This activity is an application of differentiation. Students use calculus to find the ideal dimensions of a common item - a soda can. They set up the problem and express the function in terms of one variable. They then use the symbolic capacity of their calculator and calculus to determine the dimensions of the can which has the least cost. Full Review »
