Answer:

8/π

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cylinder is:

V = πr²h

Surface area of the cylinder (with square top and bottom) is:

A = 2πrh + 8r²

Use the volume equation to write h in terms of r.

h = V / (πr²)

Substitute into the area equation:

A = 2V / r + 8r²

Take derivative with respect to r.

dA/dr = -2V / r² + 16r

Set to 0 and solve for r.

0 = -2V / r² + 16r

2V / r² = 16r

2V = 16r³

V = 8r³

Plug into the volume equation.

8r³ = πr²h

8r = πh

h / r = 8 / π

Solve the system of equations. x + 3y = −1 2x + 2y = 6
mihalych1998 [28]
  1x+ 3y = -12x + 2y = 6
+12x         +12x
  13x + 3y = 2y = 6 
           +3y  +3y
  13x = 5y = 6 
13x = 5y and 5y = 6

The altitude of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 1 cm/ min while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm2
serg [7]
Ya, calculus and related rates, such fun!




everything is changing with respect to t

altitude rate will be dh/dt and that is 1cm/min
dh/dt=1cm/min

area will be da/dt which is increasing at 2cm²/min
da/dt=2cm²/min

base=db/dt

alright

area=1/2bh
take dervitivie of both sides
da/dt=1/2((db/dt)(h)+(dh/dt)(b))
solve for db/dt
distribute
da/dt=1/2(db/dt)(h)+1/2(dh/dt)(b)
move
da/dt-1/2(dh/dt)(b)=1/2(db/dt)(h)
times 2 both sides
2da/dt-(dh/dt)(b)=(db/dt)(h)
divide by h
(2da/dt-(dh/dt)(b))/h=db/dt

ok
we know
height=10
area=100
so
a=1/2bh
100=1/2b10
100=5b
20=b

so
h=10
b=20
da/dt=2cm²/min
dh/dt=1cm/min

therefor
(2(2cm²/min)-(1cm/min)(20cm))/10cm=db/dt
(4cm²/min-20cm²/min)/10cm=db/dt
(-16cm²/min)/10cm=db/dt
-1.6cm/min=db/dt

the base is decreasing at 1.6cm/min
