Find the height of a cylinder with a surface area of 108 pi square meters. The radius of the cylinder is twice the height.

1 answer:

4 0

Let
x---------> radius of the cylinder
y---------> the height of the cylinder

we know that
x=2y
[surface area of cylinder]=2*[pi*r²]+2*pi*r*h
surface area=108*pi m²
r=x
h=y
x=2y
108*pi=2*[pi*(2y)²]+2*pi*(2y)*y
108*pi=8*pi*y²+4*pi*y²
108*pi=12*pi*y²
y²=108/12
y²=9----------> y=√9--------> y=3 m
x=2y-------> x=2*3-----> x=6 m

the answer is
the height of the cylinder is 3 m

A juggler tosses a ball into the air . The balls height, h and time t seconds can be represented by the equation h(t)= -16t^2+40

malfutka [58]

PART A

The given equation is

$h(t) = - 16 {t}^{2} + 40t + 4$

In order to find the maximum height, we write the function in the vertex form.

We factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + 4$

We add and subtract

$- 16(- \frac{5}{4} )^{2}$

to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + - 16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4$

We again factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} ) - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4$

This implies that,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} ) + 16( \frac{25}{16}) + 4$

The quadratic trinomial above is a perfect square.

$h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +25+ 4$

This finally simplifies to,

$h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29$

The vertex of this function is

$V( \frac{5}{4} ,29)$

The y-value of the vertex is the maximum value.

Therefore the maximum value is,

$29$

PART B

When the ball hits the ground,

$h(t) = 0$

This implies that,

$- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29 = 0$

We add -29 to both sides to get,

$- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = - 29$

This implies that,

$( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = \frac{29}{16}$

$t- \frac{5}{4} = \pm \sqrt{ \frac{29}{16} }$

$t = \frac{5}{4} \pm \frac{ \sqrt{29} }{4}$

$t = \frac{ 5 + \sqrt{29} }{4} = 2.60$

or

$t = \frac{ 5 - \sqrt{29} }{4} = - 0.10$

Since time cannot be negative, we discard the negative value and pick,

$t = 2.60s$
