Lagrange multipliers:

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=xy^2z^2+\lambda(x+y+z-5)

L_x=y^2z^2+\lambda=0
L_y=2xyz^2+\lambda=0
L_z=2xy^2z+\lambda=0
L_\lambda=x+y+z-5=0

\lambda=-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z

-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2\implies y=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-y^2z^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=y (if x,y,z\neq0)

In the first octant, we assume x,y,z>0, so we can ignore the caveats above. Now,

x+y+z=5\iff x+2x+2x=5x=5\implies x=1\implies y=z=2

so that the only critical point in the region of interest is (1, 2, 2), for which we get a maximum value of f(1,2,2)=16.

We also need to check the boundary of the region, i.e. the intersection of x+y+z=5 with the three coordinate axes. But in each case, we would end up setting at least one of the variables to 0, which would force f(x,y,z)=0, so the point we found is the only extremum.

The equation 2(5+7) = (2•5) + (2•7) illustrates what property?
wel

In this question, you're trying to figure out what property is being represented.

Your answer would be the Distributive Property

This is your answer because as you can see, you are "distributing" the 2 to the variables inside the parenthesis.

When you distribute the number, you would be multiplying, in which in this case there is multiplication.

Therefore, Distributive property would be the correct answer.

Which of the following is equivalent to the complex number i24?
Alika [10]

Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite as (i^4)^6

Rewrite i^4 as 1

Rewrite i^4 as (i^2) ^2

((i^2)) ^2)6

Rewrite i^2 as -1

((-1) ^2) 6

Raise -1 to the power of 2

1^6

One to any power is 1.

Astronomers treat the number of stars in a given volume of space as a Poisson random variable. The density in the Milky Way Gala
umka21 [38]

Answer:

a) 0.264

b) 48 cubit light-years

Step-by-step explanation:

For calculating a)  What is the probability of 3 or more stars in 16 cubic light years?

a)

λ= 1 star/16 cubic light-years

t= measure t in units of 16 cubic light years.

E(Y) = λ t = (1/16)(16) = 1 star

P(X>=2) = 1 - P(X<2)

= 1 - [e^-1 + (e^-1)(1)/1!]

= 0.264

b)

P(X≥1) = 1 - P(X=0)

= 1 - e^-μ

0.95 = 1 - e^-μ

e^-μ = 1 - 0.95

e^-μ = 0.05

ln(e^-μ) = ln(0.05)

-μ = -3

μ = 3

Therefore  3 x 16 = 48 cubic light years of space

Give the slope between the points<br> (2,5) (14,-4)
andrezito [222]

Answer:

-\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope

(2, 5) and (14, -4)

_______________

When we solve for slope within two points, we have to follow the formula of slope.

\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}

X and Y - The first and second number in both points

1 and 2 - The first or second number within one point

Substitute :

\frac{-4-5}{14-2}

\frac{-9}{12}

Simplify :

-\frac{3}{4}
