Extrema of Polynomials

A company designs boxes based on their maximum volume. A particular box will have the dimensions for height, length and width as shown the volume equation V(x) = x(20-2x)(8-2x). The domain for x, height in inches is 0<x<4. What is the maximum volume of the crate?

• 1.761 cubic inches

• 129.942 cubic inches

• there is no maximum

• 128 cubic inches

On what interval(s) is this graph decreasing?

A polynomial of degree n will have at most how many extrema?

• n − 1

• n + 1

• n

• n/2

Which one of the following could be the polynomial seen in the image?

• y = (x + 3)(x + 1)(x − 2)

• y = -(x + 3)(x + 1)(x − 2)

• y = -(x − 3)(x + 1)(x + 2)

• y = (x + 3)(x + 1)(x + 2)
