A rectangular box is to have a square base and a volume of 20 ft3. The material for the base costs $0.30 per ft2, the material for the sides cost $0.10 per ft2, and the material for the top costs $0.20 per ft2. Letting a denote the length of one side of the base, find a function in the variable x giving the cost of constructing the box. 6. Given the following graph f(x).arrow_forward8.
