An aquarium is to be built to hold 60 m3of volume. The base is to be made of slate and the sides aremade of glass, and it has no top. If stone costs $120/m2and glass costs $30/m2, find the dimensions which willminimize the cost of building the aquarium, and find the minimum cost.

Aquarium dimensions:

x = 3,106 m

h = 6,22 m

C(min) = 1277,62 $

Step-by-step explanation: (INCOMPLETE QUESTION)

We have to assume:

The shape of the aquarium  (square base)

Let´s call "x" the side of the base, then h ( the heigh)

V(a) = x²*h          h = V(a)/x²      

Cost of Aquarium   C(a) = cost of the base (in stones) + 4* cost of one side (in glass)

C(a) = Area of the base *120 + 4*Area of one side*30

Area of the base is x²

Area of one side  is   x*h   or  x*V(a)/x²  

Area of one side is V(a)/x

C(x) = 120*x² + 4*30*60/x

C(x) = 120*x² +  7200/x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get

C´(x) = 2*120*x  - 7200/x²

C´(x) = 0 means    240 *x  - 7200/x² = 0

240*x³ - 7200 = 0

x³ = 7200/240

x = 3,106 m   and  h = 60 /x²     h =   6,22 m

and C (min) = 120*(3,106)³ - 7200 / 3,106

C(min) =  3595,72 - 2318,1

C(min) = 1277,62

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13

the answer is. -82562234434584
