Answer:
The dimensions that minimize the cost of materials for the cylinders have radii of about 3.628 cm and heights of about 7.256 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
A cylindrical can holds 300 cubic centimeters, and we want to find the dimensions that minimize the cost for materials: that is, the dimensions that minimize the surface area.
Recall that the volume for a cylinder is given by:

Substitute:

Solve for <em>h: </em>

Recall that the surface area of a cylinder is given by:

We want to minimize this equation. To do so, we can find its critical points, since extrema (minima and maxima) occur at critical points.
First, substitute for <em>h</em>.

Find its derivative:

Solve for its zero(s):
![\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (0) &= 4\pi r - \frac{600}{r^2} \\ \\ 4\pi r - \frac{600}{r^2} &= 0 \\ \\ 4\pi r^3 - 600 &= 0 \\ \\ \pi r^3 &= 150 \\ \\ r &= \sqrt[3]{\frac{150}{\pi}} \approx 3.628\text{ cm}\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%20%280%29%20%26%3D%204%5Cpi%20r%20%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B600%7D%7Br%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%204%5Cpi%20r%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B600%7D%7Br%5E2%7D%20%26%3D%200%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%204%5Cpi%20r%5E3%20-%20600%20%26%3D%200%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20%5Cpi%20r%5E3%20%26%3D%20150%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20r%20%26%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B150%7D%7B%5Cpi%7D%7D%20%5Capprox%203.628%5Ctext%7B%20cm%7D%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
Hence, the radius that minimizes the surface area will be about 3.628 centimeters.
Then the height will be:
![\displaystyle \begin{aligned} h&= \frac{300}{\pi\left( \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{150}{\pi}}\right)^2} \\ \\ &= \frac{60}{\pi \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{180}{\pi^2}}}\approx 7.25 6\text{ cm} \end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%20%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%20h%26%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B300%7D%7B%5Cpi%5Cleft%28%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cdfrac%7B150%7D%7B%5Cpi%7D%7D%5Cright%29%5E2%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20%26%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B60%7D%7B%5Cpi%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cdfrac%7B180%7D%7B%5Cpi%5E2%7D%7D%7D%5Capprox%207.25%206%5Ctext%7B%20cm%7D%20%20%20%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
In conclusion, the dimensions that minimize the cost of materials for the cylinders have radii of about 3.628 cm and heights of about 7.256 cm.
The distance between the center and any point on the circle is the radius. That's likely what your book or teacher is asking for.
Note: double the radius and you get the diameter
I think it’s 12
1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12
Hope it’s correct
Answer is j(x) everything else i think is incorrect.
Answer:
(x/2 , 17/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find a midpoint, you average the x's and average the y's. Average them by adding the x-coordinates and divide by 2. Same with the y's.
The x's are x for P1 and 0 for P2.
x+0 / 2
=x/2
This will be the x-coordinate of the midpoint. Then for the y, use 8 and 9, the y's.
8+9 / 2
= 17/2
This will be the y-coordinate of the midpoint.
The midpoint is:
(x/2 , 17/2)
You could also divide 17/2 and get 8.5 then the midpoint would be:
(x/2 , 8.5)
