Question 984253: Please help me with the problem below:
The volume of a cylindrical is 500cm^3. The material used to make the top and bottom costs 0.012 cent/cm^2, the material used for the sides cots 0.01 cent/cm^2, and the seam joining the top and bottom to the sides cots 0.015 cent/cm. What size can would cost the least to produce?

volume,

Total surface area

and


Total seam length


Formula or function for cost using the given prices


Use the volume equation to substitute for h, and you can then simplify the cost function to be in just a single variable, r. Not here a finished solution but should help much.
