PIC

You are to build a box with a square base and no top.

The box must hold a volume of 100 cm.

A picture of the box is provided below. You must add labels (i.e. variables in place of , and ) for the dimensions of the box. You will use these labels throughout the problem. PIC

Label each side of the box with a variable (i.e. , , etc.). Remember that the box has a square base.
Complete the equation for the volume of the box using the labels provided in your picture:
Complete the equation for the surface area of the box using the labels you provided:
Using calculus, find the dimensions of the box that require the least material for the five sides. Support your work by using second derivative test.
Justification: Provide a 1-2 sentence explanation justifying why your solution is the optimal solution (i.e. why it is the absolute minimum). Be sure to discuss the domain and endpoints.
(Note that this question cannot be validated in this system.)

Indicate whether each of the following statements is True or False.

If the statement is true, explain how you know it’s true.

If it is false, give a counterexample and explain why it is a counterexample. (A counterexample is an example of a function for which the ‘‘if’’ part of the statement is true, but the ‘‘then’’ part is false.) A graph with an explanation can be used as a counterexample.

The function is continuous and positive on . If is approximated with rectangles of equal size, then right endpoints will provide an estimate that is larger than the estimate provided using left endpoints.
True. False.
If a function, , is continuous and increasing on , then .
True. False.

Evaluate the following integrals.
