Exit slip 5/3

1. It is necessary to combine two formulas in so that we can simplify our formulas, and find the surface area and the height,because we had to eliminate the height in the surface area function and leave the radius as the only independent variable. With this i found the minimum surface area r being the independent variable and SA being the dependent variable. The goal was simply to eliminate one out of two of the variables so we can one independent variable for the surface area.
2. I would need to combine the surface area formula along with the volume of a cylinder, i would need to know how to find my height, volume and surface area. I would need to know how to substitute values, divide, simplified as also justifying to apply it to me can i would also have to know my units. You need to simplify the the volume and surface area of a cylinder. Then you would also need to Solve for Height, so that you can substitute it into the surface area formula. When finishing with all of it you would need to Justify the steps it took to get the SA formula. Then you wouldn't , so you apply those and you DONE.

  1. 1. The goal is to eliminate one out of two independent variables, so that we only have one independent variable for the surface area function.

    2. Explain step by step.
