Question 453989
The total surface area of a cylinder of height 9.5 cm is estimated using the function f(r) = 6r2 + 60r, where r is the radius of the cylinder. If the radius of the cylinder is 5 cm, what is its total surface area?
--------
f(5) = 6*5^2+50*5
---
f(5) = 150+250 = 400 cm^2
----------------------------
That's f(5).  It doesn't show any relation 
to the 9.5 cm height which certainly is
a factor in determining the total surface
area.
