\From the table :
\Volume of the box :
\.
(c)
\Volume .
Derivative on each side with respect to .
Find the crirical numbers by equating derivative to zero.
\ and
and
.
Thus, the critical numbers are and
.
.
Derivative on each side with respect to .
.
If , then
.
By second derivative test, is a maximum value.
Substitute in
.
.
Thus, the maximum volume is .
If , then
.
By the second derivative test, is a minimum value.
The volume function is .
Draw a coordinate plane.
\Graph the function .
Graph :
\Observe the graph :
\The maximum volume occurs at and the maximum volume is
