Easy just subtract 20 and 12 and its 8 the reason how i got that is because the ladder is 20 feet high and it now stands 12 feet on the fence so the fence is only 8 feet PLZ MARK ME BRAINIEST MY ANSWER IS RIGHT i have done the test ur welcome.

Consider the following equation. f(x, y) = e−(x − a)2 − (y − b)2 (a) Find the critical points. (x, y) = a,b (b) Find a and b suc
murzikaleks [220]

a.

f(x,y)=e^{-(x-a)^2-(y-b)^2}\implies\begin{cases}f_x=-2(x-a)e^{-(x-a)^2-(y-b)^2}\\f_y=-2(y-b)e^{-(x-a)^2-(y-b)^2}\end{cases}

Critical points occur where f_x=f_y=0. The exponential factor is always positive, so we have

\begin{cases}-2(x-a)=0\\-2(y-b)=0\end{cases}\implies(x,y)=\boxed{(a,b)}

b. As the previous answer established, the critical point occurs at (-3, 8) if \boxed{a=-3} and \boxed{b=8}.

c. Check the determinant of the Hessian matrix of f(x,y):

\mathbf H(x,y)=\begin{bmatrix}f_{xx}&f_{xy}\\f_{yx}&f_{yy}\end{bmatrix}

The second-order derivatives are

f_{xx}=(-2+4(x-a)^2)e^{-(x-a)^2-(y-b)^2}

f_{xy}=4(x-a)(y-b)e^{-(x-a)^2-(y-b)^2}

f_{yx}=4(x-a)(y-b)e^{-(x-a)^2-(y-b)^2}

f_{yy}=(-2+4(y-b)^2)e^{-(x-a)^2-(y-b)^2}

so that the determinant of the Hessian is

\det\mathbf H(x,y)=f_{xx}f_{yy}-{f_{xy}}^2=\left((4(x-a)^2-2)(4(y-b)^2-2)-16(x-a)^2(y-b)^2\right)e^{-2(x-a)^2-2(y-b)^2}

\det\mathbf H(x,y)=(16(x-a)^2(y-b)^2-8(x-a)^2-8(y-b)^2)+4)e^{-2(x-a)^2-2(y-b)^2}

The sign of the determinant is unchanged by the exponential term so we can ignore it. For a=x=-3 and b=y=8, the remaining factor in the determinant has a value of 4, which is positive. At this point we also have

f_{xx}(-3,8;a=-3,b=8)=-2

which is negative, and this indicates that (-3, 8) is a local maximum.

if she can fly from Washington DC to Ocean City MD 162 miles in 18 minutes how long would it take her to travel 486 miles???
o-na [289]
We can put it like this
162/18=486/x
cross multiply
162*x = 486 * 18
162*x = 8748
divide both sides by 162
x = 54

It will take her 54 minutes to travel 486 miles

Hope this helps :)

It is 62 inch squared.

All you have to do is plug the numbers into the SA formula (SA= lw + hw + hl)

Gas in Germany cost 1.50 euros per liter. how much is this in dollars per gallon
SIZIF [17.4K]
To solve this problem, you will have to first find how many US Dollars are in 1 Euro. Upon looking this up, I see that currently 1 Euro is worth 1.23 US Dollars. Next, you must calculate how many liters are in a gallon. Looking this up shows that 1 liter is equal to 0.264 gallons.

Since 0.264 is not a whole gallon and we are asked to find the price per gallon, we should next calculate how many liters can fit in a gallon. To do this, we will divide 1 by 0.264, which gives us 3.78. This tells us that 3.78 liters will fit into a gallon.

The cost of 1L of gas in euros is 1.50 Euros. Since we need 3.78L to equal 1 gallon, we can calculate the cost of this to be:

3.78 * 1.50 = €5.67

Earlier we determined that 1 euro is worth 1.23 US Dollars. Our final step is to convert our €5.67 per gallon to dollars per gallon. To do this, we simply have to multiply 5.67 by 1.23. This gives us $6.97.


So, our answer is that the cost is $6.97 per gallon.




Hopefully this is correct and makes sense to you. This is how I would approach the question.
