Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the given variable , we need to get
on one side of the equation by itself. To do so, we need to remove the -16 that is on the same side of the variable.
To get rid of the -16, we can add a 16 to that side of the equation since , which will get
by itself; however, if we add -16 to one side of the equation, we must add it to both sides of the equation:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
a = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
A stationary point is where the function derivative is zero. Here, we have ...
y' = 2kx -16/x^2 = 0
For x = 2/3, this is ...
4/3k -16/(4/9) = 0
4/3k = 36
k = 27
Then the value of y at that point is ...
y = 27(2/3)^2 + 16/(2/3) = 12 +24 = 36
The stationary point of interest is (2/3, a) = (2/3, 36). a = 36.
