given that x = 0 when y = 2. (10 marks)
(b) A rectangular sheet of metal having dimensions 30cm by 22cm has equal squares
of side x cm removed from each of the four corners and the sides bent upward to form
an open box. Show that the volume of the box is given by
3 2 4 x − 104 x + 660 x
and use differentiation to find the maximum volume of the box. (12 marks)
