OPTIMIZATION HANDOUT 1. An open box is to be made from a 16 in. by 30 in. piece of cardboard by cutting out squares of equal size from the four corners and bending up the sides. What size should the squares be to obtain a box with largest possible volume? 2. An offshore oil well is located in the ocean at a point W, which is 5 miles from the closest point on shore, A, on a straight shoreline. The oil is to be piped to a point on shore, B, that is 8 miles from A by piping it on a straight line underwater from W to some point on shore, P, between A and B and then on to B via a pipe along the shoreline. If the cost of laying pipe is $100,000 per mile underwater and $75,000 per mile over land, where should the point P be located to minimize cost?
