If the squares have side x, then the volume is
v = x(8-2x)(18-2x) = 4x^3 - 52x^2 + 144x
dv/dx = 12x^2-104x+144 = 4(3x^2-26x+36)
so find where dv/dx = 0 and make sure that is a maximum, not a minimum.
An open box is to be made from 8 inches by 18 inches piece of cardboard by cutting
squares of equal size from the four corners and bending up the sides. How long should
