B=y=-x/2-1 <span>(-6,2). When x of the line is -6, y of the line must be 2.</span>Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the -1/2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (-6,2).

So, why not plug in for x the number -6 and for y the number 2? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

<span>(-6,2). y=mx+b or 2=-1/2 × -6+b, or solving for b: b=2-(-1/2)(-6). b=-1.</span>

Find a solution to the following system of equations. -2x + y= -3 -x+2y+3
Oksanka [162]

For this case we have the following system of equations:-2x + y = -3\\-x + 2y = 3

We multiply the first equation by -2:

4x-2y = 6

We add the equations:

-x + 2y = 3\\4x-2y = 6

Adding we have:

4x-x-2y + 2y = 3 + 6\\3x = 9\\x = \frac {9} {3}\\x = 3

We look for the value of "y":

-x + 2y = 3\\-3 + 2y = 3\\2y = 3 + 3\\2y = 6\\y = \frac {6} {2}\\y = 3

So, the solution is (x, y) :( 3,3)

Answer:

(x, y) :( 3,3)

Please show step by step of working out the value of r for which is A is aminimum and calculate the minimum surface area of the
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The minimum surface area of the container is 276.791 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be A(r) = \pi\cdot r^{2} + \frac{1000}{r}, \forall \,r \in \mathbb{R}, r \geq 0. The first and second derivatives of such function are, respectively:

First derivative

A'(r) = 2\cdot \pi \cdot r -\frac{1000}{r^{2}}

Second derivative

A''(r) = 2\cdot \pi +\frac{2000}{r^{3}}

The critical values of r are determined by equalizing first derivative to zero and solving it: (First Derivative Test)

2\cdot \pi \cdot r -\frac{1000}{r^{2}} = 0

2\cdot \pi \cdot  r^{3} - 1000 = 0

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{1000}{2\pi} }

r \approx 5.419 (since radius is a positive variable)

To determine if critical value leads to an absolute minimum, this input must be checked in the second derivative expression: (r \approx 5.419)

A''(5.419) = 2 + \frac{2000}{5.419^{3}}

A''(5.419) = 14.568

The critical value leads to an absolute minimum, since value of the second derivative is positive.

Finally, the minimum surface area of the container is:

A(5.419) = \pi\cdot (5.419)^{2} + \frac{1000}{5.419}

A(5.419) \approx 276.791

The minimum surface area of the container is 276.791 square units.
