You plug in the values so it would be 24=15k. Divide by 15 on both sides so k=24/15=1.6. :)

Find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in t
nataly862011 [7]

Let (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>z</em>) be a point on the plane in the first octant. The box formed by this point has volume <em>xyz</em>, and you want to maximize this subject to the equation of the plane.

Use the method of Lagrange multipliers: the Lagrangian is

<em>L</em>(<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>z</em>) = <em>xyz</em> - <em>λ</em> (<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> + 3<em>z</em> - 6)

Find its critical points:

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>x</em> = <em>yz</em> - <em>λ</em> = 0

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>y</em> = <em>xz</em> - 2<em>λ</em> = 0

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>z</em> = <em>xy</em> - 3<em>λ</em> = 0

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>λ</em> = -(<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> + 3<em>z</em> - 6) = 0

Solving the first three equations for <em>λ</em> gives

<em>λ</em> = <em>yz</em> = <em>xz</em>/2 = <em>xy</em>/3

Solve these equations for <em>y</em> and <em>z</em> :

• <em>yz</em> = <em>xz</em>/2   =>   <em>y</em> = <em>x</em>/2   =>   2<em>y</em> = <em>x</em>

• <em>yz</em> = <em>xy</em>/3   =>   <em>z</em> = <em>x</em>/3   =>   3<em>z</em> = <em>x</em>

Substitute these solutions into the last equation and solve for <em>x</em>, then again for <em>y</em> and <em>z</em> :

<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> + 3<em>z</em> - 6 = 3<em>x</em> - 6 = 0   =>   3<em>x</em> = 6   =>   <em>x</em> = 2, <em>y</em> = 1, <em>z</em> = 2/3

At this critical point, the maximum volume is

<em>xyz</em> = 2*1*2/3 = 4/3

Mahala is making a piece of jewelry that is in the shape of a right triangle. The two shorter sides of the piece of jewelry are
Digiron [165]
The two "shorter" sides are referring to the legs of the triangles, because the hypotenuse is the largest side. Looking at this, we can find that it's a 3-4-5 triangle, which means that the scaling factor is 3, because 9/3 =3, 12/3=4, meaning we multiply 5 by 3 to get 15.

I need help!! !!!!!!!!!
Ber [7]

Answer: A - (1,4)

Exponential functions always have a horizontal asymptote, and the equation of it is y=0, and the equation has a 4, so it is exponentially moving up by 4. Also, this type of function never intersects 0,0
