Kern Shipping Inc. has a requirement that all packages must be such that the combined length plus the girth (the perimeter of th

e cross section) cannot exceed 99 inches. Your goal is to find the package of maximum volume that can be sent by Kern Shipping. Assume that the base is a square.
a. Write the restriction and objective formulas in terms of x and y. Clearly label each.
b. Use the two formulas from part (a) to write volume as a function of x, V(x). Show all steps.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

a)

Assuming the shape of the base is square,

suppose the base of each side = x

Then the perimeter of the base of the square = 4x

Suppose the length of the package from the base = y; &

the height is also = x

Now, the restriction formula can be computed as:

y + 4x ≤ 99

The objective function:

i.e maximize volume V = l × b × h

V = (y)*(x)*(x)

V = x²y

b) To write the volume as a function of x, V(x) by equating the derived formulas in (a):

y + 4x ≤ 99   --- (1)

V = x²y          --- (2)

From equation (1),

y ≤ 99 - 4x

replace the value of y into (2)

V ≤ x² (99-4x)

V ≤ 99x² - 4x³

Maximum value V = 99x² - 4x³

At maxima or minima, the differential of \dfrac{d }{dx}(V)=0

\dfrac{d}{dx}(99x^2-4x^3) =0

⇒ 198x - 12x² = 0

12x \Big({\dfrac{33}{2}-x}}\Big)=0

By solving for x:

x = 0 or x = \dfrac{33}{2}

Again:

V = 99x² - 4x³

\dfrac{dV}{dx}= 198x -12x^2 \\ \\ \dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}=198 -24x

At x = \dfrac{33}{2}

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}\Big|_{x= \frac{33}{2}}=198 -24(\dfrac{33}{2})

\implies 198 - 12 \times 33

= -198

Thus, at maximum value;

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}\le 0

Recall y = 99 - 4x

when at maximum x = \dfrac{33}{2}

y = 99 - 4(\dfrac{33}{2})

y = 33

Finally; the volume V = x² y is;

V = (\dfrac{33}{2})^2 \times 33

V =272.25 \times 33

V = 8984.25 inches³
