   V(x) = x(10-2x)(16-2x)
   
   When i V'(x) = 0... x is always a non real number... I don't know why, can someone help me thanks.

   V(x) = (10x-2x^2)(16-2x)
   V(x) = 160x - 20x^2 - 32x^2 + 4x^3
   V(x) = 160x - 52x^2 + 4x^3
   V'(x) = 160 - 104x + 12x^2
   0 = 160 - 104x + 12x^2 I don't feel like doing quadratic equation so I just graphed it
   x = 2, x = 6.6666666 (which is 20/3)
   
   How did you go about getting your answers?
