CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME???

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x+2. let it eq 1

put y= - 2 and x=-4 in eq 1

-2 = -4+2

-2= -2

now put x= -3 and y= -1 in eq 1

-1 = -3+2

-1 =-1

now put x= -2 and y=0 in eq 1

0 = -2+2

0=0

now put x= -1 and y=1 in eq 1

1 = -1+2

1=1

The Ace Novelty company produces two souvenirs: Type A and Type B. The number of Type A souvenirs, x, and the number of Type B s

Molodets [167]

Answer:

500 type A; 3500 type B

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of Lagrange multipliers can solve this quickly. For objective function f(x, y) and constraint function g(x, y)=0 we can set the partial derivatives of the Lagrangian to zero to find the values of the variables at the extreme of interest.

These functions are ...

$f(x,y)=4x+2y\\g(x,y)=2x^2+y-4$

The Lagrangian is ...

$\mathcal{L}(x,y,\lambda)=f(x,y)+\lambda g(x,y)\\\\\text{and the partial derivatives are ...}\\\\\dfrac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial x}=\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}+\lambda\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial x}=4+\lambda (4x)=0\ \implies\ x=\dfrac{-1}{\lambda}\\\\\dfrac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}+\lambda\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=2+\lambda (1)=0\ \implies\ \lambda=-2$

$\dfrac{\partial\mathcal{L}}{\partial\lambda}=\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial\lambda}+\lambda\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial\lambda}=0+2x^2+y-4=0\ \implies\ y=4-2x^2\\\\\text{We know $\lambda$, so we can find x and y:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-1}{-2}=0.5\\\\y=4-2\cdot 0.5^2=3.5$

Since x and y are in thousands, maximum profit is to be had when the company produces ...

500 Type A souvenirs, and 3500 Type B souvenirs
