Spherical caps The volume of the cap of a sphere of radius r and thickness h is
a. Compute the partial derivatives Vh and Vr.
b. For a sphere of any radius, is the rate of change of volume with respect to r greater when h = 0.2r or when h = 0.8r?
c. For a sphere of any radius, for what value of h is the rate of change of volume with respect to r equal to 1?
d. For a fixed radius r, for what value of h (0 ≤ h ≤ 2r) is the rate of change of volume with respect to h the greatest?

- A soda can has a volume of 25 cubic inches. Let x denote its radius and h its height, both in inches. a. Using the fact that the volume of the can is 25 cubic inches, express h in terms of x. b. Express the total surface area S of the can in terms of x.arrow_forwardFind the constant of proportionality. z is directly proportional to the sum of x and y. If x=2 and y=5, then z=28.arrow_forward
