1. A cylindrical can is to have a volume of 24p . The cost of the material used for the top & bottom of the can is 3 cents/ and the cost of the material used for the curved sides is 2 cents/. Express the cost of constructing the can as a function of its radius.

Answer:

Totalcost = [tex]\frac{24}{r}[/tex]+ [tex]\frac{2r^2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the volume of the can is 24 cubic cm

Also given that it costs 3 cents per square cm on the to and bottom sides And 2 cents per square cm on the curved sides

Let the radius and height of the can be r and h

Now Volume =  π[tex]hr^{2}[/tex]

24  = π[tex]hr^{2}[/tex]

πh = [tex]\frac{24}{r^{2} }[/tex]

Now for constructing we use the surface area which is

Total surface area =  lateral surface area + curved surface area

Lateral suface area = 2π[tex]r^2[/tex]

Cost for preparing the lateral surface is lateral surface / cost for top and bottom = [tex]\frac{2r^2}{3}[/tex]

Curved surface area = 2πrh = 2r [tex]\times \frac{24}{r^2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{48}{r}[/tex]

Cost for preparing theCurved surface area is Curved surface / cost for curved  sides = [tex]\frac{48}{r\times 2}= \frac{24}{r}[/tex]

Totalcost = [tex]\frac{24}{r}[/tex]+ [tex]\frac{2r^2}{3}[/tex]
