1. An open-top box is to be constructed from a 6 foot by 8-foot rectangular cardboard by cutting out equal squares at each corner and folding up the flaps. Let x denote the length of each side of the square to be cut out.
a) Find the function V that represents the volume of the box in terms of x.
2. The volume of a cylinder (think about the volume of a can) is given by V = πr2h where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder. Suppose the volume of the can is 100 cubic centimeters.
a) Write h as a function of r. Keep "" in the function's equation.
b) What is the measurement of the height if the radius of the cylinder is 2 centimeters? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
