Answer: the small bottle holds 15 ounces while the large bottle holds 23 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounces that a small bottle holds.

Let y represent the number of ounces that a large bottle holds.

He drank 2 small bottles and 2 large bottles, for a total of 76 ounces. It means that

2x + 2y = 76 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

The day before, he drank 4 small bottles and 1 large bottle, for a total of 83 ounces. This means that

4x + y = 83 - - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes

4x + 4y = 152

4x + y = 83

Subtracting, it becomes

3y = 69

y = 69/3 = 23 ounces

Substituting y = 23 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 2 × 23 = 76

2x + 46 = 76

2x = 76 - 46 = 30

x = 30/2 = 15 ounces

Find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in t
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y + 3z = 12

z=\frac{12-x-2y}{3}

Volume = V=f(x,y) = xy(\frac{12-x-2y}{3} )

find partial derivatives using product rule

f_x =\frac{y}{3} (12-2x-2y)\\f_y = \frac{x}{3} (12-x-4y)

i.e.

Using maximum for partial derivatives, we equate first partial derivative to 0.

y=0 or x+y =6

x=0 or x+4y =12

Simplify to get y =2, x = 4

thus critical points are (4,2) (6,0) (0,3)

Of these D the II derivative test gives

D<0 only for (4,2)

Hence maximum volume is when x=4, y=2, z= 4/3

Max volume is = 4(2)(4/3) = 32/3

2k^2-5k-18=0 what is both of the values of k? plz help!!! 15 pts!!!
ddd [48]
To factor quadratic equations of the form ax^2+bx+c=y, you must find two values, j and k, which satisfy two conditions.

jk=ac and j+k=b

The you replace the single linear term bx with jx and kx. Finally then you factor the first pair of terms and the second pair of terms. In this problem...

2k^2-5k-18=0

2k^2+4k-9k-18=0

2k(k+2)-9(k+2)=0

(2k-9)(k+2)=0

so k=-2 and 9/2

k=(-2, 4.5)
