Answer:

<u><em>Dimension of box:-</em></u>

Side of square base = 10 in

Height of box = 5 in

Minimum Surface area, S = 300 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

An open box with a square base is to have a volume of 500 cubic inches.

Let side of the base be x and height of the box is y

Volume of box = area of base × height

                 500=x^2y

Therefore, y=\dfrac{500}{x^2}

It is open box. The surface area of box, S .

S=x^2+4xy

Put  y=\dfrac{500}{x^2}

S(x)=x^2+\dfrac{2000}{x}

This would be rational function of surface area.

For maximum/minimum to differentiate S(x)

S'(x)=2x-\dfrac{2000}{x^2}

For critical point, S'(x)=0

2x-\dfrac{2000}{x^2}=0

x^3=1000

x=10

Put x = 10 into y=\dfrac{500}{x^2}

y = 5

Double derivative of S(x)

S''(x)=2+\dfrac{4000}{x^3} at x = 10

S''(10) > 0

Therefore, Surface is minimum at x = 10 inches

Minimum Surface area, S = 300 in²

Answer: correct is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Annex the bar graph that shows which improvement time is less, the new formula being more effective, with an average of 55 minutes and the average of the old formula is 75 minutes, which leads to the conclusion that the new formula is better than the previous one with a time difference of 20 minutes.
