Given that the surface area is a minimum, find the value of $x$.

\n

$S'(x)=$ [[1]]

\n

Therefore,

\n

$x=$ [[0]]     (give your answer to 2 decimal places)

\n

Check this is a minimum.

\n

$S''(x)=$ [[2]]

\n

Substitute your value for $x$ into $S''(x)$ and determine whether is it a minimum.

\n

Type '$Y$' for yes, '$N$' for no, or '$U$' for undefined.

\n

[[3]]

\n

\n

Hence, the minimum area of metal used is

\n

$A_{min}=$ [[4]]     (give your answer to 2 decimal places)
