Question

V= 2(Pi) ( x + y )^( a^2 - x^2 - 4y) find the maximum volume

Answer 1

This is a crazy question. What shape is this a volume function for, and what dimensions do the variables represent?

Answer 2

hi smoothmath, thanks for the reply.
this is indeed a crazy question. this is a partial differential question. where a=radius of a sphere which is constant, x = length of a cylinder, y = length of another cylinder. we are need to find the maximum volume of the V

Answer 3

...interesting. Can I see a diagram? I'm trying to understand how that equation becomes the volume function.

Answer 4

Do the cylinders fit inside of the sphere?
