Answer:
1. More magnets are longer than 2 1/2
2. 10 magnets measure in whole numbers and 5 magnets between 2 whole numbers
3. Because the shortest magnet is 1 inch and the longest magnet is 4 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. There are 7 magnets that are longer than 7 1/2 and only 6 magnets that are shorter than 2 1/2. (The 2 magnets that are exactly 2 1/2 are neither longer nor shorter therefore they do not apply to the question.)
Using Lagrange multipliers, we have the Lagrangian

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)




Substituting the first three equations into the fourth allows us to solve for

:

For each possible value of

, we get two corresponding critical points at

.
At these points, respectively, we get a maximum value of

and a minimum value of

.
I will show you the steps on how you get that answer and if you have any questions after that let me know and I'd be more than happy to help answer them for you.
The first step for solving (1 + y)² is to use the equation (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² to expand the expression.
1² + 2 × 1y + y²
1 raised to any power equals 1,, so remove the power.
1 + 2 × 1y + y²
Calculate the product of 2 × 1y.
1 + 2y + y²
Finally,, use the commutative property to reorder the terms.
y² + 2y + 1
Let me know if you have any further questions.
