Calculus problem...please help!
Here is a picture of the problem: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Phio/23.jpg"
A = xy = 780
cost = 8x+2y
c = 8x + (1560/x)
c'= 8 - ( 1560/(x^2) )
0 = 8 - ( 1560/(x^2) )
x^2 = 195
x= \sqrt{195}
x = 13.96 = 14
I don't know what to do from here...I still can't figure out what the answer is. I think it must be either B or D.
Please help...thank you!
