Suppose a box with a square base and closed top and bottom is to have a volume of 8 cubic meters. What dimensions of the box will minimize the surface area of the box?
Solution. Let \( x \) be the length of one side of the square base and \( y \) be the height of the box. Then the volume and surface area of the box are\n\n\[ V = {x}^{2}y\;S = 2{x}^{2} + {4xy} \]\n\nBecause \( V \) is specified to be 8 cubic meters\n\n\[ 8 = {x}^{2}y\;\text{ so that }\;y = \frac{8}{{x}^{2}} \]\n\nWe s...

Of all cans of volume equal to 1 , which has the smallest surface area?
Assume that the 'can' (cylinder) in Example Figure 8.2.3.3 has volume equal to 1. The area of the top end of the can is \( \pi {r}^{2} \) and the circumference of the top lid is \( {2\pi r} \) . The volume, \( V \), of the can is\n\n\[ V = \pi {r}^{2}h \]\n\nand the surface area, \( S \), of the can is\n\n\[ S = {2\pi ...

Snell's Law When you see a fish in a lake it typically is below where it appears to be. A spear, arrow, bullet, rock or other projectile launched toward the image of the fish that you see will pass above the fish. The different speeds of light in air and in water cause the light beam traveling from the fish to your eye...
Pierre Fermat asserted in 1662 that the path of the light beam will be that path that minimizes the total time of travel in the two media. The speed of light in water, \( {v}_{2} \), is about 0.75 times the speed of light in air, \( {v}_{1} \) . Suppose \( d \) is the horizontal distance between your eye and the fish, ...

A 10 meter ladder leans against a wall. The foot of the ladder slips horizontally at the rate of 1 meter per minute. At what rate does the top of the ladder descend when the top is 6 meters from the ground?
Draw a picture. See Figure 8.4.1.1. Let \( x \) be the distance from the wall to the foot of the ladder and let \( y \) be the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder. We are asked to find \( {y}^{\prime } \)\n\nat a certain instant. Because the top of the ladder is descending, we expect our answer \( \left( ...

Solve \( x{e}^{-x} = a \) for \( a = {0.2} \) and \( a = 2 \) .
Graphs help explore the problem. Shown in Figure 8.10A is a graph of \( y = x{e}^{-x} \) . It is apparent that the highest point of the graph has \( y \) -coordinate about \( y = {0.37} \) . We are relieved of solving \( x{e}^{-x} = 2 \) ; there is no solution. The dashed line at \( y = {0.2} \) does intersect the grap...

Property 9.5.1 Linearity of the integral. Suppose \( f \) and \( g \) are integrable functions defined on an interval \( \left\lbrack {a, b}\right\rbrack \) and \( c \) is a number.

For example, a ball thrown vertically may have a positive velocity as it ascends, but will then have a negative velocity as it descends. If one throws the ball with a vertical velocity of \( {19.6}\mathrm{\;m}/\mathrm{s} \), then the velocity \( t \) seconds later will be \( {19.6} - {9.8}\mathrm{\;{tm}}/\mathrm{s} \) ...
At \( t = 2 \) seconds the velocity is zero, the ball is at its maximum height, and that height is the area of the triangle marked ’ + ’ in Figure 9.16. Between \( t = 2 \) and \( t = 4 \) seconds the velocity is negative, the motion of the ball is downward and the displacement is the area of the triangle marked ’-’ in...
