At which vertex is the objective function C=3x-4y minimized

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oliga [24]3 years ago

Options

(A) (9,0) (B) (-2,20) (C) (-5,2) (D) (0,-9)

Answer:

(B) (-2,20)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the objective function, C=3x-4y

The vertex at which C is minimized will be the point (x,y) at which the expression gives the lowest value.

<u>Option A </u>

At (9,0), x=9, y=0

C=3(9)-4(0)=27-0

C=27

<u>Option B </u>

At (-2,20), x=-2, y=20

C=3(-2)-4(20)=-6-80

C=-86

<u>Option C</u>

At (-5,2), x=-5, y=2

C=3(-5)-4(2)=-15-8

C=-23

<u>Option D </u>

At (0,-9), x=0, y=-9

C=3(0)-4(-9)=0+36

C=36

The lowest value of C is -86. This occurs at the vertex (-2,20).

Therefore, the objective function C=3x-4y is minimized at (-2,20).

What is true about the solution of x^2/2x-6=9/6x-18?
pogonyaev

Answer:

  • x = ±√3, and they are actual solutions
  • x = 3, but it is an extraneous solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The method often recommended for solving an equation of this sort is to multiply by the product of the denominators, then solve the resulting polynomial equation. When you do that, you get ...

... x^2(6x -18) = (2x -6)(9)

... 6x^2(x -3) -18(x -3) = 0

...6(x -3)(x^2 -3) = 0

... x = 3, x = ±√3

_____

Alternatively, you can subtract the right side of the equation and collect terms to get ...

... x^2/(2(x -3)) - 9/(6(x -3)) = 0

... (1/2)(x^2 -3)/(x -3) = 0

Here, the solution will be values of x that make the numerator zero:

... x = ±√3

_____

So, the actual solutions are x = ±3, and x = 3 is an extraneous solution. The value x=3 is actually excluded from the domain of the original equation, because the equation is undefined at that point.

_____

<em>Comment on the graph</em>

For the graph, we have rewritten the equation so it is of the form f(x)=0. The graphing program is able to highlight zero crossings, so this is a convenient form. When the equation is multiplied as described above, the resulting cubic has an extra zero-crossing at x=3 (blue curve). This is the extraneous solution.

(7)(8)(9)<br><br> Geometry<br><br> Check Ans<br><br> 7) s = 15<br> 8) y = 64 x = 99<br> 9) 96
Katyanochek1 [597]
Problem 7: Correct
Problem 8: Correct
Problem 9: Correct

The steps are below if you are curious

===========================================================================================

Problem 7

S = 180*(n-2)
2340 = 180*(n-2)
2340/180 = n-2
13 = n-2
n-2 = 13
n = 13+2
n = 15

I'm using n in place of lowercase s, but the idea is the same. If anything, it is better to use n for the number of sides since S already stands for the sum of the interior angles. I'm not sure why your teacher decided to swap things like that.

===========================================================================================

Problem 8

First find y
y+116 = 180
y+116-116 = 180-116
y = 64

which is then used to find x. The quadrilateral angles add up to 180*(n-2) = 180*(4-2) = 360 degrees
Add up the 4 angles, set the sum equal to 360, solve for x

x+y+125+72 = 360
x+64+125+72 = 360 ... substitution (plug in y = 64)
x+261 = 360
x+261-261 = 360-261
x = 99

===========================================================================================

Problem 9

With any polygon, the sum of the exterior angles is always 360 degrees

The first two exterior angles add to 264. The missing exterior angle is x
x+264 = 360
x+264-264 = 360-264
x = 96

If the measure of &lt;8 is 112 degrees, the the m&lt;6 = ?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

112 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 8 is 112 degrees, and 6 is opposite of 8, that means the measure of angle 6 is also 112 degrees
