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.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

a. y = (3/5)× x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

y= mx+c

m = (13-4)/(20-5) = 9/15 = 3/5

c= 1

so, y= mx+c becomes y= (3/5) × x +1
