A microwaveable cup-of-soup package needs to be constructed in the shape of a cylinder to hold 600 cubic centimeters of soup. The sides and bottom of the container will be made of styrofoam costing 0.02 cents per square centimeter. The top will be made of glued paper, costing 0.05 cents per square centimeter. Find the dimensions for the package that will minimize production costs.

h: height of the cylinder, r: radius of the cylinder

The volume of a cylinder: V=Ï€r2h

Area of the sides: A=2Ï€rh

Area of the top/bottom: A=Ï€r2

The cost of packaging, C=2πrh*0.02+ πr^2*0.02+ πr^2*0.05 subject to the constraint πr^2h=600

C=πr(0.04h+.07r)  and the constraint implies h=600/ πr^2

So C=Ï€r(24/Ï€r^2+.07r)=24/r+.07Ï€r^2

C'=-24/r^2+0.14Ï€r=0

r^3=24/0.14π  r=3.79 cm

h=600/Ï€r^2=13.3 cm

C=Ï€*3.79*(0.04*13.3+.07*3.79)=9.48cents

C''=0.14Ï€+48/r^3>0 for all r>=0 so our solution is indeed a minimum.
