Andre wants to make an open box by cutting out corners of a 22 inch by 28 inch poster board and then folding up the sides. The volume V(x) in cubic inches of the open top box is a function of the side length x in inches of the square cutouts. Write and expression for v(x)

Respuesta :

Answer:

v(x) = x(22 - 2x)(28 - 2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the box = 28 - 2x inches,

The width = 22 - 2x inches and the height  = x inches.

v(x) = x * width * length.

The volume of the open top box is [tex]V(x) = (28 - 2x)(22 - 2x)(x)[/tex] cubic inches

The volume of the box is V = (length)(width)(height).

Let the cutout side length be [tex]x[/tex] inch,

We are to cut out [tex]x[/tex] by

So, the length of the box is [tex]28 - 2x[/tex] inch

the width of the box is [tex]22 - 2x[/tex] inch and

the height of the box is [tex]x[/tex] inch

Now, substituting the values in the volume formula, we get

[tex]V(x) = (28 - 2x)(22 - 2x)(x)[/tex] cubic inches
