This math topic focuses on converting practical scenarios into quadratic equations, specifically the process of deriving the equation for the volume of a box from a modified sheet of cardboard. Students are presented with the dimensions of rectangular cardboard sheets, and they must derive the volume in standard form as a function of the variable \(x\), representing cuts made into each side before folding it into a box. This involves understanding relationships within quadratic functions and applying them to real-world problems.
