Answer:

r = 1.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Solid = Cylinder + 2 hemisphere

Volume = 10cm^3

Required

Determine the radius (r) that minimizes the surface area

First, we need to determine the volume of the shape.

Volume of Cylinder (V1) is:

V_1 = \pi r^2h

Volume of 2 hemispheres (V2) is:

V_2 = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 +\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

V_2 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Volume of the solid is:

V = V_1 + V_2

V = \pi r^2h + \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Substitute 10 for V

10 = \pi r^2h + \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Next, we make h the subject

\pi r^2h = 10 -  \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Solve for h

h = \frac{10}{\pi r^2} -  \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 }{\pi r^2}

h = \frac{10}{\pi r^2} -  \frac{4\pi r^3 }{3\pi r^2}

h = \frac{10}{\pi r^2} -  \frac{4r }{3}

Next, we determine the surface area

Surface area (A1) of the cylinder:

Note that the cylinder is covered by the 2 hemisphere.

So, we only calculate the surface area of the curved surface.

i.e.

A_1 = 2\pi rh

Surface Area (A2) of 2 hemispheres is:

A_2 = 2\pi r^2+2\pi r^2

A_2 = 4\pi r^2

Surface Area (A) of solid is

A = A_1 + A_2

A = 2\pi rh + 4\pi r^2

Substitute h = \frac{10}{\pi r^2} -  \frac{4r }{3}

A = 2\pi r(\frac{10}{\pi r^2} -  \frac{4r }{3}) + 4\pi r^2

Open bracket

A = \frac{2\pi r*10}{\pi r^2} -  \frac{2\pi r*4r }{3} + 4\pi r^2

A = \frac{2*10}{r} -  \frac{2\pi r*4r }{3} + 4\pi r^2

A = \frac{20}{r} -  \frac{8\pi r^2 }{3} + 4\pi r^2

A = \frac{20}{r} +  \frac{-8\pi r^2 }{3} + 4\pi r^2

Take LCM

A = \frac{20}{r} +  \frac{-8\pi r^2  + 12\pi r^2}{3}

A = \frac{20}{r} +  \frac{4\pi r^2}{3}

Differentiate w.r.t r

A' = -\frac{20}{r^2} +  \frac{8\pi r}{3}

Equate A' to 0

-\frac{20}{r^2} +  \frac{8\pi r}{3}  = 0

Solve for r

\frac{8\pi r}{3}  = \frac{20}{r^2}

Cross Multiply

8\pi r * r^2 = 20 * 3

8\pi  r^3 = 60

Divide both sides by 8\pi

r^3 = \frac{60}{8\pi}

r^3 = \frac{15}{2\pi}

Take \pi = 22/7

r^3 = \frac{15}{2 * 22/7}

r^3 = \frac{15}{44/7}

r^3 = \frac{15*7}{44}

r^3 = \frac{105}{44}

Take cube roots of both sides

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{105}{44}}

r = \sqrt[3]{2.38636363636}

r = 1.33632535155

r = 1.34 (approximated)

<em>Hence, the radius is 1.34cm</em>

If p(x)=2x^2-4x and q(x)=x-3 what is (p*q)(x)
Tanya [424]

Answer: 2x³-10x²+12x or 2x(x²-5x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

(p*q)(x) means p(x) and q(x) multiplied together.

(2x²-4x)(x-3)

2x³-6x²-4x²+12x

2x³-10x²+12x

You can also factor this by taking out a 2x.

2x(x²-5x+6)
