15.5/1.25 = 12.4 pieces

We can't have .4 of a piece if they are all to be equal so we can obtain 12 pieces of ribbon in total.

(4) use the method of lagrange multipliers to determine the maximum value of f(x, y) = x a y b (the a and b are two fixed positi

wlad13 [49]

Assuming $f(x,y)=x^ay^b$ . We have Lagrangian

$L(x,y,\lambda)=x^ay^b+\lambda(x+y-1)$

with partial derivatives (set to 0)[/tex]

$L_x=ax^{a-1}y^b+\lambda=0\implies ax^{a-1}y^b=-\lambda$
$L_y=bx^ay^{b-1}+\lambda=0\implies bx^ay^{b-1}=-\lambda$
$L_\lambda=x+y-1=0$

$\implies ax^{a-1}y^b=bx^ay^{b-1}\implies -bx+ay=0$
$x+y-1=0\implies x+y=1$

Solving this system of linear equations yields $x=\dfrac a{a+b}$ and $y=\dfrac b{a+b}$ as the sole critical point, which in turn gives a maximum value of $f\left(\dfrac a{a+b},\dfrac b{a+b}\right)=\dfrac{a^ab^b}{(a+b)^{a+b}}$ .

Phillip departed from town A with coordinates (1, 6) towards town B with coordinates (7, 6). At the same time Bruce headed from

Lana71 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to determine the length of the path they're walkin on. We do this with the following equation:

$\sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2} + (y1 - y2)^{2} }$

Let's fill it in:

$\sqrt{(1 - 7)^{2} +(6 - 6)^{2} } = \sqrt{36} = 6$

They walk 7:5 respectively 7+5=12 so on 6 units they'll walk 12/6=2 so 7/2:5/2=3.5:2.5

3.5 units right from (1,6) is 1+3.5=4.5 which gives us (4.5,6)
