Work the following problems (NOTE: these are RELATED TO the corresponding page and problem
number from Gilat. Do NOT work the problems from the actual Lab Manual, or you will receive NO
CREDIT!)
1. g313x02: Determine the positive roots of the equation e−0.2x cos(2x) = 0.15x2 − 1.
2. g315x12: A paper cup shaped as a frustrum of a cone with r2 = 1.3r1 is designed to have a
volume of 240 cm3 . Determine r1 and the height of the cup such that the least amount of paper
will be used for making the cup.
