The length ℓ, width w, and height h of a box change with time. At a certain instant the dimensions are ℓ = 4 m and w = h = 1 m, and ℓ and w are increasing at a rate of 8 m/s while h is decreasing at a rate of 2 m/s. At that instant find the rates at which the following quantities are changing. (a) The volume. (b) The surface area. (c) The length of a diagonal....

A rectangular box with a square base and an open top and a volume of 1ft^3 is to be made. Suppose the material used to build the sides cost $4 per ft^2 and the material used to build the bottom costs $1 per ft^2. Determine the dimensions (i.e. the side-length of the base and the height) of the box that will minimize the cost to build the box. Note: if we let x denote the side-length of the base and...
