Question

Select the correct answer. The capacity in cubic feet of a cylindrical silo is given by the function C(x), where x is the radius of the silo in feet. The area of the circular base of the silo is given by the function A(x). C(x) = 6.28x3 + 18.84x2 A(x) = 3.14x2 Which function, H(x), represents the height of the silo? H(x) = x + 3 H(x) = 2x − 6 H(x) = 2x + 6 H(x) = x − 3

Answer 1

Answer:

C. H(x) = 2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cylindrical silo = Area of its circular base × Height

Volume of the cylindrical silo = πr²×H

If the area of the circular base of the silo is given by the function A(x), the volume is given by C(x) and the height is given by H(x), the formula can be expressed as;

C(x) = A(x) × H(x)

The height of the cylindrical silo will be;

H(x) = C(x)/A(x)

Given C(x) = 6.28x³ + 18.84x² and

A(x) = 3.14x²

H(x) = 6.28x³ + 18.84x²/3.14x²

H(x) = x²(6.28x+18.84)/3.14x²

H(x) = (6.28x+18.84)/3.14

H(x) = 3.14(2x+6)/3.14

H(x) = 2x+6

Hence, the function, H(x) that represents the height of the silo is 2x+6.
