  1. The standard formulae for the volume \(V\) and total surface area \(A\) of a solid cylinder of radius \(r\) and height \(h\) are $$V = \pi r ^ { 2 } h \quad \text { and } \quad A = 2 \pi r ^ { 2 } + 2 \pi r h .$$ Use these to show that, for a cylinder with \(A = 200\), $$V = 100 r - \pi r ^ { 3 }$$
  2. Find \(\frac { \mathrm { d } V } { \mathrm {~d} r }\) and \(\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } V } { \mathrm {~d} r ^ { 2 } }\).
  3. Use calculus to find the value of \(r\) that gives a maximum value for \(V\) and hence find this maximum value, giving your answers correct to 3 significant figures.
