Answer:

x = 10 cm, y = 5 cm gives a minimum area of 300 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

V= x^2y = 500

Surface area A = x^2 + 4xy.

From the first equation y = 500/x^2

So substituting for y in the equation for the surface area:

A = x^2 + 4x * 500/x^2

A = x^2 + 2000/x

Finding the derivative:

dA/dx = 2x - 2000x^-2

dA/dx = 2x - 2000/x^2

This = 0 for a minimum/maximum value of A, so

2x - 2000/x^2  = 0

2x^3 - 2000 = 0

x^3 = 2000/ 2 = 1000

x = 10

Second derivative is  2 + 4000/x^3

when x = 10  this is positive so x = 10 gives a minimum value of A.

So y =  500/x^2

= 500/100

= 5.

What is 2 log x - logy - 2 log z written as a single logarithm?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Log [x^2 / yz^2]

Step-by-step explanation:

2log(x) =log(x^2)

-log(y) = The minus sign means that you can divide it by first log(x^2)

-2log(z) =log(z^2), and the minus sign again means you can divide it by the first log(x^2)

So, the whole thing can be written like this:

Log(x^2) / [log(y)*log(z^2)], OR:

Log [x^2 / yz^2]
