- A gutter is to be made from metal sheet where the length of the two of the two sides of the gutter is 4cm and the third side is 5cm. How do you find an angle so that the gutter will carry the maximum amount of water?
- A rectangular box is to be inscribed inside the ellipsoid #2x^2 +y^2+4z^2 = 12#. How do you find the largest possible volume for the box?
- A company can sell 5000 chocolate bars a month at $0.50 each. If they raise the price to $0.70, sales drop to 4000 bars per month. The company has fixed costs of $1000 per month and $0.25 for manufacturing each bar. What price will maximize the profit?
