i have to find the minimum Radius and Area using two equations:
V = 1/3 * pi*r^2*h and A = pi*r*sqrt(r^2 + h^2)
first i had to find area without using h, so i solved V for h, then substituted
A = pi*r*sqrt(r^2 + V/((1/3)*pi*r^2))
I then had to make a live function detailing this, using V as a global V
function A = area
global V = 10 % constant volume in in^3
r = radius; % changing radius in inches
A = pi*r*sqrt(r^2 + V/((1/3)*pi*r^2));
end
my next step was to find the minimum r and area
[rmin,Amin] = fminbnd(@area, 0.5, 5)
this got me two error messages
- Incorrect use of '=' in the live function
- error in fminbnd : x= xf; fx = funfcn(x, varargin{:})
How do i fix these errors?
