7. A closed rectangular tank is to have dimensions x m, 2x m and y m, and is to have
a capacity of 9 cubic metres. To keep costs down the surface area of the tank is to
be as small as possible.
(i) Write down expressions for the volume and the surface area of the tank in
terms of x and y, and hence find an expression for A in terms of x only. [3]
(ii) Find the value of x for which A has a stationary point, and show that this is a
minimum point.
[4]
(iii) Find the dimensions of the tank for which A is as small as possible, and the
corresponding value of A.
