Answer: 5 branches and 16 birds.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number of birds is B, and the number of branches is N.
First we have the equation:
B = 3*N + 1
(3 birds per branch + 1 that was flying around)
for the second equation we have:
B = 4*(N - 1)
(4 birds per branch, but one branch had no birds on it, so there are N -1 branches used)
now we can write:
3*N + 1 = 4*(N - 1)
3*N + 1 = 4*N - 4
4 + 1 = 4*N - 3*N
5 = N
So we had 5 branches, now we can replace it in one of the equations and find the number of birds.
B = 3*N + 1 = 3*5 + 1 = 16
Surface area of the pyramid= 4*(area of the triangle) + area of the square
Area of the triangle = (1/2)*base*height=(1/2)*5*5= 25/2 in²
Area of the square = 5*5 =25 in²
Surface area of the pyramid = 4*(25/2) + 25=2*25 + 25=75 in²

Answer:
the dimensions that minimize the cost of the cylinder are R= 3.85 cm and L=12.88 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
since the volume of a cylinder is
V= π*R²*L → L =V/ (π*R²)
the cost function is
Cost = cost of side material * side area + cost of top and bottom material * top and bottom area
C = a* 2*π*R*L + b* 2*π*R²
replacing the value of L
C = a* 2*π*R* V/ (π*R²) + b* 2*π*R² = a* 2*V/R + b* 2*π*R²
then the optimal radius for minimum cost can be found when the derivative of the cost with respect to the radius equals 0 , then
dC/dR = -2*a*V/R² + 4*π*b*R = 0
4*π*b*R = 2*a*V/R²
R³ = a*V/(2*π*b)
R= ∛( a*V/(2*π*b))
replacing values
R= ∛( a*V/(2*π*b)) = ∛(0.03$/cm² * 600 cm³ /(2*π* 0.05$/cm²) )= 3.85 cm
then
L =V/ (π*R²) = 600 cm³/(π*(3.85 cm)²) = 12.88 cm
therefore the dimensions that minimize the cost of the cylinder are R= 3.85 cm and L=12.88 cm
