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).

Chris entered a hot dog eating contest. The table shows how many hot dogs remained in his tray at different times.
babymother [125]
The hot dogs remaining are decreasing by 11 as 2 minutes go by.

11 / 2 = 5.5

So he's eating 5.5 hot dogs per minute.

What is an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the points (1 -3) and (3 1)
Bas_tet [7]
Answer:
y = 2x - 5

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form formula:
y = mx + b
For this formula we need the slope to find the slope use the slope formula:
\frac{y_{2} - y}{x_{2} - x}
Plug in the two points (1,-3) and (3,1)
\frac{1 - - 3}{3 - 1}
\frac{4}{2}
=2
the slope is 2

Now use the slope-interpect formula and plug in the slope (m)
y = 2x + b
plug in one point I'll use (3,1)
1 = 2(3) + b
1 = 6 +b
1-6=6-6+b
-5 = b

The equation would be:
y = 2x - 5

B) In a box of 10 oranges, 3 are bad. If two oranges are drawn at random one after the other
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A,B, and C be the respective events that the first, second, and third drawn orange is good.

Therefore, probability that first drawn orange is good, P(A)=

15

12

​

The oranges are not replaced.

Therefore, probability of getting second orange good, P(B)=

14

11

​

Similarly, probability of getting third orange good, P(C)=

13

10

​

The box is approved for sale if all the three oranges are good.

Thus, probability of getting all the oranges good =

15

12

​

×

14

11

​

×

13

10

​

=

91

44

​

=0.48

Therefore, the probability that the box is approved for sale is 0.48
