A survey found that 3 out of 100 randomly selected people have red hair. How many people in a group of 12,000 randomly selected

people are likely to have red hair?

Answer:

360 people out of 1200 are likely to have red hair.

Step-by-step explanation:

So I just saw that 100 x 120 equals 1200. So I just need to multiply 3 x 120 and I got 360. I think this is how to solve?

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 4x - 6y = 8.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

$Slope=\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 6y = 8 ⇔ - 6y = -4x + 8 ⇔ y = 4/6x - 8/6 ⇔ y = 2/3x - 4/3

In rectangle $ABCD$, $AD=1$, $P$ is on $\overline{AB}$, and $\overline{DB}$ and $\overline{DP}$ trisect $\angle ADC$. Write the

Studentka2010 [4]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

w+x+y+z = 12

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

When right angle ADC is divided into three equal parts (trisected), each of those parts is 90°/3 = 30°. Thus, ∠CDB = ∠PBD = ∠PDB = 30°.

The sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle are in the proportion 1 : √3 : 2. Hence BD = 2, and PD = PB = 2/√3 = (2/3)√3.

Then the perimeter of ∆BDP is ...

... perimeter ∆BDP = BD + DP + PB

... = 2 + (2/3)√3 + (2/3)√3

... = 2 + (4√3)/3 . . . . . . . . w=2, x=4, y=3, z=3

w + x + y + z = 2+4+3+3 = 12

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle x= -\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle y= \frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle z = \frac{23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

<em>Maximum value of f=2.41</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Lagrange Multipliers</u>

It's a method to optimize (maximize or minimize) functions of more than one variable subject to equality restrictions.

Given a function of three variables f(x,y,z) and a restriction in the form of an equality g(x,y,z)=0, then we are interested in finding the values of x,y,z where both gradients are parallel, i.e.

$\bigtriangledown f=\lambda \bigtriangledown g$

for some scalar $\lambda$ called the Lagrange multiplier.

For more than one restriction, say g(x,y,z)=0 and h(x,y,z)=0, the Lagrange condition is

$\bigtriangledown f=\lambda \bigtriangledown g+\mu \bigtriangledown h$

The gradient of f is

$\bigtriangledown f=$

Considering each variable as independent we have three equations right from the Lagrange condition, plus one for each restriction, to form a 5x5 system of equations in $x,y,z,\lambda,\mu$ .

We have

$f(x, y, z) = x + 2y + 11z\\g(x, y, z) = x - y + z -1=0\\h(x, y, z) = x^2 + y^2 -1= 0$

Let's compute the partial derivatives

$f_x=1\ ,f_y=2\ ,f_z=11\ \\g_x=1\ ,g_y=-1\ ,g_z=1\\h_x=2x\ ,h_y=2y\ ,h_z=0$

The Lagrange condition leads to

$1=\lambda (1)+\mu (2x)\\2=\lambda (-1)+\mu (2y)\\11=\lambda (1)+\mu (0)$

Operating and simplifying

$1=\lambda+2x\mu\\2=-\lambda +2y\mu \\\lambda=11$

Replacing the value of $\lambda$ in the two first equations, we get

$1=11+2x\mu\\2=-11 +2y\mu$

From the first equation

$\displaystyle 2\mu=\frac{-10}{x}$

Replacing into the second

$\displaystyle 13=y\frac{-10}{x}$

Or, equivalently

$13x=-10y$

Squaring

$169x^2=100y^2$

To solve, we use the restriction h

$x^2 + y^2 = 1$

Multiplying by 100

$100x^2 + 100y^2 = 100$

Replacing the above condition

$100x^2 + 169x^2 = 100$

Solving for x

$\displaystyle x=\pm \frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}$

We compute the values of y by solving

$13x=-10y$

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{13x}{10}$

For

$\displaystyle x= \frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}$

$\displaystyle y= -\frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}$

And for

$\displaystyle x= -\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}$

$\displaystyle y= \frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}$

Finally, we get z using the other restriction

$x - y + z = 1$

Or:

$z = 1-x+y$

The first solution yields to

$\displaystyle z = 1-\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}-\frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}$

$\displaystyle z = \frac{-23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

And the second solution gives us

$\displaystyle z = 1+\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}+\frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}$

$\displaystyle z = \frac{23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

Complete first solution:

$\displaystyle x= \frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle y= -\frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle z = \frac{-23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

Replacing into f, we get

f(x,y,z)=-0.4

Complete second solution:

$\displaystyle x= -\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle y= \frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle z = \frac{23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

Replacing into f, we get

f(x,y,z)=2.4

The second solution maximizes f to 2.4
