1. Optimization is a term we use a lot in calculus, but what does it mean? Define optimization, tell what it means. Then, talk about how we can use calculus to find the optimization. And finally, find a real world example of where optimization is used. Don't forget to site your sources and be detailed in your explanation. Please don't give a generic answer but give a well researched answer.

2. We are going to optimize the volume of the box below without a lid. Choose 1 set of a & b values from this list:

1) a=3 & b=7

2) a=2 & b=10

3) a=5 & b=8

4) a=4 & b=11

Set up the function for Volume of the box using the values that you chose from the above list.
