The base of an aquarium with given volume V is made of slate and the sides are made of glass. If slate costs five times as much

(per unit area) as glass, find the dimensions of the aquarium that minimize the cost of the materials(Aquarium has rectangular base).

Answer:

x = ∛ 2*V/5  

y = ∛ 2*V/5

h  = V/ ∛ 4*V²/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the aquarium base is  x*y

We call c₁ cost per unit area of the sides, then cost per unit area of slate is equal 5c₁.

let call h the height of the aquarium then volume of the aquarium is:

V = x*y*h      where   h =  V / x*y

As the base is a rectangular one there are 2 sides x*h .  and 2 sides  y*h

According to this:

Ct (cost of aquarium )  = cost of the base  + cost of the sides

cₐ  ( cost of the base) = 5*c₁*x*y

c₆ (cost of the sides ) = c₁*2*x*h   +   c₁*2*y*h

C(t)  =  5*c₁*x*y +2* c₁*x* V/x*y  +  2* c₁*y* V/x*y    or

C(t)  =  5*c₁*x*y  + 2*c₁*V/y   *2*c₁* V/x

Taking partial derivatives en x and y we have:

C´(x)  =  5*c₁*y - 2*c₁*V/x²

C´(y)  =  5*c₁*x - 2*c₁*V/y²

C´(x)  = C´(y)        ⇒  5*c₁*y - 2*c₁*V/x²  =   5*c₁*x - 2*c₁*V/y²

or    5*y - 2*V/x²  =   5*x - 2*V/y²

(5*y*x² - 2*V)/x²  = ( 5*y²x - 2*V) /y²

(5*y*x² - 2*V)*y²  = ( 5*y²x - 2*V)*x²

5*y³*x² - 2*V*y²  =  5*y²x³  - 2*V*x²

5*y³*x² - 5*y²x³  =  2*V * ( y² - x²)

by symmetry  x =  y

Then using x = y  and plugging that value on the derivatives

C´(x) =  5*c₁*y - 2*c₁*V/x²

C´(x) =  5*c₁*x - 2*c₁*V/x²

C´(x) = 0          ⇒     5*c₁*x - 2*c₁*V/x²  = 0

5*x  - 2*V/x² = 0      ⇒  5*x³ - 2*V = 0   ⇒   5*x³  = 2*V  ⇒ x³ = 2*V/5

x = ∛ 2*V/5       and   y = ∛ 2*V/5    and   h  =  V/ x*y    h  = V/ ∛ 4*V²/25

The formula for the volume of a sphere is v= 4/3 m^3 what is the formula solved for r ?
Softa [21]

Answer:

            3V

r = ∛ ( ---------- )

            4π

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, enclose the fraction 4/3 inside parentheses, to eliminate any possibility of misreading this fraction.  Also note that this formula MUST include "pi," symbolized by π.

V = (4/3) π r³  This formula does NOT include "m," which is a unit of measurement, not a variable.

Our task is to solve this formula for the radius, r.

Divide both sides by (4/3) π, to isolate r³.  This results in:

      v               (4/3) π r³

-------------   =  -----------------

  (4/3) π             (4/3) π

                     

                       V              3V

Then r³ = --------------  =  --------

                   (4/3) π           4π

and r is found by taking the cube root of the above result:

            3V

r = ∛ ( ---------- )

            4π
