Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete data can only have certain values. For example, if you roll a die, there are only 6 numbers you can get. Continuous data can have any value within a range.

Graphically, discrete data will appear as only points, where as continuous data appears as a line or curve.

So the top left and bottom right graphs are discrete. The top right and bottom left graphs are continuous.

To be a function, each x value can only have 1 y value. Graphically, we can check this using the "vertical line method". Imagine a vertical line (or use a ruler or straight edge) and move it from left to right. If it ever crosses the graph in two or more places, the graph is not a function.

Therefore, the graphs on the left are not functions, and the graphs on the right are functions.

Let x represent the side length of the square end, and let d represent the dimension that is the sum of length and girth. Then the volume V is given by
V = x²(d -4x)
Volume will be maximized when the derivative of V is zero.
dV/dx = 0 = -12x² +2dx
0 = -2x(6x -d)
This has solutions
x = 0, x = d/6

a) The largest possible volume is
(d/6)²(d -4d/6) = 2(d/6)³
= 2(108 in/6)³ = 11,664 in³

b) The dimensions of the package with largest volume are
d/6 = 18 inches square by
d -4d/6 = d/3 = 36 inches long
