Answer: 1 5/6, or 11/6, or 1.83333333

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{6}{3} + -\frac{1}{6}$

6/3 is 2.

Thus, the answer is 2 - 1/6 or 1 5/6

Answer:

11/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find a common denominator for the 2 fractions.

A common denominator for 3 and 6 is 6.

Let’s get the fraction 6/3 to a denominator of 6.

Multiply by 2/2

6/3 * 2/2

(6*2) / (3*2)

12/6

Now the fractions have common denominators and can be added.

12/6 + (-1/6)

When adding negative fractions, you can simply subtract.

12/6 - 1/6

Subtract across the numerator and leave the denominator as is

11/6

This fraction can be written as: 2 1/6, 11/6, or 1.83333

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

first do 28+32.

Next it equals 60. So change 60 to percentage form. It would be 60%

Answer: C. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is calculated by y2-y1 over x2-y1. If we plug the numbers in we will get 6 over 3 as our slope which simplifies to our answer 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

x=-1/2 + 5/2 = 2 or x = -1/2 - 5/2 = -3

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.
