An open box is to be made from cutting squares of side s from each corner of a piece of cardboard 25" by 30".

a.Write an expression for the volume, V, of the box in terms of s.
b. Graph V(s) using your graphing calculator. Identify the domain and range of this graph.

I believe I've asked this question before, but I would like to check it. I think the expression is

s(30-2s)(25-2s)

expanded, I believe it's 4s^3-110s^2+750s

However, I try to graph it, but I don't see anything. Could someone help me out with the window of the graph? I have no idea how to change it so I can see the graph.

Thanks!

well, s will run from zero to 12.5
I didn't check your expansion, I graphed it on the web as the algrebraic function of ()() ().

V will run from zero to guessing, 1760 try that.
