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)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

\left(\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3}\right)

\left(\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3}\right)

\left(\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3}\right)

\left(-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3}\right)

\left(\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3}\right)

\left(-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3}\right)

\left(-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3}\right)

\left(-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3},-\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3}\right)

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x+3y=-15 that passes through the origin
Monica [59]
You would subtract x from each side. It would then be 3y=-x-15. Then you would divide all of the equation by 3. Your final answer would be y=-3x-5.

In the diagram below, A8 is parallel to CD. What is the value of y? Help me
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

C. 108

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are known as same-side interior angles. They are supplementary angles so their sum is 180°.

y+72=180\\y+72-72=180-72\\y=108
