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

The area of a triangle is found by multiplying half of the measure of its base by its height. The area of the following right tr
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

\sf Area\:of\:a\:triangle=\dfrac12 \times base \times height

Given:

  • area = 18 cm²
  • base = 6 cm
  • height = (h + 1) cm

Substitute the given values into the equation and solve for h:

\sf \implies 18 = \sf \dfrac12 \times 6 \times (h+1)

\sf \implies 18 = \sf \dfrac62 (h+1)

\sf \implies 18 =3(h+1)

expand using distributive property of addition a(b+c)=ab+ac:

\sf \implies 18=3h+3

subtract 3 from both sides:

\sf \implies 3h=15

divide both sides by 3:

\sf \implies h=5

<u>To verify</u>:

Half of the base is 3 cm.

If h=5, then the height of the triangle is 6 cm.

Multiplying 3 by 6 is 18.

This matches the given area, so we can verify that h = 5.

I need the answers for both a and b so thats why 61 points are up for grab
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

a). Triangle in the figure is ΔBCF

b). Since, L_1 and L_2 are the parallel lines and m is a transversal line,

   m∠FBC = m∠BFG [Alternate interior angles]

   Since,  L_1 and L_2 are the parallel lines and n is a transversal line,

   m∠BCF = m∠CFE [Alternate interior angles]

   By triangle sum theorem in ΔBCF

   m∠FBC + m∠BCF + m∠BFC = 180°

   From the properties given above,

   m∠BFG + m∠CFE + m∠BFC = 180°

   m∠GFE = 180°

Therefore, angle GFE is the straight angle that will be useful in proving that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the triangle is 180°.

Simplify 3(2m^3n^-2)^4
Effectus [21]

Answer:

(48 m^12)/n^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

3 ((2 m^3)/(n^2))^4

Multiply each exponent in (2 m^3)/(n^2) by 4:

3×2^4 m^(4×3) n^(-2×4)

4 (-2) = -8:

3×2^4 m^(4×3) n^(-8)

4×3 = 12:

(3×2^4 m^12)/(n^8)

2^4 = (2^2)^2:

(3 (2^2)^2 m^12)/(n^8)

2^2 = 4:

(3×4^2 m^12)/(n^8)

4^2 = 16:

(3×16 m^12)/(n^8)

3×16 = 48:

Answer: (48 m^12)/n^8
