  • Thanks to all of you who support me on Patreon. You da real mvps! $1 per month helps!! :) / patrickjmt !! Optimization Problem #5 - Max Volume of a Box Made From Square of Material. In this video, I find the maximum volume of a box made from a 2ft x 2ft piece of metal when corners of equal size are removed and then the sides of the box are folded up.

    So I loaded this video up this morning, but had to leave to go take my calc final before I had time to watch it. There was 1 question on my final that I couldn't figure out and it was literally the exact same question as in this video... fuck my life.

      ​@@user-yq4eq5cy8d Calc 3 ended up being the worst grade on my undergrad transcript (and I took more math beyond it). I can do calculus in my sleep now, but I still have the occasional nightmare from this class. Luckily my major was Computer Science, so I awake from those nightmares on a very comfortable mattress! :)

    Look at 02:14. The white space he points to that says "side" will be folded from its horizontal position into a vertical position. Now that white space is standing straight up, so x becomes the height of the side of that white space. Since it is a box all the sides are the same height, so x becomes the height of the box.

    @beachcomber2008 13 лет назад

    The minimum surface/volume is a sphere
    The maximum volume of a box is a cube
    To get a cube from a square you divide the edge by three and notch away
    It took longer to write that than to think it
    I hope derivatives are useful in more complex ways that are themselves useful
    Don't mind me... :)

    #1 It says in the problem description that they are squares.
    #2 If they weren't squares the box would have different heights, effectively meaning it is a pretty useless box...

    The proof should be 2/3 to the power of 3, right ? I think you forgot to see that it is 1/3 of 2 feet or 2 feet divided by 3. So it should be (6/3 - 2x2/3) (6/3-2x2/3) 2/3
