Answer:

  radius = height ≈ 8.88 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the weight is proportional to the surface area, then we need to find the minimum surface area for the given volume.

The volume of the can is given by ...

  V = πr²h . . . . . . for radius r and height h

The surface area includes that of the bottom and the sides:

  SA = πr² +2πrh

Solving the first equation for h, we can write the second equation as ...

  SA = πr² +2πr(V/(πr²)) = πr² +2V/r

__

The minimum area for the volume will be found where the derivative is zero.

  d(SA)/dr = 2πr -2V/r² = 0

  πr³ = V . . . . . multiply by r²/2 and add V

Then the can radius is ...

  r = ∛(V/π)

and the height is ...

  h = V/(π(V/π)^(2/3)) = ∛(V/π) = r

__

For the given volume, the dimensions are ...

  r = h = ∛(2197/π) ≈ 8.8762 cm

The lightest can with that volume has a radius and height of about 8.88 cm.

_____

<em>Comment on cylinder aspect ratio</em>

You may notice that the lateral area is equal to twice the bottom area for this cylinder. If the can had a top, the minimum weight would be such that the lateral area is twice the total of top and bottom area. In that case, the height is equal to the diameter, not the radius.

According to the synthetic division below, which of the following statements are true?
statuscvo [17]

A, D and E are correct

given ( x - 4 ) is a factor then x =  4 is a root

the remainder on division by (x - 4 ) = 0 as indicated by the 0 on the right side of the quotient

(x - 4 ) is a factor of 3x² - 13x + 4 → A

the number 4is a root of f(x) = 3x² - 13x + 4 → D ( explained above )

thus 3x² - 13x + 4 ÷ (x - 4 ) = 3x - 1 → E

the quotient line 3 - 1 0

3 and - 1 are the coefficients of the linear quotient and 0 is the remainder

Simplify the expression 4x^3/28x^4
KIM [24]
1/7x

Factorize the numbers (4 and 28) as they have a common factor of 4 so you can simplify it to 1/7. Cancel out the 3 in the x (numerator) from the denominator and you will have x^1 remaining in the denominator. That is also the same as x, therefore making it 1/(7x)

Urgent help needed w/ right triangle trig
shusha [124]

Since this is a right triangle, you can use the main trig functions sin, cos, and tan. We must use sin for this problem because sin= opp/hyp. Plug in the numbers to this function. Sin (53) = a/25. Thus when you cross multiply, you get a= sin (53) x 25. When you plug it into a calculator the answer should come out to 19.97
