. Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of the function, f, subject to the given constraint, g. (Place

the exact values, or if an answer does not exist, write "DNE," on the lines below.) Include your calculations as always. f(x, y, z) = x4 + y4 + z4 ; g(x, y, z) = x2 + y2 + z2 = 1

Answer:

Minimum value of f(x, y, z) = (1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x, y, z) = x⁴ + y⁴ + z⁴

We're to maximize and minimize this function subject to the constraint that

g(x, y, z) = x² + y² + z² = 1

The constraint can be rewritten as

x² + y² + z² - 1 = 0

Using Lagrange multiplier, we then write the equation in Lagrange form

Lagrange function = Function - λ(constraint)

where λ = Lagrange factor, which can be a function of x, y and z

L(x,y,z) = x⁴ + y⁴ + z⁴ - λ(x² + y² + z² - 1)

We then take the partial derivatives of the Lagrange function with respect to x, y, z and λ. Because these are turning points, each of the partial derivatives is equal to 0.

(∂L/∂x) = 4x³ - λx = 0

λ = 4x² (eqn 1)

(∂L/∂y) = 4y³ - λy = 0

λ = 4y² (eqn 2)

(∂L/∂z) = 4z³ - λz = 0

λ = 4z² (eqn 3)

(∂L/∂λ) = x² + y² + z² - 1 = 0 (eqn 4)

We can then equate the values of λ from the first 3 partial derivatives and solve for the values of x, y and z

4x² = 4y²

4x² - 4y² = 0

(2x - 2y)(2x + 2y) = 0

x = y or x = -y

Also,

4x² = 4z²

4x² - 4z² = 0

(2x - 2z) (2x + 2z) = 0

x = z or x = -z

when x = y, x = z

when x = -y, x = -z

Hence, at the point where the box has maximum and minimal area,

x = y = z

And

x = -y = -z

Putting these into the constraint equation or the solution of the fourth partial derivative,

x² + y² + z² = 1

x = y = z

x² + x² + x² = 1

3x² = 1

x = √(1/3)

x = y = z = √(1/3)

when x = -y = -z

x² + y² + z² = 1

x² + x² + x² = 1

3x² = 1

x = √(1/3)

y = z = -√(1/3)

Inserting these into the function f(x,y,z)

f(x, y, z) = x⁴ + y⁴ + z⁴

We know that the two types of answers for x, y and z both resulting the same quantity

√(1/3)

f(x, y, z) = x⁴ + y⁴ + z⁴

f(x, y, z) = (√(1/3)⁴ + (√(1/3)⁴ + (√(1/3)⁴

f(x, y, z) = 3 × (1/9) = (1/3).

We know this point is a minimum point because when the values of x, y and z at turning points are inserted into the second derivatives, all the answers are positive! Indicating that this points obtained are

S = (1/3)

Hope this Helps!!!

What measure of center best represents the data set?
inysia [295]
I feel like it would be mean or median, because there is no outlier, making it so that all of the numbers are closely put together.

Put the set into order.

25, 26, 27, 28, 29

So, we know that this is all in order, making it so that we know for sure that there is no outlier. 

If you find the mean, it'll represent the data nicely. 

We know that both the mean and median represent the data set nicely, because it just does. It's one of those things that are extremely painful and hard to fully explain and have someone understand, but don't worry, it makes sense.

So, it can't just be the mean only or the median only.

It also can't be the mode only, because THERE IS NO MODE! 

So, our final answer is mean or median :)

~Hope I helped!~

A farmer has one square mile land . If he divides his land into square fields that are 1/4 mile long and 1/4 mile wide,how many
White raven [17]

A square field that is 1/4 mile long and 1/4 mile wide has area

\dfrac{1}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1}{16}

So, to know how many of these fields fit in the biggest field, you have to divide their areas:

\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{16}} = 16

So, if the farmer divides his land into square fields that are 1/4 mile long and 1/4 mile wide, he will have 16 of these smaller fields.
