1 Write it in terms of one variable. 2 Find the first derivative and set it equal to zero. 3 Check the end points if necessary. To find the maximum (or minimum) value of a function:
An open-top box is to be made by cutting congruent squares of side length x from the corners of a 20- by 25-inch sheet of tin and bending up the sides. How large should the squares be to make the box hold as much as possible? What is the resulting maximum volume? Verify that this is a max. Check the endpoints.
