An open box of maximum volume is to be made from a square piece of material, 24 centimeters on a side, by cutting equal squares from the corners and turning up the sides as shown below.
(a) The table shows the volume V (in cubic centimeters) of the box for various heights x (in centimeters). Use the table to estimate the maximum volume.
Height, x 1 2 3 4 5 6
Volume, V 484 800 972 1024 980 864

Correct: Your answer is correct. cubic centimeters

(b) Plot the points (x, V) from the table in part (a). Does the relation defined by the ordered pairs represent V as a function of x?
     Correct: Your answer is correct.

(c) If V is a function of x, write the function. (If V is not a function of x, enter NONE.)
V =
x(24−2x)2
Correct: Your answer is correct.
