DAmon you equaled them to zero that is not rightt
An open-topped box can be made from a rectangular sheet of aluminum,
an open-topped box can be made from a rectangular sheet of aluminum, with dimensions 40 cm by 25 cm, by cutting equal-sized squares from the four corners and folding up the sides.
Declare your variables and write a function to calculate the volume of a box that can be formed.
I figured out this part because the function would be f(x)=x(25-2x)(40-2x)
x being the height
25-2x being the width
40-2x being length
Then it asks what cut lengths to the nearest hundredth are acceptable if the volume of the box must be between 1512 and 2176cm^3.
So you would the write 1512<x(40-2x)(25-2x)<2176
how to you solve the inequality to get the x
PLEASE HELP THNX I HAVE A TEST TMR

and then to 2176
THEN
I subtracted 1512 from the first both sides
AND
I subtracted 2176 from the second both sides
PLEASE calm down and think
1512<x(40-2x)(25-2x)<2176
it does not equal 1512 it is bigger than it hence this (<)
4x^3 - 130x^2 + 1000x - 1512 > 0 instead of equalling
