no is the solution correct http://prntscr.com/zapca

hartnn (hartnn):

no there is a mistake after the step h=50

hartnn (hartnn):

2 pi r h + pi r^2 = 3000 h=50 100 pi r + pi r^2 = 300

hartnn (hartnn):

r^2 +100 r -300/pi = 0 can you solve this quadratic ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no iam confused we have to find r here

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, thats the quadratic equation in r can you solve quadratics ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it where will position h

hartnn (hartnn):

h is already given to be 50 and we have used it. we only need r now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r^2 +100 r = +95.59

hartnn (hartnn):

write that as r^2 +100r -95.59 =0 and use the quadratic formula.

hartnn (hartnn):

Compare your quadratic equation with \(ax^2+bx+c=0\) find \[a=...?\\b=...?\\c=...?\\\] \[ \\ \sqrt{b^2-4ac}=...?\] then the two roots of x are: \(\huge{x_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}}\)

OpenStudy (phi):

I think your equation should read \[ \pi r^2 +100 \pi r -3000 = 0 \] after dividing by pi (to simplify the r^2 term) \[ r^2 +100 r -\frac{3000}{\pi} = 0 \] or (using pi= 3.1416), roughly \[ r^2 +100 r - 954.93 =0 \]

OpenStudy (phi):

you definitely need a calculator to solve for r
