QuestionFind the side length $x$ of a square sheet to create a box with volume 100 cubic feet using $V(x)=(x-2)^{2}$.

Studdy Solution
After applying the Newton-Raphson method several times, we find that $x$ converges to approximately4.934. So, the dimensions of the sheet metal needed to make a box that will hold100 cubic feet are approximately4.934 feet by4.934 feet.
The sheet metal should be a square with a side length of approximately4.934 feet.
