1. A supermarket employee wants to construct an open-top bax from a 14 by 30 in a piece four corners so the four sides can be bent upwards. What size should the squares be in order to create a box with the largest possible volume? 2. Which point on the graph of y = square root of x is closest to the point (7,0)?
