Objective equationminimize x^2+4.h.x
constraint equationx.x.h=32

x^2.h=32
1(b)
surface area=x^2+4.h.x
h=32/x^2 from constraint equation
sub. h=32/x^2 into equation for surface area
surface area=x^2+4.(32/x^2).x1(c)
setting d(surface area)/dx=0,
x=
h=32/x^2=

Number of cars = a+ b*(toll rate)
36,000 = a + (-300)*(100) [$1=100 cents]

a=66,000
Number of cars = 66,000 - 300 * (toll rate)
Revenue = Number of cars * toll rate

Revenue = [66,000 - 300*(toll rate)] * toll rate
setting d(revenue)/d(toll rate)=0,
optimal toll rate=

this question zere is not very clear in its wording. however
i take it to mean average number of books in storage = 400,000/number of production runs .
Let x = number of production runs
total cost = setting up costs + carrying costs = 1000*x + 400,000/x
setting d(total cost)/dx = 0

x=

zere i am not sure abut the meaning of ze question. not very clear question. nevertheless
HEIL SIEGE! HEIL FUHRER!!!
i dunno if have any calculation errors anot, you check lah.
