Ex: Optimization - Minimize the Cost to Make a Can with a Fixed Volume

[@jonpg6351]

for those wondering how to get minimum cost after done finding radius and height, plug in your radius into the cost function

[@thefifthcommander6799]

I've never felt so lost in math. I don't understand how to come up with these different functions for optimization problems from the words alone.

Thank you so much for this.... I looked everywhere to learn this.

[@commanderbly9246]

Thank you so much this helped me out more than you could imagine.

[@jadewentglobal]

How do you find the minimum cost(cents)????

[@chaeairsoft]

Im so confused because the cost of my material is written 0.01 cents per Cubic Centimeter and it is throwing me off

[@bradhunt3562]

As in only 1 cost for both materials?

[@chaeairsoft]

I figured it out eventually, but no I only had one material but the cost was in cubic centimeters not centimeters squared which was throwing it off

[@AlaskaBoyAlex]

Thanks so much man! Explained extremely well

[@rowanoroarty1612]

your value for r completely threw me off... the cube root of 24/0.2pi is around 7.224, not the value you got. I'm so confused about this and feel like I'm going crazy missing something. Did I make a calculating mistake???

[@rmoreno6511]

Is it possible to use a graphing utility ?

[@comradejules]

yeah you can just plug the modified cost equation into your calculator and find the min.

[@parkerhahn1953]

Thank you so much for your making this!

[@taran7649]

where is the minimum cost you get
