What is the volume of the can below? Use Pi = 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest tenth. A cylinder with height 96 millime
2 answers:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The can in this problem has a cylindrical shape. The volume of a cylinder can be calculated with the following formula:
where
r is the radius of the base of the cylinder
h is the height of the cylinder
In this problem we have:
h = 96 mm is the height of the can
d = 66 mm is the diameter of the can
So the radius of its base is
And therefore, the volume of the can is:

First, we are going to find the vertex of our quadratic. Remember that to find the vertex 
of a quadratic equation of the form 
, we use the vertex formula 
, and then, we evaluate our equation at 
to find 
.
We now from our quadratic that
and 
, so lets use our formula:
Now we can evaluate our quadratic at 8 to find:
So the vertex of our function is (8,-72)
Next, we are going to use the vertex to rewrite our quadratic equation:
The x-coordinate of the minimum will be the x-coordinate of the vertex; in other words: 8.
We can conclude that:
The rewritten equation is
The x-coordinate of the minimum is 8
We now from our quadratic that
