x=8 and y=8 are the two positive integers whose sum is 16 and sum of their squares is minimum.

What is optimum value ?

The optimum value is a minimum or maximum value of the objective function over the feasible region of an optimization problem.

If a function is strictly increasing in a definite interval and increases up to a fixed value and after this, it starts decreasing, then that point is called maximum point of the function and value of function at that point is called maximum value.

If a function is strictly decreasing in a definite interval and decreases up to a fixed value and after this, it starts increasing, then that points is called minimum point of the function and the value of function at that point is called minimum value.

Conditions for finding maxima and minima

The conditions for maxima and minima for a function y=f(x) at a point x=a  are as follow:

1. Necessary condition

for maxima and minima, the necessary condition is

f'(x)=\frac{dy}{dx}

2.Suffiecient condition

for maxima and minima, the  necessary condition are

for maximum value

at x=a,\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} should be negative.

for minimum value

at x=a, \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} should be positive.

The sum of two positive number is 16.

We have to find the maximum and minimum value for the sum of their squares.

The sum of two positive number is 16.

let the number be x and y, such that x > 0 and y > 0

sum of the number is x+y=16

sum of squares of the number S=x^2+y^2

x+y=16\\y=16-x ----------1\\S=x^2+y^2\\S=x^2+(16-x)^2-----------2after substituting the value of y from equation 1

for finding the maximum and minimum of given function we can find it by differentiating the function with x<em> </em>equal it to 0

Differentiate the equation 2

\frac{dS}{dx} =\frac{d}{dx}[x^2+(16-x)^2]\\\frac{dS}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(x^2)+\frac{d}{dx}(16-x^2)\\ \frac{dS}{dx}=2x+2(16-x)(-1)---------3

Now equating the first derivative equal to zero

so, \frac{dS}{dx}=0

2x+2(16-x)(-1)=0\\2x-2(16-x)=0\\2x-32+2x=0\\4x-32=0\\4x=32\\x=\frac{32}{4}=8

As x > 0, x=8

Now, for checking if the value of S is minimum or maximum at x=8, we will perform the second derivative of S with respect to x

\frac{d^2S}{dx^2}=\frac{d}{dx}[2x+2(16-x)(-1)]\\\frac{d^2S}{dx^2}=\frac{d}{dx}[2x-2(16-x)]\\\frac{d^2S}{dx^2}=\frac{d}{dx}(2x)-2\frac{d}{dx}(16-x)\\\frac{d^2S}{dx^2}=2-2(0-1)\\\frac{d^2S}{dx^2}=2-0+2=4\\\frac{d^2S}{dx^2}=4

According to the sufficient condition if the second derivative is positive then the value is minimum

hence for x=8 will be the minimum point of the function S.

Therefore the function S sum of squares of the two number is minimum at x=8

from equation 1

y=16-x\\y=16-8\\y=8

Therefore , x=8 and y=8 are the two positive numbers whose sum is 16 and the sum of their squares is minimum.

Answer:

It takes 500 seconds for sunlight to reach Earth.

The mass of the sun is 18.98 * 10^28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) In order to solve problem number one, you would need to divide. Remember, in math in order to get from the smaller unit to the bigger unit, you divide.

Step 2) In this case, the smaller unit is the distance from the sun to earth. The bigger unit in the other hand, is the speed of light.

Step 3) 1.5 * 10^11/300,000,000 = 500

Answer: It takes 500 seconds for sunlight to reach Earth.

—

Step 1) In order to solve problem number 2, convert 26,000,000 in scientific notation which is 2.6 * 10^7.

Step 2) Now, multiply the mass of the sun by the mass of the moon.

(7.3*10^22) * (2.6 * 10^7)

Step 3) Note: whenver you multiply with exponents, you must always add them, the base remains the same.

10^22 + 10^7 = 10^29

7.3 * 2.6 = 18.98

Answer: To conclude, the mass of the sun is 18.98 * 10^28.

Answer:

Hello,

in order to simplify, i have taken the inverses functions

Step-by-step explanation:

\int\limits^\frac{1}{2} _{-1} {(-2x^2-x+1)} \, dx \\\\=[\frac{-2x^3}{3} -\frac{x^2}{2} +x]^\frac{1}{2} _{-1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{-2-3+12}{24} -\dfrac{-5}{6} \\\\\boxed{=\dfrac{9}{8} =1.25}\\
