The distance between an arbitrary point on the surface and the origin is

d(x,y,z)=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}

Recall that for differentiable functions g(x) and h(x), the composition g(h(x)) attains extrema at the same points that h(x) does, so we can consider an augmented distance function

D(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2

The Lagrangian would then be

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda(y^2-64-xz)

We have partial derivatives

\begin{cases}L_x=2x-\lambda z\\L_y=2y+2y\lambda\\L_z=2z-\lambda x\\L_\lambda=y^2-64-xz\end{cases}

Set each partial derivative to 0 and solve the system to find the critical points.

From the second equation it follows that either y=0 or \lambda=-1. In the first case we arrive at a contradiction (I'll leave establishing that to you). If \lambda=-1, then we have

\begin{cases}2x+z=0\\2z+x=0\end{cases}\implies x=0,z=0

This means y^2=64\implies y=\pm8

so that the points on the surface closest to the origin are (0,\pm8,0).

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

note that 4096 = 8^{4} , then

8^{2x} = 8^{4}

Since bases on both sides are equal, both 8 , then equate the exponents

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

Emery bought 3 cans of beans that had a total weight of 2.4 pounds. If each can of beans weighed the same amount, which model co
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

  • y=0.8x
  • A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of cans with entries 5, 15, 20. Column 2 is labeled total weight (in pounds) with entries 4, 12, 16.
  • On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled number of cans and the y-axis is labeled total weight (in pounds. A line goes through points (5, 4) and (15, 12).

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Statement 1</u>

If 3 cans of beans weigh 2.4 pounds

Then 1 Can will weigh (2.4 ÷ 3)=0.8 Pounds

If y is the total weight of x number of cans, then: y=0.8x

<u>Statement 2</u>

If x=5, then y=0.8(5)=4

If x=15, then y=0.8(15)=12

If x=20, then y=0.8(20)=16

Therefore the below statement applies:

A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of cans with entries 5, 15, 20. Column 2 is labeled total weight (in pounds) with entries 4, 12, 16.

<u>Statement 3</u>

From the pair of points above, we have (5,4) and (15,12). Therefore if on a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled number of cans and the y-axis is labeled total weight (in pounds.) A line goes through points (5, 4) and (15, 12).

Compare the values 4x107 is what times as much as 4x103
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

10^{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 10^7 is 40000000

4 x 10^3 is 4000

We are told that 4x10^7 is something times as much as 4x10^3

So we will work backwards to find the answer,

If you divide 40000000 by 4000 you will get 10000

10000 is the same as 10^4
