Thomas buys a cardboard sheet that is 8 by 12 inches. Let x be the side length of each cutout. Sketch the graph of the function. Do not copy and paste the previous answer on Brain. ly already, please. I need the graph.

1. If we let x as the side of the square cut-out, the formula for the capacity (volume) of the food dish is:

V = (12 - 2x)(8 - 2x)(x)

V = 96x - 40x^2 + 4x^3

To find the zeros, we equate the equation to 0, so, the values of x that would result to zero would be:

x = 0, 6, 4

2. To get the value of x to obtain the maximum capacity, we differentiate the equation, equate it to zero, and solve for x.

dV/dx = 96 - 80x + 12x^2 = 0

x = 5.10, 1.57

The value of x that would give the maximum capacity is x = 1.57

3. If the volume of the box is 12, then the value of x can be solved using:

12 = 96x - 40x^2 + 4x^3

x = 0.13, 6.22, 3.65

The permissible value of x is 0.13 and 3.65

4. Increasing the cutout of the box increases the volume until its dimension reaches 1.57. After that, the value of the volume decreases it reaches 4.

5. V = (q -2x) (p - 2x) (x)
