Homework Statement



A right circular cone has base radius , r and height h . As r and h vary its curved surface area is kept constant . Show that its volume is a maximum when r=r\sqrt{2}h

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



A= pi r^2 + pi r root(r^2+h^2)

V=1/3 pi r^2 h

what is m?
<br /> r=r\sqrt{2}h<br />
means: <br /> 1=h\sqrt{2}<br /> ? and h=0.707 ?

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
