Answer:

Collin: about $401 thousand

Cameron: about $689 thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

A situation in which doubling time is constant is a situation that can be modeled by an exponential function. Here, you're given an exponential function, though you're not told what the variables mean. That function is ...

P(t)=P_0(2^{t/d})

In this context, P0 is the initial salary, t is years, and d is the doubling time in years. The function gives P(t), the salary after t years. In this problem, the value of t we're concerned with is the difference between age 22 and age 65, that is, 43 years.

In Collin's case, we have ...

P0 = 55,000, t = 43, d = 15

so his salary at retirement is ...

P(43) = $55,000(2^(43/15)) ≈ $401,157.89

In Cameron's case, we have ...

P0 = 35,000, t = 43, d = 10

so his salary at retirement is ...

P(43) = $35,000(2^(43/10)) ≈ $689,440.87

___

Sometimes we like to see these equations in a form with "e" as the base of the exponential. That form is ...

P(t)=P_{0}e^{kt}

If we compare this equation to the one above, we find the growth factors to be ...

2^(t/d) = e^(kt)

Factoring out the exponent of t, we find ...

(2^(1/d))^t = (e^k)^t

That is, ...

2^(1/d) = e^k . . . . . match the bases of the exponential terms

(1/d)ln(2) = k . . . . . take the natural log of both sides

So, in Collin's case, the equation for his salary growth is

k = ln(2)/15 ≈ 0.046210

P(t) = 55,000e^(0.046210t)

and in Cameron's case, ...

k = ln(2)/10 ≈ 0.069315

P(t) = 35,000e^(0.069315t)

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of
marusya05 [52]

The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,\lambda)=x+8y+\lambda(x^2+y^2-4)

It has critical points where the first order derivatives vanish:

L_x=1+2\lambda x=0\implies\lambda=-\dfrac1{2x}

L_y=8+2\lambda y=0\implies\lambda=-\dfrac4y

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

From the first two equations we get

-\dfrac1{2x}=-\dfrac4y\implies y=8x

Then

x^2+y^2=65x^2=4\implies x=\pm\dfrac2{\sqrt{65}}\implies y=\pm\dfrac{16}{\sqrt{65}}

At these critical points, we have

f\left(\dfrac2{\sqrt{65}},\dfrac{16}{\sqrt{65}}\right)=2\sqrt{65}\approx16.125 (maximum)

f\left(-\dfrac2{\sqrt{65}},-\dfrac{16}{\sqrt{65}}\right)=-2\sqrt{65}\approx-16.125 (minimum)

At a drive through restaurant Juan’s family ordered a small drink and m medium drinks. Alex’s family ordered m medium drinks and
sertanlavr [38]

<u>Answer: </u>

Expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x, y, z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that  

Juan’s family ordered a small drink and m medium drinks.

Alex family ordered m medium drinks and a large drink.

Need to write an algebraic expression which shows total cost of both order in dollars.

Let’s assume cost of one small drink = x

And assume cost of one medium drink = y

And assume cost of one large drink = z

So now cost of order of Juan’s family is equal to cost of 1 small drink + cost of m medium drinks = 1 \times x + m \times y

= x + my

And cost of order of Alex family is equal to cost of m medium drinks + cost of one large drink

= m x y + 1 x z

=my + z

So total cost of both order in dollars = x + my + my + z = x + 2my + z

Hence expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x , y , z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.
