Step-by-step explanation:
When folding up the box, x will be the height
(30-2x) will be the length
(25-2x) will be the width so
[tex]v(x) = x(30 - 2x)(25 - 2x)[/tex]
b. First, we can't have negative length or zero length so x must be Positve.
Set the other binomial equal to 0.
[tex]30 - 2x > 0[/tex]
[tex] - 2x > - 30[/tex]
[tex]x < 15[/tex]
[tex]25 - 2x > 0[/tex]
[tex] - 2x > - 25[/tex]
[tex]x < 12.5[/tex]
So our domain is
(0,12.5), meaning our value of x must be greater than 0 and less than 12.5
