A cylindrical package with half a hemisphere to be sent by a postal service can have a maximum combined length (height of the cy

linder) and girth (perimeter of a cross section of the cylinder) of 108 inches. Find the dimensions of the package of maximum volume that can be sent. Assume the cross section is a circle. (Make sure you verify that the value you found is the maximum).

Answer:

36 x 18 x 18

Step-by-step explanation:

By Lagrange multiplier's method,

∇f(x,y,z)= λ∇g(x,y,z) & g(x,y,z)=k

considering x,y,z as three unequal sides of the box

f(x,y,z)=xyz

If x represents the length, then constraint condition is g(x,y,z)= x + 2(y+z) =108

We have the following three equations:

yz= λ -->eq(1) fx= λgx

xz=2λ -->eq(2) fy=λgy

xy= 2λ -->eq(3) fz=λgz

x+2y+2z=108-->eq(4)

Dividing eq(2) by eq(1), we'll have

x / y =2

=> x= 2y

Also, by using eq(2)and eq(3), we can represent y=z

By substituting 'x= 2y' and 'y=z' in eq(4), we have

eq(4)=>

2y+ 2(y+y)= 108

y=108/6

y=18

<u>For x: </u> x=2y=> 2(18)=>36

<u>For z: </u>z= y = 18

Therefore, the dimensions are 36 x 18 x 18

Answer:

Radius of package is 36/π inches

Height of package is 36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

Sum of height plus perimeter of package = 108 inches that is

2πr + h = 108 inches

Where:

Height of package = h

Radius of package = r

Volume of package = πr²h

However, h = 108 - 2πr

Therefore, the equation for the volume of the package is;

Volume of package, V = πr²(108 - 2πr) = πr²×108 - 2π²r³

Differentiating the above equation and equating to zero to find a maximum value, we have;

2πr×108 - 6r²π² = 0

2πr×108 = 6r²π²

36 = r·π

r = 36/π inches

h = 108 - 2πr = 108 - 72 = 36 inches

Radius of package, r = 36/π inches

Height of package, h = 36 inches.

Evaluate Dx / ^ 9-8x - x2^

Solnce55 [7]

It depends on what you mean by the delimiting carats "^"...

Since you use parentheses appropriately in the answer choices, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume something like "^x^" stands for $\sqrt x$ .

In that case, you want to find the antiderivative,

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}$

Complete the square in the denominator:

$9-8x-x^2=25-(16+8x+x^2)=5^2-(x+4)^2$

Now substitute $x+4=5\sin y$ , so that $\mathrm dx=5\cos y\,\mathrm dy$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}=\int\frac{5\cos y}{\sqrt{5^2-(5\sin y)^2}}\,\mathrm dy$

which simplifies to

$\displaystyle\int\frac{5\cos 
y}{5\sqrt{1-\sin^2y}}\,\mathrm dy=\int\frac{\cos y}{\sqrt{\cos^2y}}\,\mathrm dy$

Now, recall that $\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$ . But we want the substitution we made to be reversible, so that

$x+4=5\sin y\iff y=\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x+4}5\right)$

which implies that $-\dfrac\pi2\le y\le\dfrac\pi2$ . (This is the range of the inverse sine function.)

Under these conditions, we have $\cos y\ge0$ , which lets us reduce $\sqrt{\cos^2y}=|\cos y|=\cos y$ . Finally,

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\cos y}{\cos y}\,\mathrm dy=\int\mathrm dy=y+C$

and back-substituting to get this in terms of $x$ yields

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x+4}5\right)+C$
