[25 POINTS] A cylinder has a volume of 400π cm3. Find the dimensions that minimize its surface area.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

r = 5.848cm, h = 11.696cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area: SA=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2

Volume: V=\pi r^2h

Therefore, the height of a cylinder given its volume would be h=\frac{V}{\pi r^2}, thus:

SA=2\pi r(\frac{V}{\pi r^2})+2\pi r^2\\\\SA=\frac{2V}{r}+2\pi r^2\\\\SA=\frac{2(400\pi)}{r}+2\pi r^2\\\\SA=\frac{800\pi}{r}+2\pi r^2

We now find the derivative of the surface area of the cylinder with respect to its radius and set it equal to 0, solving for the radius:

\frac{d(SA)}{dr}=-\frac{800\pi}{r^2}+4\pi r

0=-\frac{800}{r^2}+4\pi r

0=800\pi+4\pi r^3

-800\pi=4\pi r^3

-200=r^3

r\approx5.848

If 0If [tex]r>5.848, then the surface area of the cylinder increases

Therefore, the surface area is minimized when the radius is r=5.848cm, making the minimum height h=\frac{V}{\pi r^2}=\frac{400\pi}{\pi(5.848)^2}\approx11.696cm.

In conclusion, the 2nd option is correct.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

35% are of seventh grade.

total students = 180

.: 35% of 180. = 35/100 × 180 = 35 × 18 /10

= 630/10

=63

.: The number of seventh graders are 63.

A student says that if 5x2 = 20, then x must be
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

I agree with the student's answer. "x" cannot be -2 because then it would make -20 which is not equal to 20:

5(-2)(2) = ?

-10 x 2 = ?

? = -20

-20 ≠ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Justificaiton:

5(x)(2) = 20

10(x) = 20

10/10(x) = 20/10

x = 2

Second Justification:

5(x)(2) = 20

5/5(x)(2) = 20/5

2x = 4

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 2

If she runs half the distance to school, and runs the same back, this means that she suns 7/8 miles in a day. In 5 days, 5 x 7/8 = 35/8 miles (or 4.375 miles in 5 days).
