If a box with a square cross section is to be sent by a delivery service, there are restrictions on its size such that its volume is given by V = x2(54 − 2x), where x is the length of each side of the cross section (in inches). What restrictions must be placed on x (the domain) so that the problem makes physical sense? (Enter your answer using interval notation. If V is not a function of x, enter DNE.)
