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

If m∠XWY = 20°, m∠XWZ = 40°, and XY = 16, what is the value of YZ?
Jobisdone [24]
YZ = 16. The triangles are congruent. This would be AAS so YZ = 16 because of CPCTC.

Find the inverse of the matrix , if it exists
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

So, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of the matrix, the formula is:

A^{-1} = 1/|A| * Adj A

Inverse of the matrix exists if |A| does not equal to 0

|A| = 7 * 9 -( -2 * -10)

|A| = 63 - 20

|A| = 43

AS |A| ≠ 0

so inverse exist.

now finding Adj A

Adj A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}9&2\\10&7\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{cc}9/43&2/43\\10/43&7/43\end{array}\right]

So, option A is correct.
