a box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 119164 cm3 cm3. we wish to find the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used. first, find a formula for the surface area of the box in terms of only x x, the length of one side of the square base. [hint: use the volume formula to express the height of the box in terms of x x.] simplify your formula as much as possible.

Sagot :

The surface area of the box in terms of x is  [tex]\frac{x^{3} +476656}{x}[/tex] and the surface area is minimum at x=62cm.

The quantity of a rectangular box is given by using V=duration × width × peak.

The duration and width of the base of the rectangular container is x.

allow height of the container =h

Volume = 119164 cubic cm

Volume of box=length × width ×height

[tex]or,x^{2} h=119164\\or,h=\frac{119164}{x^{2} }[/tex]

Surface area of the box=base area+4(area of 1 wall)

or, surface area=[tex]x^{2} +4xh[/tex]

Let us denote the surface area as a function of x.

[tex]A(x)=x^{2} +\frac{4\times(119164)}{x}[/tex]

Now let us find the first derivative of A(x).

[tex]A'(x)=2x-\frac{476656}{x^{2} }[/tex]

At[tex]A'(x)=0\\[/tex]  

[tex]2x-\frac{476656}{x^{2} }=0\\or, x=62[/tex]

Now A(x) is minimum for x, at A'(x)=0.

Hence the surface area will be [tex]\frac{x^{3} +476656}{x}[/tex] which will be minimum at x=62.
