Study Notes
- A rectangular sheet of metal measuring 60 cm by 50 cm has squares, each with a side of x cm, cut off from its corners.
- The remaining portion is then made into a cuboid with a volume of V cm³.
- The task is to find the value of x that will maximize the box's volume.
- When x=2, the second derivative of the volume with respect to x, d²V/dx² = 246.
- This implies the need to minimize.
- Therefore, the length of the sheet is expressed as (60 - 2x) cm and (50 - 2x) cm.
