In this question all lengths are in centimetres.
(i)
A closed cylinder has base radius rr, height hh and volume VV. It is given that the total surface area of the cylinder is 600π600\pi and that VV, rr and hh can vary. Show that V=300πrπr3V = 300\pi r - \pi r^{3}.
[3]
(ii)
Find the stationary value of VV and determine its nature.
