Lesson 2

1. A manufacturer of open tin boxes wishes to make use of pieces of tin with dimensions 8 in by
15 in by cutting equal squares from the four corners and turning up the sides. Let x inches be
the length of the side of the square to be cut out; express the number of cubic inches in the
volume of the of the box as function of x.

𝑙 = 15 − 2𝑥
𝑤 = 8 − 2𝑥
ℎ=𝑥

Volume of a cube = lwh. Therefore, as a function:


𝑉(𝑥) = 𝑙𝑤ℎ
𝑉(𝑥) = (15 − 2𝑥)(8 − 2𝑥)(𝑥)
𝑉(𝑥) = (4𝑥 2 − 46𝑥 + 120)(𝑥)
𝑽(𝒙) = 𝟒𝒙𝟑 − 𝟒𝟔𝒙𝟐 + 𝟏𝟐𝟎𝒙

2. A rectangular garden is to be fenced off with 100 ft of fencing material. Let x feet be the
length of the garden; express the number of square feet in the area of the garden as a function
of x.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w
100 = 2𝑥 + 2𝑤
100 − 2𝑥 = 2𝑤
50 − 𝑥 = 𝑤

Area of a rectangle = lw. Therefore, as a function:


𝐴(𝑥) = 𝑥(50 − 𝑥)
𝑨(𝒙) = 𝟓𝟎𝒙 − 𝒙𝟐

3. A toy manufacturer can produce a particular toy at a cost of P 10 per toy. It is estimated that if
the selling price of the toy is X pesos, then the number of toys that are sold each day is 45 – x.
Express the number of dollars in the manufacturer’s daily profit as a function of x.

𝑃 10 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑜𝑦


𝑥 = 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
45 − 𝑥 = 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑜𝑦𝑠 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑑𝑎𝑦
