2. Let the height and radius of the cylinder be h and r, respectively. We know that V = πr²h = 1200 cm³. Since we want to minimize the cost, we need to minimize the surface area. The cost is given by C = 2πrh + 2πr²(1.6), where 1.6 is the height of the top and bottom circles. We can solve for h using the volume equation and substitute it into the cost equation to get C(r) = 3.2πr² + (2400/r). To minimize the cost, we need to take the derivative of C(r) and set it equal to zero. Solving for r, we get r = 8.193 cm.

3. Let x and y be the dimensions of the lot. We know that x*y = 625 m², and we want to minimize the perimeter P = 2x + 2y. We can use the AM-GM inequality to get x + y ≥ 2√(xy) = 50. Therefore, the minimum perimeter occurs when x = y = 25, and the total cost is P(50) = 50*50*50 = P5,000.
Answer: b. P5,000
4. Let s be the length of the side of the square, and let r be the radius of the circle. We know that s + 2πr = 14.283 cm, and we want to minimize the combined area A = s² + πr². We can solve for s in terms of r and substitute it into the area equation to get A(r) = 2πr² + (14.283-2πr)²/4. To minimize A, we need to take the derivative of A(r) and set it equal to zero. Solving for r, we get r = 3.28 cm, and s = 7.443 cm.

5. The distance from (3,0) to a point on the parabola y² = 4x is given by the distance formula, which is D = √[(x-3)² + y²]. We can solve for y in terms of x using the equation of the parabola, which is y² = 4x. Substituting this into the distance formula, we get D = √[(x-3)² + 4x]. To minimize D, we need to take the derivative of D(x) and set it equal to zero. Solving for x, we get x = 12/5. Substituting this back into the equation of the parabola to get y, we get y = ±24/5√5. Therefore, the shortest distance is D = 2√2.

6. We can rewrite the equation x² + xy + y² = 12 as (x/2)² + (x/2)y + (y/2)² = 3. We can let u = x/2 and v = y/2 to simplify the equation to u² + uv + v² = 3. We want to find the highest and lowest points on this curve, which occurs where the gradient is zero. Taking the partial derivatives with respect to u and v, we get u+v = 0 and u-v = 0, respectively. Solving for u and v, we get (u,v) = (±√3, ∓√3). Substituting these values back into the original equation to get (x,y), we get the highest point (2, -4) and the lowest point (-2, 4).
Answer: a. Highest: (2, -4) Lowest: (-2, 4)
7. Let the boatman land at a point D on the shore, where AD = x and BC = 9-x. We want to minimize the total time it takes to get from A to C, which is given by T = AD/6 + BC/7. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can E×ρréšš AD and BC in terms of x to get T(x) = √(x²+20.25)/6 + √((9-x)²+20.25)/7. To minimize T, we need to take the derivative of T(x) and set it equal to zero. Solving for x, we get x = 3 km.

8. Let the width and depth of the rectangular beam be w and d, respectively. We know that the strength S = wd², and we want to maximize S subject to the constraint that the beam is cut from a cylindrical log of radius a. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can E×ρréšš w and d in terms of a and h, where h is the height of the rectangular beam. Then, we can E×ρréšš S in terms of a and h to get S = a²h²/3. To maximize S, we need to take the derivative of S with respect to h and set it equal to zero. Solving for h, we get h = 2a/√3, and substituting this back into the equation for S, we get S = 4a²/3√3. Therefore, the dimensions of the strongest beam are width = 2a/√3 and depth = 2a/√3.
Answer: a. width = 2a/√3; depth = 2a/√3
9. Let r be the radius of the sector. We know that the area of the sector is 64 cm², so we can use the formula for the area of a sector A = ½r²θ, where θ is the central angle in radians. We can E×ρréšš the perimeter P in terms of r and θ to get P = 2r + rθ. Solving the area equation for θ and substituting it into the perimeter equation, we get P = 2r + 128/r. To minimize P, we need to take the derivative of P with respect to r and set it equal to zero. Solving for r, we get r = 5 cm.
Answer: a. 5 cm
10. Let x and y be the dimensions of the box, where x = 2y. We want to maximize the volume of the box, which is given by V = xy(192-4x). To maximize V, we need to take the derivative of V with respect to x and set it equal to zero. Solving for x, we get x = 32. Substituting this back into the equation for y, we get y = 16. Therefore, the dimensions of the box are 3 in x 7 in x 8.33 in.
Answer: a. 3 in x 7 in x 8.33 in
11. The surface area of a sphere is given by A = 4πr², and the rate of change of the radius is dr/dt = 2 cm/s. Using the chain rule, we can E×ρréšš dA/dt in terms of dr/dt to get dA/dt = 8πr(dr/dt). Substituting r = 25 cm and dr/dt = 2 cm/s, we get dA/dt = 1256.64 cm²/min.
Answer: a. 1256.64
12. Let the balloon be at point B and the man be at point A. Let C be the point where the balloon is when it is 40 ft away from A. Let x be the distance from C to B. We want to find dx/dt when x = 30 ft. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can E×ρréšš the distance from A to C in terms of x to get AC = √(40²-x²). The time it takes to travel from A to C is given by T1 = AC/15, and the time it takes to travel from C to B is given by T2 = (x+30)/10. The total time is T = T1 + T2. To minimize T, we need to take the derivative of T with respect to x and set it equal to zero. Solving for x, we get x = 18 ft. Substituting this back into the equation for T2 to get dx/dt, we get dx/dt = 14 ft/s.
Answer: b. 14 ft/sec
13. Let x and y be the distances of the two trains from the crossing. We want to find dy/dt when x = 100 km and y = 150 km. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can E×ρréšš the distance between the two trains in terms of x and y to get D = √(x²+y²). Taking the derivative of D with respect to time, we get dD/dt = (x*dx/dt + y*dy/dt)/D. Since the two trains are approaching each other, x and y are decreasing, so dx/dt = -50 kph and dy/dt < 0. Substituting x = 100 km, y = 150 km, and dx/dt = -50 kph into the equation for dD/dt and solving for dy/dt, we get dy/dt = -61.07 kph.
Answer: d. 61.07 kph
14. Let x be the distance the man has walked from the start of the bridge. Let y be the distance of the boat from the start of the bridge. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can E×ρréšš the distance between the man and the boat as D = √(x²+100+y²). Taking the derivative of D with respect to time, we get dD/dt = (x*dx/dt + y*dy/dt)/D. Since the man is walking at a constant rate, dx/dt = 5 ft/s. The boat is moving to the right, so dy/dt = 10 ft/s. Substituting x = 5 t, y = 10 t, dx/dt = 5 ft/s, and dy/dt = 10 ft/s into the equation for dD/dt and solving for t = 1, we get dD/dt = 9.33 ft/s.
Answer: b. 9.33 ft/s
