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.

1. Suppose that the cost of producing x tablets is defined by
vredina [299]

Answer:

we are given

part-A:

Since, x is number of tablets

C(x) is cost of producing x tablets

so, vertical box is C(x)

so, we write in vertical box is "cost of producing x tablets"

Horizontal box is x

so, we write in horizontal box is "number of tablets"

part-B:

we have to find average on [a,b]

we can use formula

we are given point as

a: (15 , 395)

a=15 and C(15)=395

b: (20, 480)

b=20 , C(20)=480

now, we can plug values

...........Answer

part-c:

we have to find average on [b,c]

we can use formula

we are given point as

b: (20, 480)

b=20 , C(20)=480

c:(25,575)

c=25 , C(c)=575

now, we can plug values

How are X and Y related?
Mamont248 [21]
<h3>The relationship between x and y is called a linear relationship because the points so plotted all lie on a single straight line. The number 95 in the equation y=95x+32 is the slope of the line, and measures its steepness.</h3>
