A right cylinder is constructed such that the sum of its radius and twice its height is 18.
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2h = 18
\n" ); document.write( "2h = (18-x)
\n" ); document.write( "h = (9-.5x)
\n" ); document.write( " What should the radius and height be in order to create a cylinder of maximum volume?
\n" ); document.write( " The radius is represented by x.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"pi%2Ax%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "replace h with (9-.5x)
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"pi%2Ax%5E2%2A%289-.5x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "graphically
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+30%2C+-200%2C+1500%2C+pi%2Ax%5E2%2A%289-.5x%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Max volume at x=12 is the radius
\n" ); document.write( "find the height
\n" ); document.write( "h = 9 - .5(12)
\n" ); document.write( "h = 3 is the height
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
