Question: S 8 9 . Numerical and Graphical Analysis An open box is to be made from a square piece of material, 3 6 inches on

S 89. Numerical and Graphical Analysis An open box is to be made from a square piece of material, 36 inches on a side, by cutting equal squares with sides of length \( x \) from the corners and turning up the sides (see figure).
(a) Verify that the volume of the box is given by the function
\[
V(x)=x(36-2 x)^{2}
\]
(b) Determine the domain of the function.
(c) Use a graphing utility to create a table that shows the box height \( x \) and the corresponding volumes \( V \). Use the table to estimate the dimensions that will produce a maximum volume.
(d) Use a graphing utility to graph \( V \) and use the graph to estimate the value of \( x \) for which \( V(x)\) is maximum. Compare your result with that of part (c).
