A cylindrical package to be sent by a postal service can have a maximum combined length and girth (perimeter of a cross section)

of 141 inches. Find the dimensions of the package of maximum volume that can be sent. (The cross section is circular.)

Answer:

radius r = 47/π in

length l = 23.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us recall that:

Volume of a cylinder = \pi r^2 h --- (1)

The girth g = 2 \pi r + h      ----- (2)

Given that:

height (h) + girth (g) = 141

Then g = 141 - h   ----- (3)

Equating equation (2) and (3), we have:

141 - h = 2πr + h

2h = 141 - 2πr

h = 70.5 - πr      ------ (4)

From, here now, we can now replace the value of h into equation (1)

i.e.

V = πr²(70.5 - πr)

V = 70.5πr² -  π²r³

Taking the differential of the above equation with respect to r, we have:

\dfrac{dv}{dr} = 141 \pi r- 3\pi ^2 r^2

By further differentiation:

\dfrac{d^2v}{dr^2} = 141 \pi - 6\pi ^2 r

Let set \dfrac{dv}{dr}= 0, Then:

141πr - 3π²r² = 0

141πr = 3π²r²

Divide both sides by πr

141 = 3πr

r = 141/3π

r = 47/π in

Replacing the value of r = 47/π into equation (4), we have:

h = 70.5 - πr

h = 70.5 - π(47/π)

h = 70.5 - 47

h = 23.5 in

From equation (3);

h + g = 141

23.5 + g = 141

g = 141 - 23.5

g = 117.5 in

Volume = πr²h

V = π × (47/π )² × 23.5

V = 16523.94 in³

What is 9x-7y=-7 in slope intercept form?
Novay_Z [31]
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

So if you start with 9x - 7y = -7, the first thing you need to do is move the 9x to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides.
       9x - 7y =      -7
       -9x          -9x

Now you have -7y = -9x -7

For the equation to be in slope intercept form now you should divide every term by the number in front of your y.  In this case divide every term by -7
    -<u>7y</u> =  <u>-9x</u>  <u>-7</u>
      -7      -7   -7

That leaves you with: y = 9x/7 + 1
