We assume all employees are either full-time or part-time.

36 = 24 + 12

If the number of full-time employees is 24 or less, the number of part-time employees must be 12 or more. (Thinking, based on knowledge of sums.)

_____

You can write the inequality in two stages.

  1. First, write and solve an equation for the number of full-time employees in terms of the number of part-time employees.
  2. Then apply the given constraint on full-time employees. This gives an inequality you can solve for the number of part-time employees.

Let f and p represent the numbers of full-time and part-time employees, respectively.

... f + p = 36 . . . . . . given

... f = 36 - p . . . . . . . subtract p. This is our expression for f in terms of p.

... f ≤ 24 . . . . . . . . . given

... (36 -p) ≤ 24 . . . . substitute for f. Here's your inequality in p.

... 36 - 24 ≤ p . . . . add p-24

... p ≥ 12 . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality

Find a point on the ellipsoid x2+y2+4z2=36x2+y2+4z2=36 where the tangent plane is perpendicular to the line with parametric equa
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

A point on the ellipsoid is (-4,2,2) or (4,-2,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of ellipsoid f(x,y,z) :x^2+y^2+4z^2=36

Parametric equations:

x=-4t-1

y=2t+1

z=8t+3

Finding the gradient of function

\nabla f(x,y,z)=\\\nabla f(x,y,z)=

So, The directions vectors=(-4,2,8)

Now the line is perpendicular to plane when direction vector is parallel to the normal vector of line

\nablaf(x,y,z)=(2x,2y,8z)=\lambda(-4,2,8)

So, 2x=-4\lambda

\Rightarrow x=-2\lambda

2y=2\lambda\\\Rightarrow y=\lambda\\8z=8\lambda\\\Rightarrow z=\lambda

Substitute the value of x , y and z in the ellipsoid equation

(2\lambda)^2+(\lambda)^2+4(\lambda)^2=36\\9(\lambda)^2=36\\\lambda^2=4\\\lambda=\pm 2

With \lambda = 2

x=-2(2)=-4

y=2

z=2

With\lambda =- 2

x=-2(-2)=4

y=-2

z=-2

Hence a point on the ellipsoid is (-4,2,2) or (4,-2,-2)
