Case Study 2
37. A housing society wants to commission a swimming pool for its residents.
For this, they have to purchase a square piece of land and dig this to such
a depth that its capacity is 250 cubic metres. Cost of land is < 500 per
square metre. The cost of digging increases with the depth and cost for
the whole pool is < 4000 (depth)2.
Suppose the side of the square plot is x metres and depth is h metres.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions :
(i) Write cost C(h) as a function in terms of h. 1
(ii) Find critical point. 1
(iii) (a) Use second derivative test to find the value of h for which cost
of constructing the pool is minimum. What is the minimum
cost of construction of the pool ? 2
