A manufacturer wants to construct a box whose base length is 4 times the base width. The material to build the top and bottom cost 8 dollars per ft.2 and sides 5 dollars per ft.2. If the box must have a volume of 72 ft.3, determine the dimensions that will minimize cost.

width = 1.77845 ft

length = 7.1138 ft

height = 5.691 ft

total cost = $759.09

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = length x width x height

length = 4 width

base of the rectangle = 4 x 1 w = 4w²

72 (volume) = 4w²h

18 = w²h

f(c) = (2 x 4w² x $10) + (2 x wh x $5) + (2 x 4wh x $5)

f(c) = 80w² + 10wh + 40wh

f(c) = 80w² + 50wh

since we need only 1 variable (width), we have to substitute h:

h = 18/w²

f(c) = 80w² + 50w(18/w²) = 80w² + 900/w

f'(c) = 160w + 900/w²

0 = (160w³ + 900)/w²

0 = 160w³ + 900

0 = 20(8w³ + 45)

0 = 8w³ + 45

8w³ = -45

w³ = -45/8

w = ∛-45/8 = -1.77845 and 1.77845

since w cannot be negative, then it must be 1.77845
