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

20 POINTS!!! I GIVE BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP!!!!A circle with a circumference of approximately 15.71 inches drawn inside a square,
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

answer:

5.002 inches

step-by-step explanation:

  • find the diameter of the circle
  • the diameter is the side length of the square since the sides of it are touching the circle

c = 2πr

  • c stands for circumference
  • π stands for pi (or 3.14)
  • r stands for radius

- plug in the values given to find the diameter

c = 2πr

15.71 = 2(3.14)r

15.71 = 6.28r

r = 2.501 (rounded or estimated)

  • now that we have the radius, we can find the diameter by multiplying by 2, since diameter is two times bigger than the radius

diameter = 5.002 (estimated)

  • now, that will be the side length because the diameter = the side length
