I assume there are some plus signs that aren't rendering for some reason, so that the plane should be

.
You're minimizing

subject to the constraint

. Note that

and

attain their extrema at the same values of

, so we'll be working with the squared distance to avoid working out some slightly more complicated partial derivatives later.
The Lagrangian is

Take your partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:

Adding the first three equations together yields

and plugging this into the first three equations, you find a critical point at

.
The squared distance is then

, which means the shortest distance must be

.
Answer:
y = -1/2 - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverse function of y= 2x -12 would be y = -1/2x-12
So if its positive ex(5) and it ask for the inverse that would be - 1/5
You put a 1 on top and make it negative
Answer:
See explanations below
Explanation:
Vertex of a graph is the lowest point on the curve. The vertex occurs at (1.75, -2.5)
The axis of symmetry is the point on the x axis of the line that cuts through the minimum point. The axis of symmetry occurs at x = 1.75
x intercept is the point where the curve cuts the x axis. The x intercept occurs at x = 0 and x = 2.5
To get the minimum, we will use the formula;
c - b^2/4a
The equation of the curve is expressed as;
(x-0)(x-2.5)
= x (x-2.5)
= x^2 - 2.5x
a = 1, b = -2.5, c = 0
minimum = 0 - (-2.5)^2/4(1)
minimum = -6.25/4
minimum = -1.5625
Minimum value occurs at the base of the parabola. The minimum value of the function is -2.5
y intercept is the point where the curve cuts the y axis. The y-intercept occurs at y = 0.
Answer:
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First we want to raise -1 to the power of 2
y = 2 * 1 - 5 * -1 - 3
Multiply
2 - 5 * -1 - 3
Multiply
y = 2 + 5 - 3
y = 7 - 3
y = 4
The ratio is 9:81 which is equivalent to 1:9
