Answer:
The problem basically is saying that find two numbers that add up to 8, where one is three times the other.
Step-by-step explanation:
The best thing to do here is to write a simple system of equations.
b+y=8
b=3y
The first equation means that the total blue paint plus the total yellow paint is equal to 8 ounces.
The second equation means that the blue paint is equal to 3 times the yellow paint.
We can isolate b in the first equation to get b=-y+8
-y+8=3y
8=4y
y=2.
So we have that she needs two ounces of yellow paint.
Therefore she needs six ounces of blue paint.
Drag the yellow bar to 2, and the blue bar to 6.
Hope this helps!
The Lagrangian for this function and the given constraints is
which has partial derivatives (set equal to 0) satisfying
This is a fairly standard linear system. Solving yields Lagrange multipliers of
and
, and at the same time we find only one critical point at
.
Check the Hessian for
, given by
is positive definite, since
for any vector
, which means
attains a minimum value of
at
. There is no maximum over the given constraints.
check the picture below
and isosceles triangle, has two equal sides, thus, sides "a" and "b" for the triangle to be an isosceles, have to be equal
