A cylinder shaped can needs to be constructed to hold 500 cubic centimeters of soup. The material for the sides of the can costs

0.03 cents per square centimeter. The material for the top and bottom of the can need to be thicker, and costs 0.05 cents per square centimeter. Find the dimensions for the can that will minimize production cost. Helpful information: h : height of can, r : radius of can Volume of a cylinder: V

Answer:

r=3.628cm

h=12.093cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we are going to use principles, concepts and calculations from multivariable calculus; mainly we are going to use the Lagrange multipliers method. This method is thought to help us to find a extreme value of a multivariable function 'F' given a restriction 'G'. F represents the function that we want to optimize and G is just a relation between the variables of which F depends. The Lagrange method for just one restriction is:

\nabla F=\lambda \nabla G

First, let's build the function that we want to optimize, that is the cost. The cost is a function that must sum the cost of the sides material and the cost of the top and bottom material. The cost of the sides material is the unitary cost (0.03) multiplied by the sides area, which is A_s=2\pi rh for a cylinder; while the cost of the top and bottom material is the unitary cost (0.05) multiplied by the area of this faces, which is A_{TyB}=2\pi r^2 for a cylinder.

So, the cost function 'C' is:

C=2\pi rh*0.03+2\pi r^2*0.05\\C=0.06\pi rh+0.1\pi r^2

The restriction is the volume, which has to be of 500 cubic centimeters:

V=500=\pi r^2h\\500=\pi hr^2

So, let's apply the Lagrange multiplier method:

\nabla C=\lambda \nabla V\\\frac{\partial C}{\partial r}=0.06\pi h+0.2\pi r\\\frac{\partial C}{\partial h}=0.06\pi r\\\frac{\partial V}{\partial r}=2\pi rh\\\frac{\partial V}{\partial h}=\pi r^2\\(0.06\pi h+0.2\pi r,0.06\pi r)=\lambda (2\pi rh,\pi r^2)

At this point we have a three variable (h,r, λ)-three equation system, which solution will be the optimum point for the cost (the minimum). Let's write the system:

0.06\pi h+0.2\pi r=2\lambda \pi rh\\0.06\pi r=\lambda \pi r^2\\500=\pi hr^2

(In this kind of problems always the additional equation is the restricion, in this case, V=500).

Let's divide the first and second equations by π:

0.06h+0.2r=2\lambda rh\\0.06r=\lambda r^2\\500=\pi hr^2

Isolate λ from the second equation:

\lambda =\frac{0.06}{r}

Isolate h from the third equation:

h=\frac{500}{\pi r^2}

And then, replace λ and h in the first equation:

0.06*\frac{500}{\pi r^2} +0.2r=2*(\frac{0.06}{r})r\frac{500}{\pi r^2} \\\frac{30}{\pi r^2}+0.2r= \frac{60}{\pi r^2}

Multiply all the resultant equation by \pi r^{2}:

30+0.2\pi r^3=60\\0.2\pi r^3=30\\r^3=\frac{30}{0.2\pi } =\frac{150}{\pi}\\r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{150}{\pi}}\approx 3.628cm

Then, find h by the equation h=\frac{500}{\pi r^2} founded above:

h=\frac{500}{\pi r^2}\\h=\frac{500}{\pi (3.628)^2}=12.093cm

Using the segment addition postulate, which is true? A number line going from negative 9 to positive 9. A closed circle appears
MArishka [77]

Answer:

  BC + CD = BD

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment addition postulate tells you that when a segment is divided into two parts, the sum of the lengths of the first part of the divided segment and the second part of the divided segment will be equal to the length of the whole segment.

If point C divides segment BD into BC and CD, then the sum of those two segments will match the whole.

I'LL GIVE YOU BRAINIEST!<br> 1 1/5 · x/3 = 9/10 solve for x
joja [24]

\huge\text{Hey there!}

\huge\textbf{Equation:}

\mathbf{1 \dfrac{1}{5} \times \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}}

\huge\textbf{Solve:}

\mathbf{1 \dfrac{1}{5} \times \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}}

\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{1\times5+1}{5} \times \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}}

\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{5 + 1}{5} \times \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}}

\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{6}{5} \times \dfrac{x}{3} = \dfrac{9}{10}}

\huge\textbf{Simplify it:}

\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{2}{5}x = \dfrac{9}{10}}

\huge\textbf{Multiply \boxed{\bf \dfrac{5}{2}} to both sides:}

\mathbf{\rightarrow \dfrac{5}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}x = \dfrac{5}{2}\times \dfrac{9}{10}}

\huge\textbf{Simplify it:}

\mathbf{\rightarrow x = \dfrac{5}{2}\times \dfrac{9}{10}}

\mathbf{\rightarrow x = \dfrac{5\times9}{2\times10}}

\mathbf{\rightarrow x = \dfrac{45}{20}}

\mathbf{\rightarrow x = \dfrac{45\div5}{20\div5}}

\mathbf{\rightarrow x = \dfrac{9}{4}}

\mathbf{x \approx 2 \dfrac{1}{4}}

\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}

Which values of P and Q does the following equation have infinitely many solutions?
vladimir1956 [14]

Any value as long as P = Q

For the equation to have infinitely many solutions, we require both sides of the equation to have exactly the same terms.
