Largest possible volume of a cylinder inscribed in a sphere (KristaKingMath)

► My Applications of Derivatives course: https://www.kristakingmath.com/applic... "Find the largest possible volume of a right circular cylinder that can be inscribed in a sphere with radius r." Learn how to find the largest possible volume of a cylinder inscribed in a sphere with radius r. To solve this optimization problem, draw a picture of the problem and label all parts of the diagram, then write down everything you know. Next, identify optimization and constraint equations. The optimization equation will be the equation for the volume of the cylinder, since the goal is to maximize the volume of the cylinder. The constraint equation will include the variable that constrains you. In this case, the constraint equation will be the equation for the radius of the sphere. Solve the constraint equation for one of the variables, and then plug the result into the optimization equation. Then simplify the optimization equation, take its derivative, and set it equal to zero. Solve for the variable, and then plug that back into the equation for the volume of the cylinder to find the largest possible volume of the cylinder that can be inscribed in a sphere with radius r. ● ● ● GET EXTRA HELP ● ● ● If you could use some extra help with your math class, then check out Krista’s website // http://www.kristakingmath.com ● ● ● CONNECT WITH KRISTA ● ● ● Hi, I’m Krista! I make math courses to keep you from banging your head against the wall. ;) Math class was always so frustrating for me. I’d go to a class, spend hours on homework, and three days later have an “Ah-ha!” moment about how the problems worked that could have slashed my homework time in half. I’d think, “WHY didn’t my teacher just tell me this in the first place?!” So I started tutoring to keep other people out of the same aggravating, time-sucking cycle. Since then, I’ve recorded tons of videos and written out cheat-sheet style notes and formula sheets to help every math student—from basic middle school classes to advanced college calculus—figure out what’s going on, understand the important concepts, and pass their classes, once and for all.
