The Lagrangian is

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)





Case 1: If
, then

Then


So we have two critical points,
and 
Case 2: If
, then in the first equation we get

and from the third equation,

Then


but there are no real solutions for
, so this case yields no additional critical points.
So at the two critical points we've found, we get extreme values of
(min)
and
(max)
Ince they are equal in absolute value and merely differ in being positve or negative, result in a sum of 0
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We know that:</u>
- Samantha = 15 + 2x
- Matt = 3 + 4x
- Samantha = Matt
- [x = Number of hours]
<u>Solution:</u>
- 15 + 2x = 3 + 4x
- => 15 - 3 = -2x + 4x
- => 12 = 2x
- => x = 6
Hence, after 6 hours of work, Samantha and Matt will have the same amount.
Answer:
x=-1/3
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Not sure if this correct tho
Answer:
25 males and 8 females.
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the number of males and y = number of females we have the system:
x + y = 33
x - y = 17 Adding:
2x = 50
x = 25
so y = 33 - 25 = 8.
