The dimensions of the square base after cutting the corners will be (40-2x). The depth of the box will be x, so its volume is given by
V = x(40-2x)²
You can differentiate this to get
V' = 12x² -320x -1600
Setting this to zero and factoring gives
(3x-20)(x-20) = 0
The appropriate choice of solutions is
x = 20/3 = 6 2/3
The dimensions of the box of maximum volume are
26 2/3 in square by 6 2/3 in deep
The maximum volume is
(80/3 in)²(20/3 in) = 4740 20/27 in³
V = x(40-2x)²
You can differentiate this to get
V' = 12x² -320x -1600
Setting this to zero and factoring gives
(3x-20)(x-20) = 0

x = 20/3 = 6 2/3
The dimensions of the box of maximum volume are

Answer:
x = - 3 ±
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x + 7 = 0 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
x² + 6x = - 7
using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(3)x + 9 = - 7 + 9
(x + 3)² = 2 ( take square root of both sides )
x + 3 = ± ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = - 3 ±
