Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
The first part of the function, f(x) = -2x (for x < -1), is only graphed correctly in the first and third graphs.
The second part of the function, f(x) = -1 (for -1 ≤ x < 2) is only graphed correctly in the first graph, which also correctly graphs the third part of the function,
The appropriate choice is the first graph.
Check the picture below.
as you can see, the graph of the volume function comes from below goes up up up, reaches a U-turn then goes down down, U-turns again then back up to infinity.
the maximum is reached at the close up you see in the picture on the right-side.
Why we don't use a higher value from the graph since it's going to infinity?
well, "x" is constrained by the lengths of the box, specifically by the length of the smaller side, namely 5 - 2x, so whatever "x" is, it can't never zero out the smaller side, and that'd happen when x = 2.5, how so? well 5 - 2(2.5) = 0, so "x" whatever value is may be, must be less than 2.5, but more than 0, and within those constraints the maximum you see in the picture is obtained.
