Maximum Volume You construct an open box from a square piece of material, 36 inches on a side, by cutting equal squares with sides of length x from the corners and turning up the sides (see figure). (a) Write a function V that represents the volume of the box. (b) Determine the domain of the function V . (c) Use a graphing utility to construct a table that shows the box heights x and the corresponding volumes V ( x ) . Use the table to estimate the dimensions that produce a maximum volume. (d) Use the graphing utility to graph V and use the graph to estimate the value of x for which V ( x ) is a maximum. Compare your result with that of part (c).
