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.

Option A

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

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

C=27

Option B

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

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

C=-86

Option C

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

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

C=-23

Option D

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).

Answer: $8\sqrt{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2^4\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$2^{\frac{7}{2}}\sqrt{3}$

$2^{\frac{7}{2}}=2^{3+\frac{1}{2}}$

$2^3\cdot \:2^{\frac{1}{2}}$ =

$2^3\sqrt{2}$

= $2^3\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}$ =

$2^3\sqrt{2\cdot \:3}$

= $2^3\sqrt{6}$

$2^3=8$

Answer- $8\sqrt{6}$

sin2x =12/13

cos2x = 5/13

tan2x = 12/5

STEP - BY - STEP EXPLANATION

What to find?

• sin2x

• cos2x

• tan2x

Given:

tanx = 2/3 = opposite / adjacent

We need to first make a sketch of the given problem.

Let h be the hypotenuse.

We need to find sinx and cos x, but to find sinx and cosx, first determine the value of h.

Using the Pythagoras theorem;

hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²

h² = 2² + 3²

h² = 4 + 9

h² =13

Take the square root of both-side of the equation.

h =√13

This implies that hypotenuse = √13

We can now proceed to find the values of ainx and cosx.

Using the trigonometric ratio;

$\sin x=\frac{opposite}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt[]{13}}$ $\cos x=\frac{adjacent}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\frac{3}{\sqrt[]{13}}$

And we know that tanx =2/3

From the trigonometric identity;

sin 2x = 2sinxcosx

Substitute the value of sinx , cosx and then simplify.

$\sin 2x=2(\frac{2}{\sqrt[]{13}})(\frac{3}{\sqrt[]{13}})$ $=\frac{12}{13}$

Hence, sin2x = 12/13

cos2x = cos²x - sin²x

Substitute the value of cosx, sinx and simplify.

$\begin{gathered} \cos 2x=(\frac{3}{\sqrt[]{13}})^2-(\frac{2}{\sqrt[]{13}})^2 \\ \\ =\frac{9}{13}-\frac{4}{13} \\ =\frac{5}{13} \end{gathered}$

Hence, cos2x = 5/13

tan2x = 2tanx / 1- tan²x

$\tan 2x=\frac{2\tan x}{1-\tan ^2x}$ $=\frac{2(\frac{2}{3})}{1-(\frac{2}{3})^2}$ $=\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{1-\frac{4}{9}}$ $=\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{\frac{9-4}{9}}$ $=\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{\frac{5}{9}}$ $=\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{9}{5}=\frac{4}{1}\times\frac{3}{5}=\frac{12}{5}$

$\tan 2x=\frac{\sin 2x}{\cos 2x}=\frac{\frac{12}{13}}{\frac{5}{13}}=\frac{12}{5}$

Hence, tan2x = 12/5

Therefore,

sin2x =12/13

cos2x = 5/13

tan2x = 12/5
