To find the probability of Joseph picking a key lime piece of taffy you will create a fraction with the number of possible outcomes over the total possible outcomes.

<u># of key lime taffies</u>              <u>12</u>
total # of taffies         =         60

12/60 = 1/5

1/5 = 0.2

Joseph has a 0.2 probability of picking a key lime taffy.

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinat
dimaraw [331]

I assume the given plane has equation

<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> + 4<em>z</em> = <em>d</em>

for some constant <em>d</em> ≠ 0.

You want to maximize the function <em>V(x, y, z)</em> = <em>xyz</em> subject to the above constraint. The Lagrangian would be

<em>L(x, y, z, λ)</em> = <em>xyz</em> - <em>λ</em> (<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> + 4<em>z</em> - <em>d</em>)

Find its critical points:

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>x</em> = <em>yz</em> - <em>λ</em> = 0

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>y</em> = <em>xz</em> - 3<em>λ</em> = 0

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>z</em> = <em>xy</em> - 4<em>λ</em> = 0

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>λ</em> = <em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> + 4<em>z</em> - <em>d</em> = 0

The first three equations tell you that <em>λ</em> = <em>yz</em> = <em>xz</em>/3 = <em>xy</em>/4. Then, for instance,

<em>yz</em> = <em>xz</em>/3   →   3<em>yz</em> - <em>xz</em> = <em>z</em> (3<em>y</em> - <em>x</em>) = 0   →   <em>z</em> = 0   <u>or</u>   3<em>y</em> - <em>x</em> = 0

If <em>z</em> = 0, we get zero volume which is not useful. So 3<em>y</em> = <em>x</em>. Similarly, you would find <em>x</em> = 4<em>z</em> and 3<em>y</em> = 4<em>z</em>, so a critical point occurs when <em>x</em> = 3<em>y</em> = 4<em>z</em>.

In the fourth equation, we get upon substituting

<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> + 4<em>z</em> = 3<em>x</em> = <em>d</em>   →   <em>x</em> = <em>d</em>/3, <em>y</em> = <em>d</em>/9, <em>z</em> = <em>d</em>/12

Then the largest volume of this box would be

<em>V(d</em>/3, <em>d</em>/9, <em>d</em>/12<em>)</em> = <em>d</em> ³ / 324

Which polynomial represents the area of the rectangle
Serga [27]

Answer : The polynomial represents the area of the rectangle is, 4x² -2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Length of rectangle = 4x - 6

Width of rectangle = x + 1

Formula used:

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Now putting all the given values in this formula, we get:

Area of rectangle = (4x - 6) × (x + 1)

Area of rectangle = 4x² + 4x - 6x - 6

Area of rectangle = 4x² -2x - 6

Hence, the polynomial represents the area of the rectangle is, 4x² -2x - 6
