The answer is H because since there is 4 quarts in a gallon, you can divide 24 by 4. Hope this helped!
Answer:
2.4 or 12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope formula is (y2-y1) divided by (x2-x1).
First, you label each number by their x and y.
-4 will be axis x 1
2 will be axis y 1
-9 will be axis x 2
-10 will be axis y 2.
Then substitute the variable into the formula.
(-10 subtract 2) divided by (-9-(-4)).
Next, solve. Once you solve you will get -12/-5 = 2.4
Finally, simplify the answer. if it is already simplify, that will be the answer.
10 minutes I'm pretty sure. My calculations may be off but at least I tried
Minimize
subject to
. The Lagrangian would be
and has partial derivatives
Setting each partial derivative to 0, we have
From the third equation, it follows that either
or
. In the second case, we arrive at a contradiction:
since both
and
must be non-negative, yet this would mean e.g.
. So it must be that
.
The first and second equations then tell us that
from which we obtain
.
Thus the points on the cone closest to (16, 6, 0) are
.
