This is a polynomial question

An open box is constructed from 28cm by 21 cm sheet of cardboard by cutting out equal squares of side x cm from each corner and then folding up the sides. The volume of such a box is given by the cubic function V (x)= x(28-2x)(21-2x). Using technology, determine,

a) what size of square, correct to the nearest hundredth, is cut from the corners to have a box with volume of 750 cm3? State both possible solutions.

b) what size of square, correct to the nearest hundredth, is cut from the corners to have box with the maximum volume?
