In order to find the three possibilities, you must first think of common factors between 30 and 12:

Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

We can find three common factors between the two numbers: 2, 3, and 6. So these are three widths that we can use. The length can be found by factoring out the numbers from 30+12x (we can't factor out x):

30+12x=2(15+6x) Width: 2 Length: 15+6x

20+12x=3(10+4x) Width: 3 Length: 10+4x

20+12x=6(5+2x) Width: 6 Length: 5+2x

I need help with this, please! I need to solve this using inverse operation to isolate the variable.

Otrada [13]

Since the inverse property of subtraction is addition, wouldn’t you add n on both sides so then the value of n=0?

The Ace Novelty company produces two souvenirs: Type A and Type B. The number of Type A souvenirs, x, and the number of Type B s

Molodets [167]

Answer:

500 type A; 3500 type B

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of Lagrange multipliers can solve this quickly. For objective function f(x, y) and constraint function g(x, y)=0 we can set the partial derivatives of the Lagrangian to zero to find the values of the variables at the extreme of interest.

These functions are ...

$f(x,y)=4x+2y\\g(x,y)=2x^2+y-4$

The Lagrangian is ...

$\mathcal{L}(x,y,\lambda)=f(x,y)+\lambda g(x,y)\\\\\text{and the partial derivatives are ...}\\\\\dfrac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial x}=\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}+\lambda\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial x}=4+\lambda (4x)=0\ \implies\ x=\dfrac{-1}{\lambda}\\\\\dfrac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}+\lambda\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=2+\lambda (1)=0\ \implies\ \lambda=-2$

$\dfrac{\partial\mathcal{L}}{\partial\lambda}=\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial\lambda}+\lambda\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial\lambda}=0+2x^2+y-4=0\ \implies\ y=4-2x^2\\\\\text{We know $\lambda$, so we can find x and y:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-1}{-2}=0.5\\\\y=4-2\cdot 0.5^2=3.5$

Since x and y are in thousands, maximum profit is to be had when the company produces ...

500 Type A souvenirs, and 3500 Type B souvenirs
