the sum of the height and radius of a right cylinder is 12 inches. what is the maximum volume of this cylinder

Sagot :

The maximum volume of this cylinder = 256π  cubic inches

What is volume?

In three-dimensional space, volume is the area occupied by an object within its borders. Another name for it is an object's capacity.

Let h be the height and r be the radius.

Then, h+r = 12

=> h=12-r

Volume of the cylinder (V):

V=πr²h

=> h= πr² ( 12-r )

=> h=  π ( 12r² - r³ )

Differentiate with respect to r , we get

dv/dr = 24 πr - 3πr²

Find r by taking dv/dr=0

24 πr - 3πr²  = 0

3π ( 8r - r² ) = 0

8r = r²

r=8

Again differentiating, we get

d²V/dr² = 24π - 6 π r

When r=8, 24π - 48 π  <0

So, V is maximum at r= 8 inches

And h= 12-8= 4 inches

Hence, the required volume of the cylinder = π8²*4 = 256π  cubic inches
