then folds up the sides. The polynomial function
f(x) = 4x3 − 50x2 + 154x
gives the volume (in cubic inches) of the resulting box when a square with sides x inches long is cut from each corner. Find the volume of a box if 3-inch squares are cut out.

The volume under the question is


    V = (11-2*3)*(14-2*3)*3 = 5*8*3 = 120 cubic inches.      ANSWER

Solved.

To solve the problem and to get the answer, I do not need to see the polynomial in the post.

It is unnecessary and excessive info, given to confuse/(to distract) the reader.
