-7 is less than 16 because -7 goes behind 0 and 6 is a positive number
Answer:
42 and 30
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
How you do this is you go from left to right with each one, and figure out which number is greater. For this particular problem the answer will be,
1.2 1.23 2.31 3.2
