Suppose you are given the task of constructing a soup can that holds 400mL of water (1 mL = 1 cm3 ). The material for the base a

nd lid of the can costs $.01/100cm2 , and the material for the side of the can costs $.02/100cm2 . (a) (6 pts) Find the dimensions of a can that would minimize the cost to produce it.

Answer:

Dimensions:

r = ~^3\sqrt{\frac{400}{\pi}}

h = ~^3\sqrt{\frac{400}{\pi}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is given by  

\text{Volume of cylinder} = \pi r^2h = 400~cm^3\\\\h = \displaystyle\frac{400}{\pi r^2}

where r is the radius of can and h is the height of the can.

Area of lid and base = \pi r^2 + \pi r^2 = 2\pi r^2

Area of curved surface = 2\pi rh

Cost function :

C(r) = \displaystyle\frac{0.01}{100}2\pi r^2 + \frac{0.02}{100}2\pi rh\\\\= \frac{0.02}{100}\pi r^2 + \frac{0.04}{100}\pi r \frac{400}{\pi r^2}\\\\= \frac{0.02}{100}\pi r^2 + \frac{0.16}{r}

First, we differentiate C(r) with respect to r, to get,

\displaystyle\frac{d(C(r))}{dr} = \displaystyle\frac{0.04}{100}\pi r - \frac{0.16}{r^2}

Equating the first derivative to zero, we get,

\displaystyle\frac{d(C(r))}{dr} = 0\\\\\frac{0.04}{100}\pi r - \frac{0.16}{r^2} = 0

Solving, we get,

\displaystyle\frac{0.04}{100}\pi r - \frac{0.16}{r^2} = 0\\\\\frac{0.04}{100}\pi r = \frac{0.16}{r^2}\\\\r^3 = \frac{0.16\times 100}{0.04\pi}\\\\r =~^3\sqrt{\frac{400}{\pi}} = \bigg(\frac{400}{\pi}\bigg)^{\frac{1}{3}}

Again differentiation C(r), with respect to r, we get,

\displaystyle\frac{d^2(C(r))}{dr^2} =\displaystyle\frac{0.04}{100}\pi+\frac{0.32}{r^3}

At r = \bigg(\displaystyle\frac{400}{\pi}\bigg)^{\frac{1}{3}},

\displaystyle\frac{d^2(C(r))}{dr^2} > 0

Thus, by double derivative test, the minima occurs for C(r) at  r = \bigg(\displaystyle\frac{400}{\pi}\bigg)^{\frac{1}{3}}.

Dimensions:

r = \bigg(\displaystyle\frac{400}{\pi}\bigg)^{\frac{1}{3}}

h = \displaystyle\frac{400}{\pi r^2}\\\\h = \frac{400}{\pi (\frac{400}{\pi})^{\frac{2}{3}}} = ~^3\sqrt{\frac{400}{\pi}}

What's the answer to this question and how do I solve it?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

80 gummy bears are in 4 servings.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 servings=40 gummy bears

3 servings=60 gummy bears

<u>40</u>+20=<u>60</u>

Add 20 gummy bears for every serving.

5 servings=100 gummy bears

100-20=<u>80 gummy bears are in 4 servings</u>



OR you can also do:

40÷2=20 gummy bears are in each serving

So, 4x20=<u>80 gummy bears are in 4 servings</u>

Please help me with these questions.

4. k less than 3.5, so a number k is being taken away from 3.5:
The answer is 3.5-k

5. the sum of g and h, reduced by 11, so you need a set of parentheses to write this one: (g+h)-11

6. 5 less than y, plus g, so do a combination of the strategies used in the previous two problems and you will get: (y-5)+g

7. 5 less than the sum of y and g, you are taking away 5 from the sum of two numbers, y and g, so: (y+g)-5

Hope this helps :-)

Which table shows y as DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to x
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Table B

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

<em>Verify table B</em>

For x=1, y=1/2 -----> k=y/x=(1/2)/1=1/2

For x=2, y=1 -----> k=y/x=1/2

For x=3, y=3/2 -----> k=y/x=(3/2)/3=1/2

For x=4, y=2 -----> k=y/x=2/4=1/2

The values of k are the same

therefore

The table B shows y as DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to x

<em>Verify table D</em>

For x=1, y=3 -----> k=y/x=3/1=3

For x=2, y=5 -----> k=y/x=5/2=2.5

For x=3, y=7 -----> k=y/x=7/3

For x=4, y=9 -----> k=y/x=9/4

the values of k are different

therefore

The table D not shows y as DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to x
