Question: Numerical, Graphical, and Analytic Analysis An open box of maximum volume is to be made from a square piece of material, 24 inches on a side, by cutting equal squares from the corners and turning up the sides (see figure)
- Analytically complete six rows of a table such as the one below. (The first two rows are shown.) Use the table to guess the maximum volume.
| Height |
Length and
Width |
Volume |
| 1 | 24 – 2(1) | 1[24 – 2(1)] 2 = 484 |
| 2 | 24 – 2(2) | 2[24 – 2(2)] 2 = 800 |
(b) Write the volume V as a function of x .
(c)Use calculus to find the critical number of the function in part (b) and find the maximum value.
-
Use a graphing utility to graph the function in part (b) and verify the maximum volume from the graph.
