A shipping crate has a square base with sides of length x feet, and it is half as tall as it is wide. If the material for the bottom and sides of the box costs $2.00 per square foot and the material for the top costs $2.50 per square foot, express the total cost of material for the box as a function of x.

A rectangular box with volume $320 \mathrm{ft}^{3}$ is built with a square base and top. The cost is $\$ 1.50 / \mathrm{ft}^{2}$ for the bottom, $\$ 2.50 / \mathrm{ft}^{2}$ for the sides, and $\$ 1 / \mathrm{ft}^{2}$ for the top. Let $x=$ the length of the base, in feet. (FIGURE CAN NOT COPY) a) Express the cost of the box as a function of $x .$ b) Find the domain of the function. c) Graph the function with a graphing calculator. d) What dimensions minimize the cost of the box?

00:01 Hello, so here we're giving the polynomial function here, c of x, which is going to be equal to 6x squared, and then plus 90x.
00:13 So this function here is going to give the cost in dollars of producing a rectangular container who's top and bottom or squares with side -lating with x and height 6 feet.
00:23 So if the cost of producing a box with x equals 4 feet, that's just finding, again, c of 4, which going to be equal to 6 times 4 squared plus this again is 90 times this should be 90 x so times so plus 90 times 4 so what this is so 4 squared is 16 and 16 times 4 is 16 times 4 is 64 uh yeah so so this should be six times, four squared is 16.
01:10 And we get, so six times 16.
01:12 So six times 16.
01:14 Again, that's 96...
