Answer: x intercept = 6

This is the location (6,0)

===============================================================

Explanation:

I assume you're talking about the boundary line of the inequality. The boundary line equation is 2x + 3y = 12

To find the x intercept, plug in y = 0 and solve for x

2x + 3y = 12

2x + 3(0) = 12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

The boundary line 2x+3y = 12 crosses the x axis at x = 6.

We can say the x intercept is x = 6. This is the location (6,0).

Side note: the y intercept is y = 4, which is found by plugging in x = 0 and solving for y.

[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.
