He needs no fence along the river. What are the dimensions of the field that has the largest area?

EX 2: A cylindrical can is to be made to hold 1L of oil. Find the dimensions that will minimize the cost of the metal to manufacture the can.

EX 3: Find the point on the parabola y2 = 2x that is closest to the point (1, 4).

EX 4: Find the largest rectangle that can be inscribed in a semicircle of radius 4.

1. What are the dimensions of an aluminum can that holds 40 in3 of juice and uses the least material? Assume that the can is cylindrical, and is capped on both ends.

2. A cylindrical can, open at the top, is to hold 500 cm3 of liquid. Find the height and radius that will minimize the amount of material needed to manufacture the can.

3. An open glass fish tank is to be constructed to hold 72 cubic feet of water. Its base and sides are to be rectangular. It is to be constructed so that its width is 5 feet, but its length and depth are variable. Building the tank costs $10 per square foot for the base and $5 per square foot for the sides. What are the dimensions of the tank that will result in the least expensive tank?

4. A tank with rectangular base and rectangular sides is to be open at the top. It is to be constructed so that its width is 4 meters and its volume is 36 cubic meters. If building the tank costs $10 per square meters for the base and $5 per square meter for the sides, what is the cost of the least expensive tank?

5. Find the coordinates of the point on the parabola y = x2 which is closest to the point (3,0).

6. Find the point on the graph of y = x3 that is closest to the point (4, 0).

7. Find all points on the curve x2 y2 = 1 closest to (0, 2).

8. A rectangular field is to be bounded by a fence on three sides and by a straight stream on the fourth side. Find the dimensions of the field with maximum area that can be enclosed with 1000 feet of fence.
