Let's denote Cindy's age which is unknown with X
We know that Cindy's age is 3 times her age 6 years ago. 
6 years ago Cindy's age was the present age (X) - 6 : X-6
The fact that the  present age is 3 times her age 6 year ago can be written as:
3*(X-6)
So, finally:
X=3*(X-6)

The length of a rectangle is one more that three times its width. If the perimeter is 42 inches, find the dimensions of the rect
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Let w=width
L= length
3w+1=l
Perimeter -2(l+w)
2(W+3w+1)=42
Divide both sides by 2
W+3w+1=21
Subtract 1
W+3w=20
Add like terms
4w=20
Divide both sides by 4
W=5
The width is 5 inches

3w+1=l
Input the width into the equation
3(5)+1=l
15+1=l
16=l
The length of the rectangle is 16 inches

The rectangle is 5 x 16 inches

What is the midpoint of EC ?
sergij07 [2.7K]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the graph OACE.

The coordinates of the vertices OACE are O(0,0), A(2m, 2n), C(2p, 2r) and E(2t, 0)

We need to determine the midpoint of EC.

<u>Midpoint of EC:</u>

The midpoint of EC can be determined using the formula,

Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

Substituting the coordinates E(2t,0) and C(2p, 2r), we get;

Midpoint=(\frac{2t+2p}{2},\frac{0+2r}{2})

Simplifying, we get;

Midpoint=(\frac{2(t+p)}{2},\frac{2r}{2})

Dividing, we get;

Midpoint=(t+p,r)

Thus, the midpoint of EC is (t + p, r)

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of (i) f(x,y)-81x^2+y^2 subject to the constraint 4x^2+y^2=9. (i
sp2606 [1]

i. The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,\lambda)=81x^2+y^2+\lambda(4x^2+y^2-9)

with critical points whenever

L_x=162x+8\lambda x=0\implies2x(81+4\lambda)=0\implies x=0\text{ or }\lambda=-\dfrac{81}4

L_y=2y+2\lambda y=0\implies2y(1+\lambda)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }\lambda=-1

L_\lambda=4x^2+y^2-9=0

  • If x=0, then L_\lambda=0\implies y=\pm3.
  • If y=0, then L_\lambda=0\implies x=\pm\dfrac32.
  • Either value of \lambda found above requires that either x=0 or y=0, so we get the same critical points as in the previous two cases.

We have f(0,-3)=9, f(0,3)=9, f\left(-\dfrac32,0\right)=\dfrac{729}4=182.25, and f\left(\dfrac32,0\right)=\dfrac{729}4, so f has a minimum value of 9 and a maximum value of 182.25.

ii. The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=y^2-10z+\lambda(x^2+y^2+z^2-36)

with critical points whenever

L_x=2\lambda x=0\implies x=0 (because we assume \lambda\neq0)

L_y=2y+2\lambda y=0\implies 2y(1+\lambda)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }\lambda=-1

L_z=-10+2\lambda z=0\implies z=\dfrac5\lambda

L_\lambda=x^2+y^2+z^2-36=0

  • If x=y=0, then L_\lambda=0\implies z=\pm6.
  • If \lambda=-1, then z=-5, and with x=0 we have L_\lambda=0\implies y=\pm\sqrt{11}.

We have f(0,0,-6)=60, f(0,0,6)=-60, f(0,-\sqrt{11},-5)=61, and f(0,\sqrt{11},-5)=61. So f has a maximum value of 61 and a minimum value of -60.
