I would say the answer is D, since the sample only shows that customers on Mondays were surveyed, and says nothing about other customers on different days.

Find the point(s) on the surface z^2 = xy 1 which are closest to the point (7, 11, 0)

leonid [27]

Let $P=(x,y,z)$ be an arbitrary point on the surface. The distance between $P$ and the given point $(7,11,0)$ is given by the function

$d(x,y,z)=\sqrt{(x-7)^2+(y-11)^2+z^2}$

Note that $f(x)$ and $f(x)^2$ attain their extrema, if they have any, at the same values of $x$ . This allows us to consider the modified distance function,

$d^*(x,y,z)=(x-7)^2+(y-11)^2+z^2$

So now you're minimizing $d^*(x,y,z)$ subject to the constraint $z^2=xy$ . This is a perfect candidate for applying the method of Lagrange multipliers.

The Lagrangian in this case would be

$\mathcal L(x,y,z,\lambda)=d^*(x,y,z)+\lambda(z^2-xy)$

which has partial derivatives

$\begin{cases}\dfrac{\mathrm d\mathcal L}{\mathrm dx}=2(x-7)-\lambda y\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm d\mathcal L}{\mathrm dy}=2(y-11)-\lambda x\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm d\mathcal L}{\mathrm dz}=2z+2\lambda z\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm d\mathcal L}{\mathrm d\lambda}=z^2-xy\end{cases}$

Setting all four equation equal to 0, you find from the third equation that either $z=0$ or $\lambda=-1$ . In the first case, you arrive at a possible critical point of $(0,0,0)$ . In the second, plugging $\lambda=-1$ into the first two equations gives

$\begin{cases}2(x-7)+y=0\\2(y-11)+x=0\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}2x+y=14\\x+2y=22\end{cases}\implies x=2,y=10$

and plugging these into the last equation gives

$z^2=20\implies z=\pm\sqrt{20}=\pm2\sqrt5$

So you have three potential points to check: $(0,0,0)$ , $(2,10,2\sqrt5)$ , and $(2,10,-2\sqrt5)$ . Evaluating either distance function (I use $d^*$ ), you find that

$d^*(0,0,0)=170$
$d^*(2,10,2\sqrt5)=46$
$d^*(2,10,-2\sqrt5)=46$

So the two points on the surface $z^2=xy$ closest to the point $(7,11,0)$ are $(2,10,\pm2\sqrt5)$ .
