\n" ); document.write( "r = radius
\n" ); document.write( "h = height\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SA = surface area of the cylinder
\n" ); document.write( "\"SA+=+2%2Api%2Ar%2Ah+%2B+2%2Api%2Ar%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10+=+2%2Api%2Ar%2Ah+%2B+2%2Api%2Ar%5E2\" Plug in the given surface area of 10 square units. From here we isolate h.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10+=+2%2A%28pi%2Ar%2Ah+%2B+pi%2Ar%5E2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2F2+=+pi%2Ar%2Ah+%2B+pi%2Ar%5E2\" Divide both sides by 2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5+=+pi%2Ar%2Ah+%2B+pi%2Ar%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5-pi%2Ar%5E2+=+pi%2Ar%2Ah\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+%285+-+pi%2Ar%5E2%29%2F%28pi%2Ar%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "We'll use this so we can eliminate the variable h in the next equation below.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V = volume of the cylinder
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2A%28%285+-+pi%2Ar%5E2%29%2F%28pi%2Ar%29%29\" Plug in the equation we solved previously\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+r%2A%285+-+pi%2Ar%5E2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+5r+-+pi%2Ar%5E3\" We end up with the volume in terms of one single variable.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's consider the function \"f%28x%29+=+5x+-+pi%2Ax%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = r = radius
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = V = volume\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Domain: x > 0
\n" ); document.write( "Range: f(x) > 0
\n" ); document.write( "We focus on the upper right quadrant (aka Q1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use a graphing calculator, or derivatives (if you are in a calculus class), to find the highest point in Q1 occurs at the approximate location of (0.728366, 2.427885)
\n" ); document.write( "GeoGebra and Desmos are two graphing options that I recommend.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Here is the link to the interactive Desmos graph
\n" ); document.write( "https://www.desmos.com/calculator/pzk6yfzxpd
\n" ); document.write( "Click on the highest point to have its coordinates show up. You may have to click twice.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore a radius of approximately 0.728366 units leads to the max cylinder volume of approximately 2.427885 cubic units. This applies only when the surface area is 10 square units.
\n" ); document.write( "A real world application is that you have 10 square units of material, and the goal is to get the most storage space out of the cylinder.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: 2.4279 cubic units
