Answer:
No, its outside of the equation (shaded drawing)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) h = 123/x^2
b) S = x^2 +492/x
c) x ≈ 6.27
d) S'' = 6; area is a minimum (Y)
e) Amin ≈ 117.78 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The volume is given by ...
V = Bh
where B is the area of the base, x^2, and h is the height. Filling in the given volume, and solving for the height, we get:
123 = x^2·h
h = 123/x^2
__
b) The surface area is the sum of the area of the base (x^2) and the lateral area, which is the product of the height and the perimeter of the base.

__
c) The derivative of the area with respect to x is ...

When this is zero, area is at an extreme.
![0=2x -\dfrac{492}{x^2}\\\\0=x^3-246\\\\x=\sqrt[3]{246}\approx 6.26583](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0%3D2x%20-%5Cdfrac%7B492%7D%7Bx%5E2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C0%3Dx%5E3-246%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B246%7D%5Capprox%206.26583)
__
d) The second derivative is ...

This is positive, so the value of x found represents a minimum of the area function.
__
e) The minimum area is ...

The minimum area of metal used is about 117.78 m².
As soon as I read this, the words "law of cosines" popped
into my head. I don't have a good intuitive feeling for the
law of cosines, but I went and looked it up (you probably
could have done that), and I found that it's exactly what
you need for this problem.
The "law of cosines" relates the lengths of the sides of any
triangle to the cosine of one of its angles ... just what we need,
since we know all the sides, and we want to find one of the angles.
To find angle-B, the law of cosines says
b² = a² + c² - 2 a c cosine(B)
B = angle-B
b = the side opposite angle-B = 1.4
a, c = the other 2 sides = 1 and 1.9
(1.4)² = (1)² + (1.9)² - (2 x 1 x 1.9) cos(B)
1.96 = (1) + (3.61) - (3.8) cos(B)
Add 3.8 cos(B) from each side:
1.96 + 3.8 cos(B) = 4.61
Subtract 1.96 from each side:
3.8 cos(B) = 2.65
Divide each side by 3.8 :
cos(B) = 0.69737 (rounded)
Whipping out the
trusty calculator:
B = the angle whose cosine is 0.69737
= 45.784° .
Now, for the first time, I'll take a deep breath, then hold it
while I look back at the question and see whether this is
anywhere near one of the choices ...
By gosh ! Choice 'B' is 45.8° ! yay !
I'll bet that's it !
