Answer:

The largest possible volume of the box is 2000000 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V), in cubic centimeters, and surface area (A_{s}), in square centimeters, of the box with a square base are described below:

A_{s} = l^{2}+h\cdot l (1)

V = l^{2}\cdot h (2)

Where:

l - Side length of the base, in centimeters.

h - Height of the box, in centimeters.

By (2), we clear h within the formula:

h = \frac{V}{l^{2}}

And we apply in (1) and simplify the resulting expression:

A_{s} = l^{2}+ \frac{V}{l}

A_{s}\cdot l = l^{3}+V

V = A_{s}\cdot l -l^{3} (3)

Then, we find the first and second derivatives of this expression:

V' = A_{s}-3\cdot l^{2} (4)

V'' = -6\cdot l (5)

If V' = 0 and A_{s} = 30000\,cm^{2}, then we find the critical value of the side length of the base is:

30000-3\cdot l^{2} = 0

3\cdot l^{2} = 30000

l = 100\,cm

Then, we evaluate this result in the expression of the second derivative:

V'' = -600

By Second Derivative Test, we conclude that critical value leads to an absolute maximum. The maximum possible volume of the box is:

V = 30000\cdot l - l^{3}

V = 2000000\,cm^{3}

The largest possible volume of the box is 2000000 cubic meters.

So the equation you'll use is (18,000 × .041)y+18000. Y is your years which is 20. So all you need to do is plug it in to get (18,000 × .041)20+18000 and when solved is 32,760 downloads by 2030
