We want to make an open-top box by cutting out corners of a square piece of cardboard and folding up the sides. The cardboard is a 9 inch by 9 inch square. 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.
a. Write an expression for V(x).
9.97X
b. What is the volume of the box when x = 1?
C. What is a reasonable domain for V in this context?
(From Unit 2 Lesson 1.)
