90. A square piece of tin of side 18 cm is to be made into a box without top, by cutting a square from each corner and folding up the flaps to form the box. What should be the side of the square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is the maximum possible.
90. A square piece of tin of side 18 cm is to be made into a box without top, by cutting a square from each corner and folding up the flaps to form the box. What should be the side of the square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is the maximum possible.
Side of the tin square piece = 18 cm
Let x cm be the thought of the square to be cut from each corner.
The volume v of the box after cutting
v = length * breadth * height
= (18 - 2x) (18 - 2x) x x
= (18 - 2x)2x
= (324 + 4x2- 72x) x
= 4x3- 72x2 + 324x
So,
As
x2- 12x + 27 = 0
x2- 9x- 3x + 27 = 0
x (x - 9)

dy/dx = 2x² - 15x + 10.
For tangent at (a, b), slope is m = dx/dy = 1 / (dy/dx) = 1 / (2a² - 15a + 10).
Given slope is -1/3.
2a² - 15a + 10 = -3
2a² - 15a + 13 = 0 (The provided solution has 2a²-15a+7=0, suggesting a different problem or a typo)
Following the image: 2a² - 15a
f' (c) = 1 + lnc = e/ (e-1)
lnc = e/ (e-1) - 1 = (e - (e-1)/ (e-1) = 1/ (e-1)
c = e^ (1/ (e-1)
