Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

#### Problem Description
a. Suppose the paper is 11"-wide by 13"-long. Let \( x \) represent the length of the side of the square cutout (in inches), and let \( V \) represent the volume of the box (in cubic inches).
i. **Write a formula that expresses \( V \) in terms of \( x \).**
\[
V = x(11-2x)(13-2x)
\]
ii. **If the cutout length increases from 0.5 to 2.6 inches, how much does the volume of the box change by?**
- **Change in Volume:** 14.0608 cubic inches
iii. **Estimate the maximum volume for this box?**
- *Tip: Use a graphing tool like [www.Desmos.com](http://www.Desmos.com).*
- **Maximum Volume:** ___ cubic inches
iv. **What cutout length produces the maximum volume?**
- **Cutout Length:** ___ inches
b. Suppose we instead create the box from a 5"-wide by 7"-long sheet of paper.
i. **Estimate the maximum volume for this box?**
- *Tip: Use a graphing tool like [www.Desmos.com](http://www.Desmos.com).*
- **Maximum Volume:** ___ cubic inches
ii. **What cutout length produces the maximum volume?**
- **Cutout Length:** ___ inches
#### Instructions
- **Box 1:** Enter your answer as an expression. Example: 3x^2+1, x/5, (a+b)/c. Be sure your variables match those in the question.
#### Visual Aid
There are green and orange shapes at the top, illustration not provided here. These may assist in visualizing how the box is formed from the piece of paper by cutting and folding along the specified lines.
### Diagram/Graph Explanation
The main aspect of this problem involves visualizing how a piece of paper is transformed into a box. You are given the paper's dimensions and must calculate how the cutout size affects the box's volume, ultimately finding the cutout size that maximizes the volume. Use the graphing tool suggested to plot and find the optimal solutions for the expressions given.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9e07a845-a6b5-4f4b-801c-0ca9d759be51%2F8cbcc0b3-b641-4992-81a1-d240787a460d%2Fkypez16.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
