A circular cylindrical container, open at the top, and having a capacity of 24pi cubic inches, is to be manufactured. If the cos

t of the material used for the bottom of the container is three times that used for the curved part and if there is no waste of material, find the dimensions which will minimize the cost

Answer: radius r = 2 inches

height h = 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Volume V = 24πin3

Volume of a cylinder is given by

V = πr^2h

h = V/πr^2. ....1

Where, h = height and r = radius of cylinder

For the surface area of the cylinder with open top. we have,

S = 2πrh + πr^2

For the cost of materials used, let k represent the cost of materials used for the body of the cylinder.

Then, for the bottom will be 3k

Total cost will be represented by C, which gives

C = 2πrhk + 3πr^2k. .....2

Substituting eqn 1 to 2, we have;

C = 2πrVk/πr^2 + 3πr^2k

C = 2Vk/r + 3πr^2k

The material cost is minimum at dC/dr = 0

dC/dr = -2Vk/r^2 + 6πrk =0

6πrk = 2Vk/r^2

r^3 = 2V/6π

r = (2×24π/6π)^-3

r = (8)^-3

r = 2

Substituting r = 2 into eqn1

h = 24π/π(2^2)

h = 24/4 = 6

h = 6

What is the domain and range for this graph?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Informally, the domain is the set of all possible elements in a set for which there is one and only one output. In interval notation, the domain is (-4, ∞). I am assuming it continues on infinitely to the right because of the arrow. The range is [1, <span>∞). Here, you choose the lowest value on the graph, up to the highest one.</span>
