A.) Since there are no restrictions as to the dimensions of the candle except that their volumes must equal 1 cubic foot and that each must be a cylinder, we have the freedom to decide the candles' dimensions.
I decided to have the candles equal in volume. So, 1 cubic foot divided by 8 gives us 0.125 cubic foot, 216 in cubic inches.
With each candle having a volume of 216 cubic inches, I assign a radius to each: 0.5 in, 1.0 in, 1.5 in, 2.0 in, 2.5 in, 3.0 in, 3.5 in, and 4.0 in. Then, using the formula of the volume of a cylinder, which is:
V=pi(r^2)(h)
we then solve the corresponding height per candle. Let us let the value of pi be 3.14.
Hence, we will have the following heights (expressed to the nearest hundredths) for each of the radius: for
r=2.5 in: h=11.01 in
r=3.0 in: h= 7.64 in
r=3.5 in: h= 5.62 in
r=4.0 in: h= 4.30 in
r=4.5 in: h= 3.40 in
r=5.0 in: h= 2.75 in
r=5.5 in: h= 2.27 in
r=6.0 in: h= 1.91 in
b. each candle should sell for $15.00 each
($20+$100)/8=$15.00
c. yes, because the candles are priced according to the volume of wax used to make them, which in this case, is just the same for all sizes
Part A
Everything looks good but line 4. You need to put all of the "2h" in parenthesis so the teacher will know you are squaring all of 2h. As you have it right now, you are saying "only square the h, not the 2". Be careful as silly mistakes like this will often cost you points.
============================================================
Part B
It looks like you have the right answer. Though you'll need to use parenthesis to ensure that all of "75t/(2pi)" is under the cube root. I'm assuming you made a typo or forgot to put the parenthesis.
dh/dt = (25)/(2pi*h^2)
2pi*h^2*dh = 25*dt
int[ 2pi*h^2*dh ] = int[ 25*dt ] ... applying integral to both sides
(2/3)pi*h^3 = 25t + C
2pi*h^3 = 3(25t + C)
h^3 = (3(25t + C))/(2pi)
h^3 = (75t + 3C)/(2pi)
h^3 = (75t + C)/(2pi)
h = [ (75t + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
Plug in the initial conditions. If the volume is V = 0 then the height is h = 0 at time t = 0
0 = [ (75(0) + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0 = [ (0 + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0 = [ (C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0^3 = (C)/(2pi)
0 = C/(2pi)
C/(2pi) = 0
C = 0*2pi
C = 0
Therefore the h(t) function is...
h(t) = [ (75t + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
h(t) = [ (75t + 0)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
Answer:
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
============================================================
Part C
Your answer is correct.
Below is an alternative way to find the same answer
--------------------------------------
Plug in the given height; solve for t
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
8 = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
8^3 = (75t)/(2pi)
512 = (75t)/(2pi)
(75t)/(2pi) = 512
75t = 512*2pi
75t = 1024pi
t = 1024pi/75
At this time value, the height of the water is 8 feet
Set up the radius r(t) function
r = 2*h
r = 2*h(t)
r = 2*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3) .... using the answer from part B
Differentiate that r(t) function with respect to t
r = 2*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
dr/dt = 2*(1/3)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3-1)*d/dt[(75t)/(2pi)]
dr/dt = (2/3)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)*(75/(2pi))
dr/dt = (2/3)*(75/(2pi))*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
Plug in t = 1024pi/75 found earlier above
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75(1024pi/75))/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (1024pi)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*(1/64)
dr/dt = 25/(64pi)
getting the same answer as before
----------------------------
Thinking back as I finish up, your method is definitely shorter and more efficient. So I prefer your method, which is effectively this:
r = 2h, dr/dh = 2
dh/dt = (25)/(2pi*h^2) ... from part A
dr/dt = dr/dh*dh/dt ... chain rule
dr/dt = 2*((25)/(2pi*h^2))
dr/dt = ((25)/(pi*h^2))
dr/dt = ((25)/(pi*8^2)) ... plugging in h = 8
dr/dt = (25)/(64pi)
which is what you stated in your screenshot (though I added on the line dr/dt = dr/dh*dh/dt to show the chain rule in action)
Yes, I would say so, or a right triangle.
