Answer:

radius r = 3.414 in

height h = 6.8275 in

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The volume V of a closed cylindrical container with its surface area can be expressed as follows:

V = \pi r^2 h

S = 2 \pi rh + 2 \pi r^2

Given that Volume V = 250 in²

Then;

\pi r^2h = 250  \\ \\ h = \dfrac{250}{\pi r^2}

We also know that the cylinder contains top and bottom circle and the area is equal to πr²,

Hence, if we incorporate these areas in the total area of the cylinder.

Then;

S = 2\pi r h + 2 \pi r ^2

S = 2\pi r (\dfrac{250}{\pi r^2}) + 2 \pi r ^2

S = \dfrac{500}{r} + 2 \pi r ^2

To find the minimum by determining the radius at which the surface by using the first-order derivative.

S' = 0

- \dfrac{500}{r^2} + 4 \pi r = 0

r^3 = \dfrac{500 }{4 \pi}

r^3 = 39.789

r =\sqrt[3]{39.789}

r = 3.414 in

Using the second-order derivative of S to determine the area is maximum or minimum at the radius, we have:

S'' = - \dfrac{500(-2)}{r^3}+ 4 \pi

S'' =  \dfrac{1000}{r^3}+ 4 \pi

Thus, the minimum surface area will be used because the second-derivative shows that the area function is higher than zero.

Thus, from h = \dfrac{250}{\pi r^2}

h = \dfrac{250}{\pi (3.414) ^2}

h = 6.8275 in

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Sara picked 48 peaches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara originally had 39 peaches, but after picking more, she had 87 peaches.

If x is the number of peaches she picked, then:

x + 39 = 87

x = 48 peaches

(-6-4) divided by (-5)
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(-6 - 4)/(-5)

Hint: | Group the negative terms in -6 - 4 together and factor out the minus sign.

-6 - 4 = -(6 + 4):

(-(6 + 4))/(-5)

Hint: | Evaluate 6 + 4.

6 + 4 = 10:

(-10)/(-5)

Hint: | In (-10)/(-5), the numbers 10 in the numerator and -5 in the denominator have gcd greater than one.

The gcd of 10 and -5 is 5, so (-10)/(-5) = (-(5×2))/(5 (-1)) = 5/5×(-2)/(-1) = (-2)/(-1):

(-2)/(-1)

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (-2)/(-1).

(-2)/(-1) = (-1)/(-1)×2 = 2:

Answer: 2
