1. Find the radius of the cone's base in terms of $\theta$.
Let r be the base radius of the cone.
The arc length of the sector becomes the circumference of the cone's base. 2πr=4πθ r=2θ
2. Express the height of the cone in terms of $\theta$.
The radius of the sector becomes the slant height of the cone, so l=4π.
Using Pythagoras' theorem for the height h of the cone: h=l2−r2=(4π)2−(2θ)2 h=16π2−4θ2=24π2−θ2
3. Formulate and simplify the volume of the cone to prove the given expression.
V=31πr2h V=31π(2θ)2(24π2−θ2) V=38πθ24π2−θ2
Bringing θ2 inside the square root as θ4: V=38πθ4(4π2−θ2) V=38π4π2θ4−θ6 cm3 (Shown)
4. Differentiate the expression inside the square root to find stationary values.
Let the expression inside the square root be u=4π2θ4−θ6.
To maximise V, we just need to maximise u, as V is an increasing function of u for u>0. dθdu=16π2θ3−6θ5
For a stationary value, set dθdu=0: 2θ3(8π2−3θ2)=0
Since θ>0, θ3=0, so: 8π2−3θ2=0⟹θ2=38π2
5. Verify that this stationary value gives a maximum volume.
Using the second derivative test on u: dθ2d2u=48π2θ2−30θ4
Substitute θ2=38π2: dθ2d2u=48π2(38π2)−30(38π2)2 dθ2d2u=128π4−30(964π4)=128π4−3640π4=−3256π4
Since dθ2d2u<0, u (and hence V) is a maximum when θ2=38π2.
6. Substitute the value of $\theta^2$ back into $V$ to find $p$ and $q$.
Substitute θ2=38π2 into the equation for V: Vmax=38π4π2(38π2)2−(38π2)3 Vmax=38π4π2(964π4)−27512π6 Vmax=38π9256π6−27512π6=38π27768π6−512π6 Vmax=38π27256π6=38π(3316π3) Vmax=93128π4=271283π4
Comparing with qp3π4, we obtain: p=128 and q=27.
