Question 5: (7 points) You want to construct a box with square base and open top
that must have a volume of 4 ft3. What should be dimensions of the box that
minimize the amount of material used?

 Given x 2 y  4 (*) 1

 Since amount of material depends on surface area so we need to

mimimize A  x 2  4 xy (**) 1

 From (*), we have y  .
x2
Substituting in (**) implies that we need to minimize

A( x)  x 2  for x  0 1

 A( x)  2 x  1

16 2 x3  16
A( x)  0  2 x  2  0  0
 x x2 1
 2 x3  16  0  x3  8  x  2

32
 A( x)  2   A(2)  0  x  2 is minimum. 1

 So the dimensions that minimize the amount of material (or equivalently the
surface area) are

x  2 and y  1 1
