A company manufactures cylindrical containers with a fixed volume of 1000cm3. The cost of the material for the curved surface is 0.50 dollars per cm2, and the cost for the two circular ends is 0.80 dollars per cm2.
(a)
Show that the total cost, C dollars, can be expressed as
C=r1000+1.6πr2
where rcm is the radius of the cylinder. [3 marks]
(b)
Calculate the value of r that minimises the total cost. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures. [2 marks]
(c)
Hence determine the minimum total cost and justify that this value of r gives a minimum rather than a maximum. [1 mark]
