2x+3y=60 solve for x...

x=(60-3y)/2

p=xy^3, using x from above:

p=y^3(60-3y)/2

p=(60y^3-3y^4)/2

dp/dy=(180y^2-12y^3)/2

dp/dy=90y^2-6y^2

dp/dy=0 when:

90y^2-6y^3=0

6y^2(15-y)=0, we know y>0 so

y=15, since x=(60-3y)/2

x=7.5

(We solved it this way because otherwise you get quartic equations and cubic derivatives, yuck :P)

2x+3y=60 and f(x,y)=xy^3
Solve for x=30-1.5y
Substitute in
f(y)=(30-1.5y)y^3 = 30y^3-1.5y^4
taking the derivative and finding the critical points yields:
f'(y)=90y^2 -6y^3 = 0
y=15
Then x =30-1.5*15
x=7.5
So x=7.5 and y =15

How do you work out a percentile rank of a score of 57
arlik [135]
To do that you'll need the mean and standard deviation of all the scores.  Can you provide this info?

For example:  Supposing that the mean of these scores were 52 and the standard deviation 3.  You'd need to find the "z-score" of 57 in this case.
               57 - 52
It is  z = ------------ , or z = 5/3, or z = 1.67.
                     3

Find the area to the left of z = 1.67.  Multiply that area by 100% to find the percentile rank of the score 57.

Margarita [4]
He would need less than 8.  So he would need 2.5 pints. I think.
