The container design for the CPU is to be determined by marketing considerations and must be rectangular in shape. It must contain exactly 10 000 cm^3 of interior space, and the length must be twice the height. If the cost of the base is \$0.02/cm^2 , the cost of the side walls is \$0.05/cm^2, and the cost of the upper face is \$0.10/cm^2, find the dimensions to the nearest millimetre that will keep the cost of the container tot a minimum. Buy to View Q7 The landlord of a 50-unit apartment building is planning to increase the rent. Currently, residents pay$850 per month, and all the units are occupied. A real estate agency advises that every \$100 increase in rent will result in 10 vacant units. What rent should the landlord charge to maximize revenue?
