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.

Error Analysis: Pedro compares 7/33 and 2/11. He incorrectly says 7/33 < 2/11 because 4.71 < 5.50. Compare 7/33 and 2/11.
madreJ [45]
He divided the wrong way.  7/33 = .2121.....and 2/11 = .1818...., so actually 2/11 < 7/33

A tennis ball is hit into the air with a racket when is the balls kinetic energy he greatest ignore the air resistance
Veronika [31]

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

The tennis ball would create kinetic energy as it was both traveling up to it's maximum height and as it was falling back down to the ground.

Because of gravity, the kinetic force would be greater as it was falling back to the ground though.

The answer would be B) just before it reaches the ground.
