The Lagrangian

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda(x^4+y^4+z^4-13)$

has critical points where the first derivatives vanish:

$L_x=2x+4\lambda x^3=2x(1+2\lambda x^2)=0\implies x=0\text{ or }x^2=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}$

$L_y=2y+4\lambda y^3=2y(1+2\lambda y^2)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }y^2=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}$

$L_z=2z+4\lambda z^3=2z(1+2\lambda z^2)=0\implies z=0\text{ or }z^2=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}$

$L_\lambda=x^4+y^4+z^4-13=0$

We can't have $x=y=z=0$ , since that contradicts the last condition.

(0 critical points)

If two of them are zero, then the remaining variable has two possible values of $\pm\sqrt[4]{13}$ . For example, if $y=z=0$ , then $x^4=13\implies x=\pm\sqrt[4]{13}$ .

(6 critical points; 2 for each non-zero variable)

If only one of them is zero, then the squares of the remaining variables are equal and we would find $\lambda=-\frac1{\sqrt{26}}$ (taking the negative root because $x^2,y^2,z^2$ must be non-negative), and we can immediately find the critical points from there. For example, if $z=0$ , then $x^4+y^4=13$ . If both $x,y$ are non-zero, then $x^2=y^2=-\frac1{2\lambda}$ , and

$xL_x+yL_y=2(x^2+y^2)+52\lambda=-\dfrac2\lambda+52\lambda=0\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt{26}}$

$\implies x^2=\sqrt{\dfrac{13}2}\implies x=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2}$

and for either choice of $x$ , we can independently choose from $y=\pm\sqrt[4]{\frac{13}2}$ .

(12 critical points; 3 ways of picking one variable to be zero, and 4 choices of sign for the remaining two variables)

If none of the variables are zero, then $x^2=y^2=z^2=-\frac1{2\lambda}$ . We have

$xL_x+yL_y+zL_z=2(x^2+y^2+z^2)+52\lambda=-\dfrac3\lambda+52\lambda=0\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{39}}{26}$

$\implies x^2=\sqrt{\dfrac{13}3}\implies x=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3}$

and similary $y,z$ have the same solutions whose signs can be picked independently of one another.

(8 critical points)

Now evaluate $f$ at each critical point; you should end up with a maximum value of $\sqrt{39}$ and a minimum value of $\sqrt{13}$ (both occurring at various critical points).

Here's a comprehensive list of all the critical points we found:

$(\sqrt[4]{13},0,0)$

$(-\sqrt[4]{13},0,0)$

$(0,\sqrt[4]{13},0)$

$(0,-\sqrt[4]{13},0)$

$(0,0,\sqrt[4]{13})$

$(0,0,-\sqrt[4]{13})$

$\left(\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2},\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2},0\right)$

$\left(\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2},-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2},0\right)$

$\left(-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2},\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2},0\right)$

$\left(-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2},-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2},0\right)$

$\left(\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2},0,\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2}\right)$

There are 1,023 M&M's in a bag. Out of 1,023 M&M's, 132 M&M's are blue, 69 are green, 68 are brown, 63 are olive, 62

lesantik [10]

The probability that the person pulls 1 blue M&M given that one is only allowed to pull 5 random M&M's per day will be 0.6450.

<h3>How to calculate probability?</h3>

From the information given, there are 1,023 M&M's in a bag and out of 1,023 M&M's, 132 M&M's are blue.

Therefore, the probability of getting a blue M&M will be:

= 132/1023

= 0.1290

Therefore, since the person is given the chance to pull 5 random M&M's per day, the probability will be:

= 0.1290 × 5

= 0.6450

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

x = $2\dfrac{3}{7}$

Explanation:

$\hookrightarrow 35.1 = 12.9 + 10.2x$

$\hookrightarrow 10.2x = 35.1 - 12.9$

$\hookrightarrow \dboxed{10.2x = 22.2}$

$\hookrightarrow x =\dfrac{22.2}{10.2}$ * 5

$\hookrightarrow x = \dfrac{111}{51}$

$\hookrightarrow x = \dfrac{37}{17}$

$\hookrightarrow x = 2\dfrac{3}{7}$
