Also mr.max i was wondering if maybe we could have another "Catch Up Day" because last time we had one it really helped most of us get some progress on acclerated math, it also cleared up a TON of questions! Just an idea though :) Thanks.

Cardboard Questions

QUESTION: An 8CM square peice of cardboard is made into an open-topped box by cutting xCM from each corner.

A) What is the volume of the box?
B) What is the max value of X? (Couldn't Get)

ANSWERS:

A) V= L x W x H
V= (8-2x) (8-2x) (x)
V= (64 - 16x - 16x + 4squared) x
V= 64x - 16xsquared - 16xsquared + 4xcubed
V= 4xcubed - 32xsquared + 64x

- Use FOIL.
