Answer:

a)

Highest (-3,-3)

Lowest (2,2)

b)

Farthest (-3,-3)

Closest (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we will be using Lagrange multipliers.

a)

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

<em>x=-1/2 + 5/2 = 2 or x = -1/2 - 5/2 = -3 </em>

<em> </em>

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

b)

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.

The angles of a triangle will always add up to be 180 degrees total.

x + 82 + x + 82 + 40 = 180
2x + 164 + 40 = 180
2x + 204 = 180
Subtract 204 from both sides.
Think of it as “180 + (-204)”
2x = -24
Divide each side by 2.
x = -12

The quotient of any two numbers, with the condition that the denominator is different from zero
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The quotient of any two numbers can be written as:

A/B

such that:

A, B ∈ {R}

Where {R} is the set of all real numbers.

But we also have the restriction that the denominator, B in this case, must be different than zero.

So we can define the set:

{R \ {0}}

As the set of all the real numbers minus the element 0.

So in this set we do not have the number zero, so now we can write our expression as:

A/B

A ∈ {R}, B ∈ {R \ {0}}

Sydney purchases a new car for $27,500. The value of the car decreases at rate of 15% each year. In approximately will the $1,25
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of car P = $27,500

Decrease rate r = 15% = 0.15

Final amount A = $1,254

Find:

Time taken n

Computation:

A = P[1-r]ⁿ

1,254 = 27,500[1-0.15]ⁿ

0.0456 = [0.85]ⁿ

Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)
