Answer:

4in. square x 4in. square x 1in. square

Step-by-step explanation:

By cutting out identical squares (considering 'x') from each corner and bending up the resulting flaps

The dimensions we have will be (see attachment for the figure)

V= (6-2x) (6-2x) x

As, Volume'V' = length (l) x width(w) x height(h)

V= (6x- 2x²)(6-2x)

V= 36x - 12x²-12x²+ 4x³

V=4x³ - 24x²+ 36x

Next is to find dV/dx,therefore we find the derivative and and set it to zero for the maximum volume

dV/dx = 12x² - 48x + 36

setting it to zero

12x² - 48x + 36 =0

x² - 4x + 3=0

x² -3x -x + 3=0

x(x-3) -1(x-3)=0

Either : x-3=0=> x=3

OR : x-1 =0 => x=1

Now, notice that 'x' cannot be 3 , because if  we cut 3 inch squares out of the original square, there  will be nothing left!

Also,  the volume will be 0 then. That  is the minimum volume, 0, when we cut all the tin away.

So, x=1

Therefore,

height 'x' = 1in. square

length and width = (6-2x) => 4in. square

How to find the coordinates?
zhenek [66]
The lower number of the fraction is the X value and since it's negative u go 3 to the right(if u loon at point T)and since it's a negative 4 on the top you go 4 down and if you would reverse it you would notice that 0|4 is 1 y value below the straight line so the coordinates are (3|5)
