A metal cylinder can with an open top and closed bottom is to have volume 4 cubic feet. Approximate the dimensions that require

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

$r\approx 1.084\ feet$

$h\approx 1.084\ feet$

$\displaystyle A=11.07\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Optimizing With Derivatives </u>

The procedure to optimize a function (find its maximum or minimum) consists in :

Produce a function which depends on only one variable
Compute the first derivative and set it equal to 0
Find the values for the variable, called critical points
Compute the second derivative
Evaluate the second derivative in the critical points. If it results positive, the critical point is a minimum, if it's negative, the critical point is a maximum

We know a cylinder has a volume of 4 $ft^3$ . The volume of a cylinder is given by

$\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h$

Equating it to 4

$\displaystyle \pi r^2h=4$

Let's solve for h

$\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi r^2}$

A cylinder with an open-top has only one circle as the shape of the lid and has a lateral area computed as a rectangle of height h and base equal to the length of a circle. Thus, the total area of the material to make the cylinder is

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Replacing the formula of h

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi r \left (\frac{4}{\pi r^2}\right )$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+\frac{8}{r}$

We have the function of the area in terms of one variable. Now we compute the first derivative and equal it to zero

$\displaystyle A'=2\pi r-\frac{8}{r^2}=0$

Rearranging

$\displaystyle 2\pi r=\frac{8}{r^2}$

Solving for r

$\displaystyle r^3=\frac{4}{\pi }$

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4}{\pi }}\approx 1.084\ feet$

Computing h

$\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi \ r^2}\approx 1.084\ feet$

We can see the height and the radius are of the same size. We check if the critical point is a maximum or a minimum by computing the second derivative

$\displaystyle A''=2\pi+\frac{16}{r^3}$

We can see it will be always positive regardless of the value of r (assumed positive too), so the critical point is a minimum.

The minimum area is

$\displaystyle A=\pi(1.084)^2+\frac{8}{1.084}$

$\boxed{ A=11.07\ ft^2}$

In which quadrant is ( 5,4 ) is located<br>this is hw and i wanna get a good grade plz helpp!!!!

Andre45 [30]

(5,4)

On a system of 2 perpendicular axis with O as origine, the pair (5,4) means:

5 is the distance from the origin O and situated on x-axis (on the right of O)
4 is the distance from the origin O and situated on y-axis (above O)

Then the pair (5,4) is situated in the 1st Quadrant

What is the difference between squaring and taking the square root ?

wel

Answer:

Squares are the numbers, generated after multiplying a value by itself. Whereas square root of a number is value which on getting multiplied by itself gives the original value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hence, both are vice-versa methods. For example, the square of 2 is 4 and the square root of 4 is 2.

Last year, the numbers of skateboards produced per day at a certain factory were normally distributed with a mean of 20,500 skat

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

This can be solved by using the empirical rule for a normal distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The number of skateboards given is one standard deviation above the mean. Approximately 68% of the data points lie within the range plus and minus one standard deviation of the mean. Therefore the required percentage is:

68 + 16 = 84%.

B. The given number of skateboards is two standard deviations above the mean. Approximately 95% of the data points lie within the range plus and minus two standard deviations of the mean. Therefore the required percentage is:

5/2 = 2.5%

C.The given number of skateboards is one standard deviations below the mean. Therefore the required percentage is:

16%.
