base is 2x, and x metres respectively. The height is h metres. The material used to
manufacture the base of this container costs R200 per square metre and for the sides,
R120 per square metre.

8.1      Express h in terms of x.                                                                    (2)

8.2      Show that the cost , C, of the material is given by:

         C(x) = 400x2 + 360x–1                                                                       (3)

8.3      Calculate the value of x for which the cost of the material will be a minimum and
         hence the minimum cost of the material.                                                     (5)
