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

Hello, happy Friday, I am just here with some geometry questions.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

VW = 43.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can see that VZ = 88 - 55 = 33.

Then by the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, we can write that:

\displaystyle \frac{55}{33}=\frac{72}{VW}

Simplify:

\displaystyle \frac{5}{3}=\frac{72}{VW}

Cross-multiply:

216=5VW

So:

\displaystyle V=\frac{216}{5}=43.2

The graph shows the heights, y (in centimeters), of a plant after a certain number of weeks, x. Donna drew the line of best fit
Nezavi [6.7K]

Using the given linear function of best-fit, the most likely approximate height of the plant after 8 weeks would be of 7.4 centimeters.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The line of best-fit goes through points (0,1) and (5,5). Point (0,1) means that the y-intercept is of b = 1. The slope is given as follows:

m = (5 - 1)/(5 - 0) = 4/5 = 0.8.

Hence the equation that gives the approximate height after x weeks is:

y = 0.8x + 1.

After 8 weeks, the expected height is:

y = 0.8 x 8 + 1 = 6.4 + 1 = 7.4 centimeters.

Bob is going to China, and he wants to bring some DVDs on the airplane. If Bob has a collection of 15 DVDs, in how many ways can
Ksju [112]
There would be "five ways" to bring three DVD's. If you divide fifteen by three there would be five. 

15/3=5&#10;&#10;&#10;

To prove your work:

3 * 5 = 15

Hope this helps!
