Volume of a box A cardboard box has a square base, with each edge of the base having length x inches, as shown in the figure. The total length of all 12 edges of the box is 144 in. (a) Show that the volume of the box is given by the function V(x)=2x2(18x). (b) What is the domain of V? Use the fact that length and volume must be positive. (c) Draw a graph of the function V and use it to estimate the maxim volume for such a box.
Revenue A manufacturer finds that the revenue generated by selling x units of a certain commodity is given by the function R(x)=80x0.4x2, where the revenue R(x) is measured in dollars. What is the maximum revenue? and how many units should be manufactured to obtain this maximum?
Minimizing a Distance When we seek a minimum or maximum value of a function, it is sometimes easier to work with a simpler function instead. Suppose g(x)=f(x) where f(x)0 for all x. Explain why the local minima and maxima of f and g occur at the same values of x. Let gx be the distance between the point 3,0 and the point (x,x2) on the graph of the parabola y=x2. Express g as a function of x. Find the minimum value of the function g that you found in part b. Use the principle described in part a to simplify your work.
Volume of a Box An open box is to constructed from a piece of cardboard 20 cm by 40 cm by cutting squares of side length x from each corner and folding up the sides, as shownin figure. (a) Express the volume V of the box as a function of x. (b) What is the domain of V? (Use the fact that length and volume must be positive.) (c) Draw a graph of the function V, and use it to estimate the maximum volume for such a box.
