Answer:

2.26

Explanation:

Given: log base 3 and 12

Using the base rule, we can write it as

= log 12 / log 3

Now we can find the value of log 12 and log 3 using a calculator.

= 1.07918124 /0.477121754

=2.26

The answer is 2.26

Answer: 3.50x + 4.00y ≤ 45

0 < y < 11.25

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$3.50x + 4.00y \leq 45\\\\\\\text{Subtract 3.50x from both sides:}\\4.00y\leq -3.50x+45\\\\\\\text{Divide everything by 4.00 (to isolate y):}\\\dfrac{4.00y}{4.00}\leq \dfrac{-3.50x}{4.00}+\dfrac{45}{4.00}\\\\\\y\leq-0.875x+11.25\\\\\\\text{Both x and y must be greater than zero, so:}\\0$

The Lagrangian

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda(x^4+y^4+z^4-13)$

has critical points where the first derivatives vanish:

$L_x=2x+4\lambda x^3=2x(1+2\lambda x^2)=0\implies x=0\text{ or }x^2=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}$

$L_y=2y+4\lambda y^3=2y(1+2\lambda y^2)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }y^2=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}$

$L_z=2z+4\lambda z^3=2z(1+2\lambda z^2)=0\implies z=0\text{ or }z^2=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}$

$L_\lambda=x^4+y^4+z^4-13=0$

We can't have $x=y=z=0$ , since that contradicts the last condition.

(0 critical points)

If two of them are zero, then the remaining variable has two possible values of $\pm\sqrt[4]{13}$ . For example, if $y=z=0$ , then $x^4=13\implies x=\pm\sqrt[4]{13}$ .

(6 critical points; 2 for each non-zero variable)

If only one of them is zero, then the squares of the remaining variables are equal and we would find $\lambda=-\frac1{\sqrt{26}}$ (taking the negative root because $x^2,y^2,z^2$ must be non-negative), and we can immediately find the critical points from there. For example, if $z=0$ , then $x^4+y^4=13$ . If both $x,y$ are non-zero, then $x^2=y^2=-\frac1{2\lambda}$ , and

$xL_x+yL_y=2(x^2+y^2)+52\lambda=-\dfrac2\lambda+52\lambda=0\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt{26}}$

$\implies x^2=\sqrt{\dfrac{13}2}\implies x=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}2}$

and for either choice of $x$ , we can independently choose from $y=\pm\sqrt[4]{\frac{13}2}$ .

(12 critical points; 3 ways of picking one variable to be zero, and 4 choices of sign for the remaining two variables)

If none of the variables are zero, then $x^2=y^2=z^2=-\frac1{2\lambda}$ . We have

$xL_x+yL_y+zL_z=2(x^2+y^2+z^2)+52\lambda=-\dfrac3\lambda+52\lambda=0\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{39}}{26}$

$\implies x^2=\sqrt{\dfrac{13}3}\implies x=\pm\sqrt[4]{\dfrac{13}3}$

and similary $y,z$ have the same solutions whose signs can be picked independently of one another.

(8 critical points)

Now evaluate $f$ at each critical point; you should end up with a maximum value of $\sqrt{39}$ and a minimum value of $\sqrt{13}$ (both occurring at various critical points).
