A store charges $280 for a coat. This price is 40 percent more than the amount it cost the store to buy the coat. At the end-of-

season sale, the store employees can purchase any remaining coats at 30 percent off the price that store paid for them. How much would it cost an employee to purchase the coat at the sale?

So 280=1.4x so 280/1.4 is 200 .7*200 is 140 so $140

Find a fraction with a demominator of 30 that is equivalent to 1/3

Harman [31]

Answer:

10/30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply the denominator by 10 to make 30.

Then, since we multiplied the denominator, we multiply the numerator. 1 x 10= 10

Therefore the answer is 10/30.

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of (i) f(x,y)-81x^2+y^2 subject to the constraint 4x^2+y^2=9. (i

sp2606 [1]

i. The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,\lambda)=81x^2+y^2+\lambda(4x^2+y^2-9)$

with critical points whenever

$L_x=162x+8\lambda x=0\implies2x(81+4\lambda)=0\implies x=0\text{ or }\lambda=-\dfrac{81}4$

$L_y=2y+2\lambda y=0\implies2y(1+\lambda)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }\lambda=-1$

$L_\lambda=4x^2+y^2-9=0$

If $x=0$ , then $L_\lambda=0\implies y=\pm3$ .
If $y=0$ , then $L_\lambda=0\implies x=\pm\dfrac32$ .
Either value of $\lambda$ found above requires that either $x=0$ or $y=0$ , so we get the same critical points as in the previous two cases.

We have $f(0,-3)=9$ , $f(0,3)=9$ , $f\left(-\dfrac32,0\right)=\dfrac{729}4=182.25$ , and $f\left(\dfrac32,0\right)=\dfrac{729}4$ , so $f$ has a minimum value of 9 and a maximum value of 182.25.

ii. The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=y^2-10z+\lambda(x^2+y^2+z^2-36)$

with critical points whenever

$L_x=2\lambda x=0\implies x=0$ (because we assume $\lambda\neq0$ )

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

$L_z=-10+2\lambda z=0\implies z=\dfrac5\lambda$

$L_\lambda=x^2+y^2+z^2-36=0$

If $x=y=0$ , then $L_\lambda=0\implies z=\pm6$ .
If $\lambda=-1$ , then $z=-5$ , and with $x=0$ we have $L_\lambda=0\implies y=\pm\sqrt{11}$ .

We have $f(0,0,-6)=60$ , $f(0,0,6)=-60$ , $f(0,-\sqrt{11},-5)=61$ , and $f(0,\sqrt{11},-5)=61$ . So $f$ has a maximum value of 61 and a minimum value of -60.
