A rectangular storage container with a lid is to have a volume of 2 m3. The length of its base is twice the width. Material for

the base costs $1 per m2. Material for the sides and lid costs $2 per m2. Find the dimensions of the container which will minimize cost and the minimum cost.

Answer:

Dimensions are 2 m by 1 meter by 1 meter,

Minimum cost is $ 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width ( in meters ) of the container,

Since, the length is twice of the width,

So, length of the container = 2w,

Now, if h be the height of the container,

Volume = length × width × height

2 = 2w × w × h

1 = w² × h

\implies h=\frac{1}{w^2}

Since, the area of the base = l × w = 2w × w = 2w²,

Area of the lid = l × w = 2w²,

While the area of the sides = 2hw + 2hl

= 2h( w + l)

= 2\times \frac{1}{w^2}(w+2w)

=\frac{6w}{w^2}

=\frac{6}{w}  

Since, Material for the base costs $1 per m². Material for the sides and lid costs $2 per m²,

So, the total cost,

C(w) = 1\times 2w^2+2\times 2w^2 + 2\times \frac{6}{w}

=2w^2+4w^2+\frac{12}{w}

=6w^2+\frac{12}{w}

Differentiating with respect to w,

C'(w) = 12w -\frac{12}{w^2}

Again differentiating with respect to w,

C''(w) = 12 + \frac{24}{w^3}

For maxima or minima,

C'(w) = 0

\implies 12w -\frac{12}{w^2}=0

\implies 12w^3 - 12=0

w^3-1=0\implies w = 1

For w = 1, C''(w) = positive,

Hence, for width 1 m the cost is minimum,

Therefore, the minimum cost is C(1) = 6(1)²+12 = $ 18,

And, the dimension for which the cost is minimum is,

2 m by 1 meter by 1 meter.

Alborosie
It is 1/1000 or 1/10∧-3
that is because whenever there is a negative exponent put it as the denominator and the numerator by default, if there isn't any, should be one. 
so put it under and then figure it out

Find the solution to the system of equations: x + 3y = 7 and 2x + 4y = 8 1. Isolate x in the first equation: 2. Substitute the v
klemol [59]
X + 3y = 7
x = -3y + 7

2x + 4y = 8
2(-3y + 7) + 4y = 8
-6y + 14 + 4y = 8
-2y = 8 - 14
-2y = - 6
y = -6/-2
y = 3

x + 3y = 7
x + 3(3) = 7
x + 9 = 7
x = 7 - 9
x = -2

solution is (-2,3)
