The optimum shape of such a box is half a cube. The corresponding cube will have a volume of 2×256 ft³ = 512 ft³ = (8 ft)³. Such a box has a square base that is 8 ft on a side. If the height is half that of the cube, it will be 4 ft.

The dimensions of your box will be 8 ft square by 4 ft high.

_____

If the base dimension is x ft, the area (quantity of material) is

... a = x² + 4x(256/x²)

... a = x² + 1024x⁻¹

Then the derivative of area with respect to x is

... a' = 2x -1024x⁻²

Setting this derivative to zero and solving for x gives the value of x for minimum area.

... 0 = 2x -1024/x²

... 512 = x³

... x = 8 . . . . . . . . same as above.

Mandy used the graph to write the equation of the line it represents. She took these steps. 1. y−intercept = (0, 2) 2. Slope = r
Katyanochek1 [597]

Based on the information given about the equation, y will be 0.5x + 2.

<h3>How to illustrate the equation?</h3>

From the information given, it should be noted that the equation of the line it represents was given and the y intercept is = (0, 2).

The function to represent y will be:

y = mx + b

y = (1/2)x + 2

y = 0.5x + 2

In conclusion, y = 0.5x + 2.
