Algebra.Com's Answer #330081 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5. Assuming that the object is a cylinder and the height is constant (b/c it's a function of the radius) we have\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since A is a function in terms of r,\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Finding the minimum surface area is trivial, set r = 0. Hopefully this is what your problem meant...\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You'll have to describe #8 a little more clearly, since my first thought is to double the area of the top, and maybe cut out a hemisphere on the bottom, but I am not 100% sure. Either way, just find the surface area (A) in terms of r, find dA/dr then set it to zero to find possible extrema. \n" ); document.write( " |
