Pls help and explain it how i do i this <3

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

You input the equation they give you into the table to get an outcome. The Equation they gave you is x=y. simply, what ever X is, thats what y is. x=y. On the table it says that X is 3. If x is 3 then y is three because they are equal. if X is 7 then Y is 7. its the same throughout the whole table. To write it as an ordered pair you write (X,Y) if x is three y is three so the ordered pair would look like (3,3)

Find all values of c such that 5c - 4 = 7 - 4-c/3

Marina CMI [18]

Hey there!

$5c - 4 = 7 - \dfrac{4 - c}{3} \\ 15c - 12 = 21 - 4 + c \\ 14c = 29 \\ c = 2 \dfrac{1}{14}$

Hope this helps. - M

Answer:

The load balance $(x_1,x_2,x_3)=(545.5,272.7,181.8)$ Mw minimizes the total cost

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Optimizing With Lagrange Multipliers</u>

When a multivariable function f is to be maximized or minimized, the Lagrange multipliers method is a pretty common and easy tool to apply when the restrictions are in the form of equalities.

Consider three generators that can output xi megawatts, with i ranging from 1 to 3. The set of unknown variables is x1, x2, x3.

The cost of each generator is given by the formula

$\displaystyle C_i=3x_i+\frac{i}{40}x_i^2$

It means the cost for each generator is expanded as

$\displaystyle C_1=3x_1+\frac{1}{40}x_1^2$

$\displaystyle C_2=3x_2+\frac{2}{40}x_2^2$

$\displaystyle C_3=3x_3+\frac{3}{40}x_3^2$

The total cost of production is

$\displaystyle C(x_1,x_2,x_3)=3x_1+\frac{1}{40}x_1^2+3x_2+\frac{2}{40}x_2^2+3x_3+\frac{3}{40}x_3^2$

Simplifying and rearranging, we have the objective function to minimize:

$\displaystyle C(x_1,x_2,x_3)=3(x_1+x_2+x_3)+\frac{1}{40}(x_1^2+2x_2^2+3x_3^2)$

The restriction can be modeled as a function g(x)=0:

$g: x_1+x_2+x_3=1000$

Or

$g(x_1,x_2,x_3)= x_1+x_2+x_3-1000$

We now construct the auxiliary function

$f(x_1,x_2,x_3)=C(x_1,x_2,x_3)-\lambda g(x_1,x_2,x_3)$

$\displaystyle f(x_1,x_2,x_3)=3(x_1+x_2+x_3)+\frac{1}{40}(x_1^2+2x_2^2+3x_3^2)-\lambda (x_1+x_2+x_3-1000)$

We find all the partial derivatives of f and equate them to 0

$\displaystyle f_{x1}=3+\frac{2}{40}x_1-\lambda=0$

$\displaystyle f_{x2}=3+\frac{4}{40}x_2-\lambda=0$

$\displaystyle f_{x3}=3+\frac{6}{40}x_3-\lambda=0$

$f_\lambda=x_1+x_2+x_3-1000=0$

Solving for \lambda in the three first equations, we have

$\displaystyle \lambda=3+\frac{2}{40}x_1$

$\displaystyle \lambda=3+\frac{4}{40}x_2$

$\displaystyle \lambda=3+\frac{6}{40}x_3$

Equating them, we find:

$x_1=3x_3$

$\displaystyle x_2=\frac{3}{2}x_3$

Replacing into the restriction (or the fourth derivative)

$x_1+x_2+x_3-1000=0$

$\displaystyle 3x_3+\frac{3}{2}x_3+x_3-1000=0$

$\displaystyle \frac{11}{2}x_3=1000$

$x_3=181.8\ MW$

And also

$x_1=545.5\ MW$

$x_2=272.7\ MW$

The load balance $(x_1,x_2,x_3)=(545.5,272.7,181.8)$ Mw minimizes the total cost
