Question 10: (10 points)
A company wishes to produce a rectangular box with volume \(1\mathrm{~m}^{3}\). Suppose that the length, breadth and height in meters of the box are given by \( x, y \) and \( z \) respectively, and that the cost of materials is \(4\) per \( m^{2}\) for the bottom and 3 per \( m^{2}\) for the sides. The cost for the top with dimension \( x \) and \( y \) can be neglected (i.e., it is assumed to be \(0\)). Express the cost of the box as a function \( C(x, y)\) of the variables x and y only.
\[
C(x, y)=
\]
Find the dimensions that minimise the cost.
The optimal dimensions are \((x, y, z)=(\)
Preferably leave your answer in terms of fractions, roots and powers. If you must evaluate it then you must give your answer with 3 digits after the decimal point.
