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.

2. Think of the top and middle shelves as two lines cut by a transversal. What type of angles are
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Angles 1 and 5 are corresponding angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the different types of angles formed by a transversal:

1. Corresponding angles are angles that lie on the <em>same side</em> of the transversal line. Angles 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, and 11 are corresponding angles because they are all on the left side of the transversal (the line that cuts through the other lines). Angles 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 are corresponding angles because they are all on the right side of the transversal.

2. Alternate interior angles are angles that are nonadjacent angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal and in between the horizontal lines. Here the alternate interior angles are 3 and 6, 4 and 5, 7 and 10, and 8 and 9.

3. Alternate exterior angles are those that are nonadjacent and lie on the outside of the horizontal lines. In this diagram, angles 1 and 12 and angles 2 and 11 are alternate exterior.

4. Same-side interior angles are angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and in between the horizontal lines. The same-side interior angles in this diagram are angles 3 and 5, 7 and 9, 4 and 6, and 8 and 10.

Find the product of 8x93 using distributive property. Show the steps and the solution
lesya692 [45]

Explanation:

Distributive property: → a(b+c)=ab+ac

Multiply by the numbers from left to right.

93*8=744

Then, you can also divide into the numbers.

744/8=93

744/93=8

Product it's going to be multiply by the numbers, fractions, factors, and multiples.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
