Challenging optimization
發問:
A cuboid has total surface area of A. Find mathematically (not only state) the dimension of the cuboid so that its volume is a maximum and the corresponding volume. 更新: myisland8132, your calculation does not end. Although you are calculated that x = y = z, it does not immediately mean that x = y = z is a maximum. It may be maximum, minimum or stationary. You should do some checking to show that x = y = z is a maximum.

最佳解答:
正如maximal_ideal_space所講，可以用AM>=GM黎做如下： Let the length, width, height be x, y, z respectively. First we know that A = 2[xy+yz+zx] and V = xyz we want to maximise V when A is fixed. Thus applying the AM>=GM, we get A / 2 = xy+yz+zx >= 3 [xy*yz*zx]^{1/3} = 3 [xyz]^{2/3} = 3 V^{2/3} Thus we have V
