Your answer would be
This is because (w^5)^-7 expands to give w^-35 because you multiply the exponents. When you have a negative exponent, this can also be written as a reciprocal, i.e. x^-2 = 1/x². This means that we can write w^-35 as 1/(w^35), which doesn't include any negative exponents.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
Wow, Lagrange multipliers in high school!
As a rule with these Lagrange multiplier problems, when the problem is symmetrical with respect to interchange of the variables, the solution almost always ends up with all the variables equal -- what else could it be?
We want to maximize the area of a rectangle with sides x and y subject to the perimeter being constant.
(i)
The area of a rectangle is just the product of its sides:
A = f(x,y) = xy
(ii)
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its sides:
P = g(x,y) = x + x + y + y = 2x+2y
(iii)
Usually I like to form the objective function E=f-λg before I take the derivatives. I usually use a lambda not a gamma for the multiplier.
Let's do what they ask. They want the gradient ∇f(x, y)
∇f(x, y) = (y, x)
(iv)
λ∇g(x, y) = (2λ, 2λ)
(v)
I'm not sure what γ=1/2y is about; I'll solve it like I know how and see where we are.
There it is. We get
y = 2λ
so we also find
x = 2λ
(vi)
We have y=x=2λ so we've shown the variables are equal, i.e. our rectangle is a square. We can solve for λ using our constraint:
P = 2x+2y = 8λ
λ=P/8
so as expected we have a square with side length P/4:
x=y=2λ=P/4
Answer:
-36
Step-by-step explanation:
3*12=36
she is going down (negative) so, it is -36
not sure if this is what you are asking for, if not try this
0-12-12-12=-36
Answer:
19 points
Step-by-step explanation:
convert points to percents:
20 points = 100%
19 points = 95%
18 points = 90%
17 points = 85%
percent-wise, her average prior to another quiz is 92.5
so if she wants to keep to maintain that average she must get 18 1/2 points; if teacher doesn't award partial credit then she needs to get a full 19 points
