Aritmetic increases by the same number

geometric has 1 number that each term is multiplied by to get the next term

4 to 9 is 5
9 to 13 is 4
not same difference

9/4=13/9?
81/36=52/36?
no

neither aritmetic nor geometric

Answer:

The value of x that maximizes the volume enclosed by this box is 0.46 inches

The maximum volume is 3.02 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The volume of the open-topped box is equal to

$V=LWH$

where

$L=(7-2x)\ in\\W=(2-2x)\ in\\H=x\ in$

substitute

$V=(7-2x)(2-2x)x$

Convert to expanded form

$V=(7-2x)(2-2x)x\\V=(14-14x-4x+4x^{2})x\\V=14x-14x^2-4x^2+4x^{3}\\V=4x^{3}-18x^{2} +14x$

using a graphing tool

Graph the cubic equation

Remember that

The domain for x is the interval -----> (0,1)

Because

If x>1

then

the width is negative (W=2-2x)

The maximum is the point (0.46,3.02)

see the attached figure

therefore

The value of x that maximizes the volume enclosed by this box is 0.46 inches

The maximum volume is 3.02 cubic inches
