Algebra...

Can anyone tell me how to get the answer to this problem..? lol

S= 2(3.14)rh +2(3.14) r squared , For H

Thanks

[Tuffbroadhead]

Only thing in that that I understand in that is "I like PIE", LOL!! Sorry I'm not much help..

[kfd82]

Math is WRONG! Pie are round!

[Johnny Dangerr]

HAY HAY HAY nothing that requires brain power here please.

Another way of saying don't make us feel dumber.

[gravesc987]

What is S, and also by 3.14 do you mean pi

[bcdawg1]

H = (S - 2*(3.14)*r squared) / 2*3.14*r

the formula for surface area of a solid cylinder

gotta have 2 of the variables to get the third

[bowhntrmatt]

You have too many variables to solve for only one. I'm guessing this is some sorta surface area formula or something. All I could do is try to simplify it in terms of H:

2(3.14)h=[2(3.14)r squared-S ]/r

Geez it looks more complicated than it started now, but if you put up some particular numbers instead of variables it would be way easier.

[EdO]

It's been years, but try

[S/2(3.14r)] - r = h
or
[S/6.28(2r)] -r = h

(they're the same)

[Browning2008]

3.14= pie the symbol. it stays in letter/symbol form I have no variables.

Answers:

a) looks like calculus not algebra

b) equation wants the surface area of a sphere

c) who really even cares

d) all of the above



I'm going with D

It's not calculus- that's what dentists call the yellowish crud you get on your teeth and hygienists scrape off.Plus no differential or integral symbols. My ****s are already starting to ache thinking about calc and differential equations.

6 and 8 are both correct. 7 it does not matter how many variables H is a function of, in this case it's 2.

[Poppy]

Yea! what Bill said

[bowhntrmatt]

I am assuming that H is the height of something, so the formula isn't for the surface area of a sphere, which is 4*pie*r squared. I didn't say that it mattered how many variables H is a function of. What I meant was to sovle this and get a real number for H, you must eliminate other variables, otherwise you will just get other equations of H with the other variables still in them.

[PEC]

H = (S - 2*(3.14)*r squared) / 2*3.14*r

X2 this is what you are looking for I believe. It is solve for H.

[Bill]

Surface is are if a function of 2 variables- the height and the radius of the cylinder. Solving for H, it is a function of the surface area and the radius. Are we saying the same thing?

Pi are round, not square!
