A silo (base not included) is to be constructed in the form of a cylider surmounted by a hemisphere. The cost of construction per square unit of the surface area is 6 times as great for the hemisphere as it is for the cylindrical sidewall. Determine the dimensions to be used if the volume is fixed at 12000 cubic units and the cost of construction is to be kept to a minimum. Neglect the thickness of the silo and waste in construction. What is the function of the cost of the silo, C, in terms of the radius, r? C= ________ (type an expression, type an exact answer,  using pi as needed) The radius of the cylindrical base (and of the hemisphere) is ___ ft. (round to nearest tenth) The height of the cylindrical base is ___ ft. (round to nearest tenth)

Question

A silo (base not included) is to be constructed in the form of a cylider surmounted by a hemisphere. The cost of construction per square unit of the surface area is 6 times as great for the hemisphere as it is for the cylindrical sidewall. Determine the dimensions to be used if the volume is fixed at 12000 cubic units and the cost of construction is to be kept to a minimum. Neglect the thickness of the silo and waste in construction.

What is the function of the cost of the silo, C, in terms of the radius, r?

C= ________ (type an expression, type an exact answer,  using pi as needed)

The radius of the cylindrical base (and of the hemisphere) is ___ ft. (round to nearest tenth)

The height of the cylindrical base is ___ ft. (round to nearest tenth)
