Answer:

V=4x^3-60x^2+216x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Volume And Function s</u>

Geometry can usually be joined with algebra to express volumes as a function of some variable. The volume of a parallelepiped of dimensions a,b,c is

V=abc

Our problem consists in computing the volume of a box made with some sheet of metal 12 ft by 18 ft. The four corners are cut by a square distance x as shown in the image below .

If the four corners are to be lifted and a box formed, the base of the box will have dimensions (12-2x)(18-2x) and the height will be x. The volume of the box is

V=x(12-2x)(18-2x)

Operating and simplifying

V=4x^3-60x^2+216x
