in the first 2sqrt15 and the second is 120sqrt15
so how do i get the answer?
zero if you use no material.
no thats not the answer. i have online hw and it says 120sqrt15 is wrong
ok i c
the Surface area is SA: SA = 4(length)*(height) + (length)^2 = 300 Volume V=(length)^2*(height)
@SolomonZelman @wio @iambatman @zepdrix
Are you taking calculus doing optimization problems?
yes
So you need to find the equation for the volume of the box and take the derivative and find the maximum point
Using the surface area equation and solving for height, and puting that height(h) into the volume...i get v(L) = L * (300- L^2)
Find V'(L) = and set it to zero to find a maxiumum
V'=(300-L^2)-2L^2
i solved it for 0 and got 10,-10
\[\frac{ d }{ dL }[300L - L^3] = 300 - 2L^2 \]
yes, so you cant have a neg length, so L=10
use that in the volume or surface area equation and find the height
V=2000
L =10 H = 5 V = 500 cm^2 maximum
thanks
Thank you, that was a review for me, been like 6 yrs since calc 1. lol
