a large crate has hieght 2 meters, and its length is 3 times its width.
write an equation to describe the volume of the box in terms of its width.
plot your equation with point for widths from 0 to 10
describe the graph of your equation
would it make sence to choose negative values for w to find the volume of this crate?
state an equation whose graph would be a parabola. describe its line of symmetry

Volume = height * length * width.
In this case, height = 3, and length = 3 * width, so,
volume = 3 * 3 * width * width,
volume = 9 * width^2.
If I could plot it here, I would... but your graph will look like a parabola (opening upwards, sharply).
It could make sense to choose a negative value; this would just mean your crate is on the opposite side of your frame of reference. Like using a yardstick, but from the other end.
