Question

Find the objective function in the given problem (in terms of w) if the constraint is that the sum of length and width and height cannot exceed 108 in.

Airline regulations Suppose an airline policy states that all baggage
must be box-shaped with a sum of length, width, and height not exceeding 64 in. What are the dimensions and volume of a square-based box with the greatest volume under these conditions?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Note:

Please provide complete instructions for first problem.

Given 

The box has a sum of length, width, and height not  exceeding 64 in.

Step 2

Let

length of box = l

width of box = w

height of box = h

Base of box is square 

Hence, l=w

And

To find dimensions of box for maximum volume , 

Let's find critical points by equating
