A container manufacturer plans to make rectangular boxes whose bottom and top measure 4x by 3x. The container must contain 48in.

3 The top and the bottom will cost $1.80 per square inch, while the four sides will cost $3.70 per square inch.
What should the height of the container be so as to minimize cost? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

The height of the container that will be able to minimize the cost will be 3.08cm.

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

The volume of the box will be:

= (3x)(4x)h

= 12x²h

From the information given, we are told that the container must contain 48in³. Therefore,

48 = 12x²h

h = 4/x²

The function cost will be:

= 3.50(2)(12x²) + 4.40(14x)h

= 84x² + 61.6x(4/x²)

= 84x² + 246.4/x

We'll use the first derivative. This will be:

dC/dx = 168x - 246.4/x²

x = 1.14.

Therefore, the height will be:

h = 4/x² = 4/1.14² = 3.08cm

In conclusion, the height is 3.08cm.

Answer:

the amount after 5 years using compound continuously is $135.03

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount after 5 years using compound continuously is as follows

= Principal × e^(rate × time period)

= $110 × e^(4.2% × 5)

= $110 × 1.227525065

= $135.03

Hence, the amount after 5 years using compound continuously is $135.03

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
