<span>It looks like you're supposed to pick a combination of two answers:
an absolute-value inequality, and
a sentence describing the meaning of that inequality.
We've got two choices for each, and therefore four possible combinations of choices.
First, let's tackle the sentence description. We're told that
"it [the cost] could differ [from the average of $32] as much as $8."
That sets a maximum value for the difference; it's UP TO $8.
If the cost is less than average, it could be as little as
$32 - $8 = $24
and if the cost is more than average, it could be as much as
$32 + $8 = $40.
So the medication costs range from $24 to $40, and we want an answer that states that.
Now for the inequalities:
|x - 32| describes the SIZE of the difference. Using the absolute-value function means we don't distinguish between
x - 32
and
32 - x
as far as our interests are concerned; we eliminate the sign from the subtraction and just look at the size of the difference.
But in the case we're looking at, we've got a MAXIMUM value for the difference; it can't be more than 8. The inequality
|x - 32| ≥ 8
says the difference is 8 or MORE, so we don't want that. Instead, we want
|x - 32| ≤ 8
which says the difference is anywhere from 0 to 8.
Combining these conclusions, we see we're looking for this answer:
|x - 32| ≤ 8; The medication costs range from $24 to $40
which is the third one listed.</span>
Hope this helps explain it
Answer:
critical point of the given function f(x,y) = x²+y²+2xy is from line y = -x is the critical point of the function f(x0,y0) = 0
and it local minimum.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the given function be;
f(x,y) = x²+y²+2xy
From above function, we can locate relative minima, maxima and the saddle point
f(x,y) = x²+y²+2xy = (x+y)²
df/dx = 2x+2y = 0 ---- (1)
df/dy =2y+2x = 0 ---- (2)
From eqn 1 and 2 above,
The arbitrary point (x0,y0) from line y = -x is the critical point of the function f(x0,y0) = 0
Then, from f(x,y) >= 0 for arbitrary (x,y) € R^n, the arbitrary point from the line x = -y is local minima of the function f.
Y= mx+b is the formula for writing and equation for slope.
