For example, companies often want to minimize production costs or maximize revenue. In manufacturing, it is often desirable to minimize the amount of material used to package a product with a certain volume. In this section, we show how to set up these types of minimization and maximization problems and solve them by using the tools developed in this chapter.

Suppose the cost of the material for the base is \(20¢/in.^2\) and the cost of the material for the sides is \(30¢/in.^2\) and we are trying to minimize the cost of this box. Write the cost as a function of the side lengths of the base. (Let \(x\) be the side length of the base and \(y\) be the height of the box.)

It explains setting up equations based on given constraints, finding critical points, and applying the first and second derivative tests to identify optimal solutions. Examples include problems in geometry, economics, and physics, illustrating practical uses of optimization.
