Answer:

x= 5/2, x= -3

4x^2+2x-30=0; Factor that without the 0. Then you get 2 (2x-5) (x+3)=0.

2x-5=0 x= 5/2

x+3=0 x= -3

Hope this helps! :D

The answer is x = 11

first you multiply the numbers
0= 8 + 2x- 30

then you calculate that difference
0= -22+ 2x

then move variable to the left
-2x= -22

divide
x= 11

<u>Optimizing With Derivatives </u>

The procedure to optimize a function (find its maximum or minimum) consists in :

Produce a function which depends on only one variable
Compute the first derivative and set it equal to 0
Find the values for the variable, called critical points
Compute the second derivative
Evaluate the second derivative in the critical points. If it results positive, the critical point is a minimum, if it's negative, the critical point is a maximum

We know a cylinder has a volume of 4 $ft^3$ . The volume of a cylinder is given by

$\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h$

Equating it to 4

$\displaystyle \pi r^2h=4$

Let's solve for h

$\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi r^2}$

A cylinder with an open-top has only one circle as the shape of the lid and has a lateral area computed as a rectangle of height h and base equal to the length of a circle. Thus, the total area of the material to make the cylinder is

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Replacing the formula of h

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi r \left (\frac{4}{\pi r^2}\right )$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+\frac{8}{r}$

We have the function of the area in terms of one variable. Now we compute the first derivative and equal it to zero

$\displaystyle A'=2\pi r-\frac{8}{r^2}=0$

Rearranging

$\displaystyle 2\pi r=\frac{8}{r^2}$

Solving for r

$\displaystyle r^3=\frac{4}{\pi }$

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4}{\pi }}\approx 1.084\ feet$

Computing h

$\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi \ r^2}\approx 1.084\ feet$

We can see the height and the radius are of the same size. We check if the critical point is a maximum or a minimum by computing the second derivative

$\displaystyle A''=2\pi+\frac{16}{r^3}$
