QuickTime and a TIFF (LZW) decompressor We are given that w =are needed to see this picture. h and l+w = 108
Then volume is V = w * w * (108-w) V = 108w - w

We find dV/dw = 216w - 3w and set this to 0 for the maxima.

216w - 3w = 0 72 - w = 0 w = sqrt(72) = 62 inches Then height = 62 inches and l = QuickTime and a 108 - 62 inches

are needed approx. this picture. The volume is 432(18-2) cubic inches orto see 7165 in
Let: L = length (longest dimension) w = width h = height V = volume We have: L + 2(w + h) = 108 QuickTime and a But w = h. TIFF (LZW) decompressor L + 2(w + w) = 108 are needed to see this picture. L + 4w = 108 L = 108 - 4w

Since dimensions need to be positive two solutions are eliminated. w = 18 = 32 The dimensions of the box with maximum volume are: w = 32 inches h = 32 inches L = 108 - 4w = 108 - 4(32) = 108 - 122 inches

Find the nonnegative numbers x and y that satisfy the given requirements. Give the optimum value of the indicated expression. 1) The sum of x and y is 200 and the sum of the squares of x and y is minimized. Given: x+y=200 f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 Solve the first equation for "y": y = -x + 200 Substitute into the second: f(x) = x^2 + (-x + 200)^2 To find the min/max, take the derivative: f'(x) = 2x + 2*(-x + 200)*(-1) f'(x) = 2x - 2*(-x + 200) f'(x) = 2x + 2x - 400 f'(x) = 4x - 400 400 = 4x 100 = x Solve for y: y = -x + 200 y = -100 + 200 y = 100

Check concavity: f''(x) = 4 Since this is positive, the curve is concave upward. Therefore, the calculated point is a minimum point. Answer: At x=100, y=100, the sum of their squares is minimized.
