Answer:
9, 10, 11, 12, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-2)+(x-1)+x+(x+1)+(x+2) = 55
5x = 55
x = 11
Answer
the answer is 8 so your welcome
The distance between a point

on the given plane and the point (0, 2, 4) is

but since

and

share critical points, we can instead consider the problem of optimizing

subject to

.
The Lagrangian is

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)




Solve for

:


which gives the critical point

We can confirm that this is a minimum by checking the Hessian matrix of

:


is positive definite (we see its determinant and the determinants of its leading principal minors are positive), which indicates that there is a minimum at this critical point.
At this point, we get a distance from (0, 2, 4) of
The length of the rope in this case becomes the radius of the circle that the goat is able to graze. The area of the circle is calculated through the equation,
A = πr²
Substituting,
A = π(5m)² = 78.54 m²
Thus, the area that the goat is able to graze is equal to 78.54 m².
