Andrea wanted to calculate 5% of 300, so she multiplied 300 by 0.5 (300 x 0.5).

1 answer:

5 0

This is because Andrea converted the Percentage wrong.
to Convert a Percent to a Decimal, she should have divided by 100
so 5 divided by 100 = 0.05 [not 0.5]
Andrea should have multiplied 300 by 0.05 instead to get the right answer

quickly finding 10% of a number means to simply move the decimal to the left one place
so 10% of 300 is 30

since 5% is half of 10%
half of 30 is 15

and so 5% of 300 is 15

*Hint: In order to find the distance between the two points the formula would be √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Now that we know the formula, all we do is plug in the numbers.

√((2 - 2)^2 + (2.5 - 1.2)^2)
√ 0 + (1.3)^2
√1.69
1.3

The distance between the two points is 1.3.

Use lagrange multipliers to find the shortest distance, d, from the point (4, 0, −5 to the plane x y z = 1

Varvara68 [4.7K]

I assume there are some plus signs that aren't rendering for some reason, so that the plane should be $x+y+z=1$ .

You're minimizing $d(x,y,z)=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+y^2+(z+5)^2}$ subject to the constraint $f(x,y,z)=x+y+z=1$ . Note that $d(x,y,z)$ and $d(x,y,z)^2$ attain their extrema at the same values of $x,y,z$ , so we'll be working with the squared distance to avoid working out some slightly more complicated partial derivatives later.

The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=(x-4)^2+y^2+(z+5)^2+\lambda(x+y+z-1)$

Take your partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:

$\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial x}=2(x-4)+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=2y+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial z}=2(z+5)+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial\lambda}=x+y+z-1=0\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}2x+\lambda=8\\2y+\lambda=0\\2z+\lambda=-10\\x+y+z=1\end{cases}$

Adding the first three equations together yields

$2x+2y+2z+3\lambda=2(x+y+z)+3\lambda=2+3\lambda=-2\implies \lambda=-\dfrac43$

and plugging this into the first three equations, you find a critical point at $(x,y,z)=\left(\dfrac{14}3,\dfrac23,-\dfrac{13}3\right)$ .

The squared distance is then $d\left(\dfrac{14}3,\dfrac23,-\dfrac{13}3\right)^2=\dfrac43$ , which means the shortest distance must be $\sqrt{\dfrac43}=\dfrac2{\sqrt3}$ .
