Two trucks started toward each other at the same time from towns 500 km apart. One truck traveled at a rate of 65 km per hour wh

ile the other traveled at 60 km per hour. After how many hours did they meet? If x represents the number of hours, which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?

3x-6y=9<br> x=2y+3<br><br> SOMEONE HELP ME SOLVE THIS STEP BY STEP TY

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

0=0

infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

plug x=2y+3 as x into 3x-6y=9...so

3(2y+3)-6y=9, which has our x=2y+3 plugged in because that is what x equals

if you solve its

6y+9-6y=9

0y=0

y=0

making it 0=0

7 less than a number k is 18

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

$k-7=18$ ; k=25

Step-by-step explanation:

$k(-7+7)=18+7\\18+7=25\\k=25$

7 less than 25 (or K) is 18.

Find the simple interest earned to the nearest cent for each principal, interest rate, and time.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Interest earned at 3.9 percent rate is $31.2

Interest earned at 2 percent rate is $5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Where 'A' is the amount, 'r' is the rate and 't' is the time in years

When;

P = $1200

r = 3.9%

t = $\frac{8}{12}$ years

Then,

A = $1200(1 + 0.039( $\frac{8}{12}$ ))

A = $1200 + $31.2 = $1231.2

Interest = Amount - Principal

Interest earned at 3.9 percent rate is $1231.2 - $1200 = $31.2

When;

P = $580

r = 2%

t = $\frac{6}{12}$ years

Then,

A = $580(1 + 0.02( $\frac{6}{12}$ ))

A = $580 + $5.8 = $585.8

Interest earned = Amount - Principal

Interest earned at 2 percent rate = $585.8 - $580 = $5.8

EXAMPLE 5 Find the maximum value of the function f(x, y, z) = x + 2y + 11z on the curve of intersection of the plane x − y + z =

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle x= -\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle y= \frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle z = \frac{23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

<em>Maximum value of f=2.41</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Lagrange Multipliers</u>

It's a method to optimize (maximize or minimize) functions of more than one variable subject to equality restrictions.

Given a function of three variables f(x,y,z) and a restriction in the form of an equality g(x,y,z)=0, then we are interested in finding the values of x,y,z where both gradients are parallel, i.e.

$\bigtriangledown f=\lambda \bigtriangledown g$

for some scalar $\lambda$ called the Lagrange multiplier.

For more than one restriction, say g(x,y,z)=0 and h(x,y,z)=0, the Lagrange condition is

$\bigtriangledown f=\lambda \bigtriangledown g+\mu \bigtriangledown h$

The gradient of f is

$\bigtriangledown f=$

Considering each variable as independent we have three equations right from the Lagrange condition, plus one for each restriction, to form a 5x5 system of equations in $x,y,z,\lambda,\mu$ .

We have

$f(x, y, z) = x + 2y + 11z\\g(x, y, z) = x - y + z -1=0\\h(x, y, z) = x^2 + y^2 -1= 0$

Let's compute the partial derivatives

$f_x=1\ ,f_y=2\ ,f_z=11\ \\g_x=1\ ,g_y=-1\ ,g_z=1\\h_x=2x\ ,h_y=2y\ ,h_z=0$

The Lagrange condition leads to

$1=\lambda (1)+\mu (2x)\\2=\lambda (-1)+\mu (2y)\\11=\lambda (1)+\mu (0)$

Operating and simplifying

$1=\lambda+2x\mu\\2=-\lambda +2y\mu \\\lambda=11$

Replacing the value of $\lambda$ in the two first equations, we get

$1=11+2x\mu\\2=-11 +2y\mu$

From the first equation

$\displaystyle 2\mu=\frac{-10}{x}$

Replacing into the second

$\displaystyle 13=y\frac{-10}{x}$

Or, equivalently

$13x=-10y$

Squaring

$169x^2=100y^2$

To solve, we use the restriction h

$x^2 + y^2 = 1$

Multiplying by 100

$100x^2 + 100y^2 = 100$

Replacing the above condition

$100x^2 + 169x^2 = 100$

Solving for x

$\displaystyle x=\pm \frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}$

We compute the values of y by solving

$13x=-10y$

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{13x}{10}$

For

$\displaystyle x= \frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}$

$\displaystyle y= -\frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}$

And for

$\displaystyle x= -\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}$

$\displaystyle y= \frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}$

Finally, we get z using the other restriction

$x - y + z = 1$

Or:

$z = 1-x+y$

The first solution yields to

$\displaystyle z = 1-\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}-\frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}$

$\displaystyle z = \frac{-23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

And the second solution gives us

$\displaystyle z = 1+\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}+\frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}$

$\displaystyle z = \frac{23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

Complete first solution:

$\displaystyle x= \frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle y= -\frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle z = \frac{-23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

Replacing into f, we get

f(x,y,z)=-0.4

Complete second solution:

$\displaystyle x= -\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle y= \frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle z = \frac{23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

Replacing into f, we get

f(x,y,z)=2.4

The second solution maximizes f to 2.4
