Solve the following maxima and minima problems: A circular cylindrical container, open at the top and having a capacity of 24 cu. In., is to be manufactured. If the cost of the material for the bottom of the container is three times that of the cost of material for the curved part and if there is no waste of material, find the dimensions which will minimize the cost.
