Answer:

The cost of the can is minimal when r=2 m and h=5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an optimization problem which will be solved by the use of derivatives

We must find an expression for the total cost of the cylindrical can and then find its dimensions to make the cost minimal

Let's picture a cylinder of radius r and height h. Its volume is computed as

V=\pi r^2h

To make the lids we need two circle-shaped pieces of a material which costs $10 per square meter

The area of each lid is

A_l=\pi r^2

The cost of both lids will be

C_l=(2)(10)(\pi r^2)=20\pi r^2

The lateral side of the cylinder can be constructed with a rectangle of material which costs $8 per square meter

The rectangle has a height of h and a width equal to the length of the circumference

A_s=2\pi rh

The cost of the side of the cylinder will be

C_s=16\pi rh

The total cost of the can is

C=20\pi r^2+16\pi rh

We know the volume of the can is 20\pi cubic meters

V=\pi r^2h=20\pi

Isolating h we have

h=\frac{20}{r^2}

Using this value into the total cost

C=20\pi r^2+16\pi r(\frac{20}{r^2})

C=20\pi r^2+\frac{320\pi}{r}

Differentiating with respect to r

C'=40\pi r-\frac{320\pi}{r^2}

To find the critical point, we must set C'=0

40\pi r-\frac{320\pi}{r^2}=0

Operating

40\pi r^3-320\pi=0

Solving for r

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{320\pi}{40\pi}}=\sqrt[3]{8}

r=2

And since  

h=\frac{20}{r^2}=\frac{20}{2^2}

h=5

Differentiating again we find

C''=40\pi +\frac{640\pi}{r^3}

Which is always positive for r positive. It makes the critical point found a minimum

The cost of the can is minimal when r=2 m and h=5 m

Sphinxa [80]

3y + 5x = -15

3y = -5x - 15 (Subtract 5x from both sides)

y = -5/3x - 5 (Divide everything by 3)

Genrish500 [490]
A) the posible roots of the function f(x)=x⁴-3x³-5x²+21x+22 are: 
=-1,+1,-2,+2,-11,+11,-22+22.

b)
one zero of the funtion can be: x=-1 ⇒y=0   (-1,0)

c)
other zero of the funtion is: x=-2 ⇒y=0  (-2,0)

d)
if x=0 then y=22   (0,22)
