2 An open-topped rectangular box is to be manufactured with a fixed volume of \(1000 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\). The dimensions of the base of the box are \(x \mathrm {~cm}\) by \(y \mathrm {~cm}\). The surface area of the box is \(A \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }\).
- Show that \(\mathrm { A } = \mathrm { xy } + 2000 \left( \frac { 1 } { \mathrm { x } } + \frac { 1 } { \mathrm { y } } \right)\).
- Use partial differentiation to determine, in exact form, the values of \(x\) and \(y\) for which \(A\) has a stationary value.
- Find the stationary value of \(A\).
