<h3>Given</h3>
Two positive numbers x and y such that xy = 192
<h3>Find</h3>
The values that minimize x + 3y
<h3>Solution</h3>
y = 192/x . . . . . solve for y
f(x) = x + 3y
f(x) = x + 3(192/x) . . . . . the function we want to minimize
We can find the x that minimizes of f(x) by setting the derivative of f(x) to zero.
... f'(x) = 1 - 576/x² = 0
... 576 = x² . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by x², add 576
... √576 = x = 24 . . . . . . . take the square root
... y = 192/24 = 8 . . . . . . . find the value of y using the above equation for y
The first number is 24.
The second number is 8.
Your answer is
because the numbers raised to negative powers must be flipped over the divisor to become positive. Then, when multiplying 2 and z, you add their exponents.
Answer:
D. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(1 - -5)/(4 - 1) = 6/3 = 2
2/35, just ask your calculator what is one seventh of two and one half.<span />
