help Calculus!
got this question, and i need help. lost it lol. this is the sort of question i have to do for me assignment. Help in going through it
Hot metal storage tank: is rectangle with a square cross section
total surface area is: A=xSquared(4n+2) The Volume is:V=nxcubed
Too maximise effeciency by minimising heat loss through the surface, the tank needs to be designed for a maximum volume for any given surface area.
by eliminating (n) between the two equations, show that for this shape, the volume is maximum (dV/dx=0) when the total surface area A is 6x. Calculate the value of n for this maximum volume and hence calculate the maximum voume of the tank with a total surface area of 24m
i have the question on sheet if u would like to read it properly cheers for any help
