Answer: There is no one specific formula

Step-by-step explanation:

The math to determine a percentage is to divide the numerator (the number on top of the fraction) by the denominator (the number on the bottom of the fraction), then multiply the answer by 100. For example, the fraction 6/12 turns into a decimal like this: 6 divided by 12 (which equals . 5) times 100 equals 50 percent

Answer: 82

Step-by-step explanation:

We simply need to substitute the values for x and y into the equation

Both variables are already given to us, x=9, y=2

The plane x + y + z = 12 intersects paraboloid z = x^2 + y^2 in an ellipse.(a) Find the highest and the lowest points on the ell

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Highest (-3,-3)

Lowest (2,2)

Farthest (-3,-3)

Closest (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we will be using Lagrange multipliers.

Let us find out first the restriction, which is the projection of the intersection on the XY-plane.

From x+y+z=12 we get z=12-x-y and replace this in the equation of the paraboloid:

$\bf 12-x-y=x^2+y^2\Rightarrow x^2+y^2+x+y=12$

completing the squares:

$\bf x^2+y^2+x+y=12\Rightarrow (x+1/2)^2-1/4+(y+1/2)^2-1/4=12\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow (x+1/2)^2+(y+1/2)^2=12+1/2\Rightarrow (x+1/2)^2+(y+1/2)^2=25/2$

and we want the maximum and minimum of the paraboloid when (x,y) varies on the circumference we just found. That is, we want the maximum and minimum of

$\bf f(x,y)=x^2+y^2$

subject to the constraint

$\bf g(x,y)=(x+1/2)^2+(y+1/2)^2-25/2=0$

Now we have

$\bf \nabla f=(\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial x},\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial y})=(2x,2y)\\\\\nabla g=(\displaystyle\frac{\partial g}{\partial x},\displaystyle\frac{\partial g}{\partial y})=(2x+1,2y+1)$

Let $\bf \lambda$ be the Lagrange multiplier.

The maximum and minimum must occur at points where

$\bf \nabla f=\lambda\nabla g$

that is,

$\bf (2x,2y)=\lambda(2x+1,2y+1)\Rightarrow 2x=\lambda (2x+1)\;,2y=\lambda (2y+1)$

we can assume (x,y)≠ (-1/2, -1/2) since that point is not in the restriction, so

$\bf \lambda=\displaystyle\frac{2x}{(2x+1)} \;,\lambda=\displaystyle\frac{2y}{(2y+1)}\Rightarrow \displaystyle\frac{2x}{(2x+1)}=\displaystyle\frac{2y}{(2y+1)}\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow 2x(2y+1)=2y(2x+1)\Rightarrow 4xy+2x=4xy+2y\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow x=y$

Replacing in the constraint

$\bf (x+1/2)^2+(x+1/2)^2-25/2=0\Rightarrow (x+1/2)^2=25/4\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow |x+1/2|=5/2$

from this we get

and the candidates for maximum and minimum are (2,2) and (-3,-3).

Replacing these values in f, we see that

f(-3,-3) = 9+9 = 18 is the maximum and

f(2,2) = 4+4 = 8 is the minimum

Since the square of the distance from any given point (x,y) on the paraboloid to (0,0) is f(x,y) itself, the maximum and minimum of the distance are reached at the points we just found.

We have then,

(-3,-3) is the farthest from the origin

(2,2) is the closest to the origin.
