document.write( "Question 891333: Cost of a Can. A can in the shape of a right circular cylinder is required to have a volume of 500 cubic centimeters. The top and bottom are made of material that costs 6 cents per square centimeter, while the sides are made of material that costs 4 cents per square centimeter. Express the total cost C of the material as a function of the radius r of the cylinder. What will the cost be if the radius is 10 centimeters?\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
v = volume
\n" ); document.write( "r = radius
\n" ); document.write( "h =length of can or could be consdired as height
\n" ); document.write( "S = surface area
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"v=pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"S=2%2Api%2Ar%5E2%2Bh%2A2pi%2Ar\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want S as a function of r, and you know v is a given constant, but h is unknown. You can use the v equation and solve for h and therefore eliminate h as a variable in the s equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"h=v%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29\";
\n" ); document.write( "\"S=2pi%2Ar%5E2%2B%28v%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29%292pi%2Ar\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"S=2pi%2Ar%5E2%2B%282pi%2Ar%2Av%29%2Fr%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28S=2pi%2Ar%5E2%2B2pi%2Av%2Fr%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The cost of the can is only slightly more complicated. Track from where each term came. The top and bottom EACH is \"pi%2Ar%5E2\". The circular shaped side is \"2pi%2Av%2Fr\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28C=6%282pi%2Ar%5E2%29%2B4%282pi%2Av%2Fr%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "Simply substitute your needed values for r, and v, and compute the value for C as cents for the can.
