The height of the cylindrical can is derived using the surface area formula for a cylinder with a lid, which is given by the formula 2πrh + πr^2 = 300 cm². Solving for h gives h = (150 - πr^2) / (πr).

To evaluate ∫x^2√(1+x^3) dx, substitution technique can be used. Let u = 1 + x^3, then du = 3x^2 dx. This transforms the integral into ∫(1/3)√u du, which can be integrated to yield 2/9 u^(3/2) + C .

To deduce the values of t and v, use the coordinates of points on the graph that satisfy the linear equation x + tx = vy. Substitute these coordinates into the equation to form simultaneous equations, which can be solved for t and v .

The area of the shaded region under y = sin(x) + sin(2x) is calculated by integrating the function between the given limits of x that define the shaded region. The definite integral of the function over this interval provides the shaded area .

To sketch y = 3sin(x) + 2cos(x) over 0 ≤ x ≤ π, first transform the function using the identity A * sin(x + θ), where A = √(3^2 + 2^2) and θ = arctan(2/3). Then plot key points such as maximum, minimum, and intercepts based on amplitude and phase shift. Use these to draw the waveform over the specified interval .

To find the radius and height that maximize the volume of the cylindrical can, the method of setting the derivative of the volume formula V = πr^2h with respect to r to zero and solving can be employed. The height from the surface area constraint h = (150 - πr^2) / (πr) can be substituted into the volume formula before taking the derivative .

To find the coordinates of point A on the curve y = sin(x) + sin(2x), differentiate the function to locate critical points where the derivative equals zero. Evaluate the original function at these critical points to determine the corresponding y-values, thus finding the coordinates .

The values of p, q, and r are determined by equating the expanded form of (p + qx)(1 - 3x)^5 to the given series 3 + rx + 300x^2. By comparing coefficients for corresponding powers of x, simultaneous equations can be formed and solved for p, q, and r .

To solve the inequality x−1/(4x^3) < 0, it involves finding the critical points by setting the expression equal to zero, and analyzing sign changes in the intervals formed by these points. Since the critical point here is x = 1, testing intervals around this point can determine where the inequality holds .

The relationship between a wire's resistance R and its diameter d is derived by fitting the given experimental data to the model R = a/d^2 + b. This involves forming a system of linear equations by plugging the data into the model and solving for the constants a and b using methods such as regression analysis or matrices .
