Find the points on the cone z2 = x2 + y2 that are closest to the point (6, 2, 0).

Answer:

The closest points on the cone are;

(6, 2, -√10) and (6, 2, √10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B(x, y, z) denote a point on the cone.

Therefore, the distance between the points (6, 2, 0) and B(x, y, z) is;

d = √[(x - 6)² + (y - 2)² + (z - 0)²]

d = √[(x - 6)² + (y - 2)² + z²]

Since we are given that z² = x² + y², we now have;

d = √[(x - 6)² + (y - 2)² + x² + y²]

Taking the square of both sides gives;

d² = [(x - 6)² + (y - 2)² + x² + y²]

x² is an increasing function. Thus, minimizing d is also the same as to minimize f (x, y) = d²

Thus, f' = 0. So;

df/dx = 2(x - 6) + 2x = 0

2x - 12 + 2x = 0

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3

Similarly,

df/dy = 2(y - 2) + 2y = 0

2y - 4 + 2y = 0

4y - 4 = 0

4y = 4

y = 4/4

y = 1

Now,from earlier;

z² = x² + y²

Thus;

z = ±√(3² + 1²)

z = ±√10

Thus, the closest points on the cone are;

(6, 2, -√10) and (6, 2, √10)

dusya [7]

Answer:

The Schusters will have to pay $2,034 in the sixth month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Carpet King is trying to increase sales, and it has instituted a new promotion by which all purchases can be paid on the installment plan with no interest, as long as the total is paid in full within six months, and there is a $20 minimum monthly payment required, if the Schuster family buys carpeting for $2,134 and makes only the minimum payment for five months, to determine how much will they have to pay in the sixth month, the following calculation must be performed:

2134 - (5 x 20) = X

2134 - 100 = X

2034 = X

Therefore, the Schusters will have to pay $ 2,034 in the sixth month.

Domain: x≤5 (notice the closed dot on the right and the arrow on the left)
Range: y≤2 (notice the closed dot on the right and the arrow on the left)

The arrow means it keeps going infinitely. The closed dot means it stops there but is inclusive of that value.
