A water tower is formed by joining two hemispheres to a cylinder and removing the flat surfaces at the ends. The volume needs to

be 200 cubic meters. The metal used to form the hemispheres costs three times as much as the metal used to form the cylinder part. What dimensions of the water tower will minimize the cost?

Wait what?
removing the flat surfaces...
... oh!
I get it

okey dokey
basicaly find the shape that gives you a volume of 200 cubic meters and and minimizes the amount of materials needed to make the conainer


find the volume
we can take the 2 hemispheres and combine them to get 1 sphere
we can take the cylinder as well
vsphere=(4/3)pir^3
vcylinder=hpir^2
so total volume would be (4/3)pir^3+hpir^2


now find surface area which is the amount of sheet metal we will need to construct it
surface area=lateral area of cylinder+surface area of sphere
lateral area of cylinder=2pirh
surface aea of sphere=4pir^2 
total surface area=2pirh+4pir^2
but, the hemishpere part costs 3 times more
so just say the cylinder part costs 1 dollar per square meter and hemisphere part costs 3 dollars so we mutiply hemishpere part by 3 to get
SAcost=2pirh+12pir^2



so we got
v=200=hpir^2+4/3pir^3
solve for h since the r exponents are tricky
h=\frac{200-\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3}{\pi r^2}
subsitute that for h in the other equation
SAcost=2pirh+12pir^2
SAcost=2 \pi r (\frac{200-\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}{\pi r^2})+12 \pi r^2
now we simpilify and take the derivitive to find the value of r where SAcost is a minimum
we get at that the derivitive of SAcost is 0 at r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{150}{7 \pi}}
by subsituteion we find that the value of h will be then h=\frac{4(7 \pi -1)\sqrt[3]{7350}}{21\sqrt[3]{\pi}}

aproximately
the radius should be about 1.8964m and the height should be about 53.0789m

********PLEASE HELP ****** DVD players are going out of fashion in the modern era. If 400,000 DVD players were sold this year an
abruzzese [7]
So 400,000 DVD sales with a 31% decline means in the 1st year following, there will be a decline of 124,000 DVDs sold. So we need to take 400,000 - 124,000, which equals a starting point for year two is 276,000 DVDs.

So a 31% decline on 276,000 = 85,560. So we need to subtract that from 85,560 from 276,000 which is 190,440. So at the end of the second year, DVD sales were only 190,440.  That's also out starting point of the 3rd year. 

So 31% of 190,440 equals 59,036.4 for the third year of DVD sales. So we need to subtract 59,036.4 from out third year starting point of 190,440, which equals 131,403.6, but since you can't have parts of DVDs, we'll round the decimal point fraction to a whole number to end up with 131,404 DVDs sold in year three.

So after three years of a 31% yearly decline in DVD sales you end up with DVD sales are 131,404

Why can't a trapezoid have 4 obtuse angles
In-s [12.5K]
Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.

A trapezoid is not possible to have for obtuse because it would look more like a diamond. Also, if it had 4 obtuse angles, it would have 6 sides.

Hope this helped!! ☺♥
