The base of an aquarium with given volume V is made of slate and the sides are made of glass. If the slate costs three times as much (per unit area) as glass, use Lagrange multipliers to find the dimensions of the aquarium that minimize the cost of the materials. (Enter the dimensions as a comma separated list; Note that the variable volume is a capital V and must be entered as such, using the shift rather than caps-lock key)
