The volume of the largest rectangular box is to be determined based on the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes, and one vertex in the plane x+3y+5z=15.
The volume of the rectangular box that lies in the first octant based on the three faces that lies in the coordinate plane as follows,
V=f(x,y)=xyz
The vertex get lies in the plane as below,
x+3y+5z=15
5z=15x3y
z=15x3y5
The volume is determined as below,
V=f(x,y)=15xy(15x3y)=3xyx2y53xy25
The Volume will be maximum if fx=fy=0
As f(x)=3y25xy35y2=15y(152x3y)=0
y=0, y=152x3 (1)
And
fy=3xx256xy5=15x(15x6y)=0
x=0 and substituting y=0
x=15
At y=152x3
fy=0
15x(15x6152x3)=0
x=0,15x30+4x=0
3x=15
x=5
y=15203=153
At x=0
y=5
And at x=5, y=53
The Critical point are (0,0),(15,0),(0,5),(5,53) and z
At (5,53)isz=15x3y5
z=15555
z=1
The Volume of the longest rectangular box is determined as below,
553=253
Hence, the volume is 253
