Question 307

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-An open-top box is to be made by cutting small identical squares from each corner of a 12-by-12-in. sheet of tin and bending up the sides. If each corner square is xx inches on a side, the volume of the box (in in. 3{ }^{3} ) is given by:
V(x) =144x48x2+4x3\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{x}) =144 \mathrm{x}-48 \mathrm{x}^{2}+4 \mathrm{x}^{3}
By sketching the graph of V(x) \mathrm{V}(\mathrm{x}) , estimate what values of x\mathrm{x} result in a box with a volume greater than 64in364 \mathrm{in}^{3} .


A) 1.5 in. x2.5\leq x \leq 2.5 in.
B) 0.1 in. x5.0\leq x \leq 5.0 in.
C) 1.0 in. x3.0\leq x \leq 3.0 in.
D) 0.54 in. x4\leq x \leq 4 in.
