Given the following equation:

We will find the real solutions to the equation by graphing.
We will rewrite the given equation as follows:

The graph of the function will be as shown in the following figure:
As shown the function has 3 real solutions which are the x-intercepts
So, the answer will be:
Given:
Radius of a cylinder = 5 units.
Surface area of the cylinder = 
To find:
The height of the right cylinder.
Solution:
Surface area of a cylinder is:

Where, r is radius and h is the height of the cylinder.
Putting
in the above formula, we get



Subtract
from both sides.


Divide both sides by
.


Therefore, the height of the cylinder is 11 units.
The requested equation is
C(m) = 7.50 + 0.25*m,
where C(m) is the total cost (in dollars) for "m" miles.
