Volume function: v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi)
Since the perimeter of the piece of sheet metal is 36, the height of the tube created will be 36/2 - x = 18-x.
The volume of the tube will be the area of the cross section multiplied by the height. The area of the cross section will be pi r^2 and r will be (x-1)/(2pi). So the volume of the tube is
v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)/(2pi))^2
v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)^2/(4pi^2))
v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi)
The maximum volume will happen when the value of the first derivative is zero. So calculate the first derivative:
v'(x) = (x-1)(3x - 37) / (4pi)
Convert to quadratic equation.
(3x^2 - 40x + 37)/(4pi) = 0
3/(4pi)x^2 - (10/pi)x + 37/(4pi) = 0
Now calculate the roots using the quadratic formula with a = 3/(4pi), b = -10/pi, and c = 37/(4pi)
The roots occur at x = 1 and x = 12 1/3. There are the points where the slope of the volume equation is zero. The root of 1 happens just as the volume of the tube is 0. So the root of 12 1/3 is the value you want where the volume of the tube is maximized. So the answer to the nearest tenth is 12.3</span>
Answer: Just apply the formula
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for volume of a cone is:
The radius is the line that creates a 90 degree angle with the height
The height goes from the base to the tip of the cone.
I recommend leaving Pi as it is and plugging the rest of the numbers first.
Then at the end multiply by 3.14 and round at the end.
This way, it is easier to avoid calculation errors.
6 divides into 78 which gives a quotient of 13.
Hope i'm the brainliest!
I’m hoping you are talking about:
Factor -1/2 out of -1/2x + 6
If so then the answer is
-1/2(x-3)
