Answer 1

Hello, Welcome to Openstudy, plzzz. remember that cheating is not allowed and I will help you achieve an answer, thus I will not give you the ANSWER. This is Openstudy policy!

Answer 2

Discuss how surface area and volume play a role in marketing products, such as advantages and disadvantages. Give specific examples and include related information when appropriate, such as surface area, lateral area, cross section, etc.

I need ideas. I am confused about what this is asking and don't know what the heck to do! Please help!

Answer 3

@_CALCULASMASTER_ I'm not new.

Answer 4

Help please!!!

Answer 5

Anyone?

Answer 6

@SolomonZelman

Answer 7

This is really unusual type of question....

What's the point of Area and Volume formulas in economics.

Think about how it's necessary to count the volume of 2 objects to know how much exactly of n item you are buying.
the use of Circumference would be... I am not sure.

Answer 8

"This is really unusual type of question...."
No kiddin' @SolomonZelman

Answer 9

You see how the Volume would be useful, but the Circumference? Wheels sale? Or some Circular objects? hmm....Again, I am really not sure...

Answer 10

are u a singaporean study girl?

Answer 11

Singaporean?

Answer 12

yeap

Answer 13

what's that?

Answer 14

Answer 17

i dunt wan ppl to cheat really since it is kinda unique

Answer 18

you're a teacher?

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20

I'm in 9th grade

Answer 21

no offense, but you don't really seem like a teacher.

Answer 22

What?! who doesn't sem like a teacher... what's going on here..?

Answer 23

ok so, this question is fairly simple.

Answer 24

first, u need differentiation which i supposed u have learnt in grade 9

Answer 25

@SolomonZelman , @trollswillrule is the teacher

Answer 26

Differentiation to show how is the use of Circumference and Volume can be practical in economics, I doubt that.

Answer 27

Discuss how surface area and volume play a role in marketing products, such as advantages and disadvantages. Give specific examples and include related information when appropriate, such as surface area, lateral area, cross section, etc. (This question is asking about how surface area AKA material required to make an container to volume ratio of a container)

Answer 28

u can find the optimum dimensions of any container using differentiation with the f'(x)=0, example, a cylinder's volume is rated as 2(pi)r^2 times height h with a set volume for example a container must contain 100cm cube of peanut butter

Answer 29

so u should then compare the different shapes of containers with the LEAST material used to obtain 100cm cube. for example, (pi)r^2*h=100 for cylinder, and area as 2pi(r)*h+2pi(r^2)

Answer 30

so if i rephrase this question a bit

Answer 31

And if u are still there

Answer 32

please do @trollswillrule

Answer 33

I am just 16, but to me it seems like an economic question too, and question in economics can not require differentiation because most people don't know it.

Answer 34

i can post the question as such : Determine the shape of a container that can house 100cm^3 of butter that requires the LEAST amount of material in its construction.

Answer 35

meaning finding a shape with the smallest surface area to volume ratio

Answer 36

Ah, I see. Because he least amount of surface area, but same volume means less materials, means less money to produce, right?

Answer 37

then you should be able to find that the sphere(shape) has the least area to volume ratio, but is economically bad as shelving it will mean that empty space will be in between and such

Answer 38

True. This has been helpful!!!

Answer 39

and also a shape with more (faces) have a smaller volume to surface ratio

Answer 40

if u want me to elaborate on the steps and detail and with regard to economics or math, u can pm me and i try to find my report for u

Answer 41

yes please @trollswillrule

Answer 42

ok. we begin with a cube. x^3=100 and 6x^2 as surface area

Answer 43

where 100 is the required volume of the container

Answer 44

we will realise that surface area will be \[\sqrt[3]{100}^{2}\]

Answer 45

I have to leave. Can you continue? I'll check it tomorrow. Thanks @trollswillrule and @SolomonZelman for all the help!!!

Answer 46

approx of 21.5443469cm^2

Answer 47

sure thing, i will insert in the essentials and u think of the advans and disadvans urself ok?
