Question
An open box is to be made out of a piece of a square card board of sides 18 cms by cutting off equal squares from the comers and turning up the sides. Find the maximum volume of the box.

Solution
Let the side of the square cut off from the corners be x cm.
Therefore, each side of the square box is (18 – 2x) cms and the height is x cms.
Let V be the volume of the box.
V = Area of the base × Height
V = (18 − 2x)2x
V = (324 − 72x + 4x2) x
∴ V = 4x3 − 72x2 + 324x
Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
`(dV)/dx = 12x^2 - 144x + 324`
`therefore (d^2V)/dx^2 = 24x - 144`
For maximum volume, `(dV)/dx = 0`
∴ 12x2 − 144x + 324 = 0
∴ x2 − 12x + 27 = 0
∴ (x − 3) (x − 9) = 0
∴ x − 3 = 0 or x − 9 = 0
∴ x = 3 or x = 9
But x ≠ 9
∴ x = 3
For x = 3
`((d^2V)/dx^2)_(x = 3) = 24(3) - 144 = -72 < 0`
The volume of the box is maximum when x = 3.
∴ Maximum value of the box = (18 − 6)2 (3)
= 432 cc

Complete the following activity to divide 84 into two parts such that the product of one part and square of the other is maximum.
Solution: Let one part be x. Then the other part is 84 - x
Letf (x) = x2 (84 - x) = 84x2 - x3
∴ f'(x) = `square`
and f''(x) = `square`
For extreme values, f'(x) = 0
∴ x = `square "or" square`
f(x) attains maximum at x = `square`
Hence, the two parts of 84 are 56 and 28.
