Find the points on the surface y2 = 25 + xz that are closest to the origin.

You are essentially minimizing x^2+y^2+z^2 subject to y^2=25+xz. (The distance between the origin and any point (x,y,z) on the given surface is \sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}, but \sqrt{\mathrm{func}} and \mathrm{func} share the same critical points.)

Via Lagrange multipliers, we have Lagrangian

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda(y^2-xz-25)

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)

L_x=2x-\lambda z=0\implies 2x=\lambda z
L_y=2y+2\lambda y=0\implies y(1+\lambda)=0
L_z=2z-\lambda x=0\implies 2z=\lambda x
L_\lambda=y^2-xz-25=0\implies y^2=xz+25

L_x=0\implies zL_x=0\implies 2xz=\lambda z^2
L_z=0\implies xL_z=0\implies 2xz=\lambda x^2
zL_x-xL_z=\lambda(z^2-x^2)=0

We assume \lambda\neq0, which means z^2=x^2\implies |z|=|x|.

L_y=0\implies y(1+\lambda)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }\lambda=-1

In the first case, we have

y^2=25+xz\implies -xz=25

which means one of x,z must be positive, and the other is negative. From |x|=|z| we have x=-z, so

-(-z)z=z^2=25\implies z=\pm5\implies x=\mp5

So we get two critical points, (-5, 0, 5) and (5, 0, -5).

In the second case, if \lambda=-1, we get

\begin{cases}2x=-z\\2z=-x\end{cases}\implies x=z=0

which leads us to

y^2=25\implies y=\pm5

i.e. we have two additional critical points (0, 5, 0) and (0, -5, 0).

At each of these points, we get respective distances from the origin of \{5\sqrt2,5\sqrt2,5,5\}, so the two closest points to the origin on the surface y^2=25+xz are (0, 5, 0) and (0, -5, 0).

Answer:

29.24

Step-by-step explanation:

p= 27

b= 48

now finding the value of x,

tanx°= p/b

=27/48

=0.56

now,

x°= tan-¹ 0.56

= 29.24

Answer:

How to factor out a polynomial with a 3rd degree-• well here is a For example, let G(x) = 7x³ – 125. Then factoring this third degree polynomial relieve on a differences of cubes as follows: (2x – 5) (4x² + 20x + 25), where ²x is the cube-root of 8x³ and 5 is the cube-root of 1256
