Math Problem Statement
Q1. [Maximum Marks: 6] A cylindrical container is to be constructed with a closed base but no top. The container must hold 1000 cubic centimeters of liquid. (a) Write an expression for the surface area of the container in terms of the radius r of the base. (b) Use calculus to determine the dimensions of the container (radius anc height) that minimize the surface area. (c) What is the minimum surface area of the container?
