−37m=12

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 7/(-3).

(7−3)*(−37m)=(7−3)*(12)

m=−28

answer

m=−28

A herd of horses split and went to three areas. One fourth of the herd of horses was seen in the forest. Twice the square root o

melamori03 [73]

Answer:the total number of horses in the herd is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of horses in the herd.

One fourth of the herd of horses was seen in the forest. This means that the number of horses that was seen in the forest would be

1/4 × x = x/4

Twice the square root of the herd had gone to the mountain slopes. This means that the number of horses that had gone to the mountain slopes would be

2 × √x = 2√x

Three times five horses remained on the riverbank. This means that the number that remained would be

3 × 5 = 15

Therefore

x/4 + 2√x + 15 = x

x - x/4 - 15 = 2√x

(4x - x - 60)/4 = 2√x

(3x - 60)/4 = 2√x

Cross multiplying,

3x - 60 = 8√x

Squaring both sides of the equation, it becomes

(3x - 60)(3x - 60) = 64x

9x² - 180x - 180x + 3600 = 64x

9x² - 360x - 64x + 3600 = 0

9x² - 424x + 3600 = 0

Applying the quadratic equation

x = (- b ±√b² - 4ac)/2a

x = ( - - 424 ± √-424² - 4(9 × 3600)/2 × 9

x = (424 ± √179776 - 129600)/18

x = (424 ±√50176)/18

x = (424 + 224)/18 or

x = (424 - 224)/18

x = 36 or x = 11.11

the number of horses must be whole number. Therefore, the number of horses is 36

Find the critical points of the surface f(x, y) = x3 - 6xy + y3 and determine their nature.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Compute the gradient of $f$ .

$\nabla f(x,y) = \left\langle 3x^2 - 6y, -6x + 3y^2\right\rangle$

Set this equal to the zero vector and solve for the critical points.

$3x^2-6y = 0 \implies x^2 = 2y$

$-6x+3y^2=0 \implies y^2 = 2x \implies y = \pm\sqrt{2x}$

$\implies x^2 = \pm2\sqrt{2x}$

$\implies x^4 = 8x$

$\implies x^4 - 8x = 0$

$\implies x (x-2) (x^2 + 2x + 4) = 0$

$\implies x = 0 \text{ or } x-2 = 0 \text{ or } x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0$

$\implies x = 0 \text{ or } x = 2 \text{ or } (x+1)^2 + 3 = 0$

The last case has no real solution, so we can ignore it.

Now,

$x=0 \implies 0^2 = 2y \implies y=0$

$x=2 \implies 2^2 = 2y \implies y=2$

so we have two critical points (0, 0) and (2, 2).

Compute the Hessian matrix (i.e. Jacobian of the gradient).

$H(x,y) = \begin{bmatrix} 6x & -6 \\ -6 & 6y \end{bmatrix}$

Check the sign of the determinant of the Hessian at each of the critical points.

$\det H(0,0) = \begin{vmatrix} 0 & -6 \\ -6 & 0 \end{vmatrix} = -36 < 0$

which indicates a saddle point at (0, 0);

$\det H(2,2) = \begin{vmatrix} 12 & -6 \\ -6 & 12 \end{vmatrix} = 108 > 0$

We also have $f_{xx}(2,2) = 12 > 0$ , which together indicate a local minimum at (2, 2).
