Answer:

c) $200

Step-by-step explanation:

if the farmer wishes to earn $1500 per year he needs 1500/75=20 trees producing fruit

Because each tree produces 75$ of fruit per year

if we wants 20 trees he has to spend 20*$10=$200

Because each tree has a cost of 10$

identify the graph of 9x^2-25y^2=225 for t(0 5) and write an equation of the translated or rotated graph in general form

tamaranim1 [39]

ANSWER

The required equation is:

$9 {x}^{2} - 25{y}^{2} + 250y - 85 0=0$

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

$9 {x}^{2} - 25 {y}^{2} = 225$

Dividing through by 225 we obtain;

$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{25} - \frac{ {y}^{2} }{9} = 1$

This is a hyperbola that has it's centre at the origin.

If this hyperbola is translated so that its center is now at (0,5).

Then its equation becomes:

$\frac{ {(x - 0)}^{2} }{25} - \frac{ {(y - 5)}^{2} }{9} = 1$

We multiply through by 225 to get;

$9 {x}^{2} - 25( {y - 5})^{2} = 225$

We now expand to get;

$9 {x}^{2} - 25( {y}^{2} - 10y + 25 )= 225$

$9 {x}^{2} - 25{y}^{2} + 250y - 6 25 = 225$

The equation of the hyperbola in general form is

$9 {x}^{2} - 25{y}^{2} + 250y - 85 0=0$

Find the distance between points M and N.<br>M= (3,-2)<br>N= (5,-6)

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for distance between points is $\sqrt{(x.2-x.1)^{2} +(y.2-y.1)^{2}$

So when you inserts the coordinates in this formula, it would be $\sqrt{(-2-3)^2+(-6-5)^2}$

$\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-11)^2}$

$\sqrt{25+121}$

$\sqrt{146}$

=12.08305

Usually, distance is round to whole number. So, it would be 12

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y)=x+4y subject to the constraint x2+y2=9, if such values

Vesnalui [34]

The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,\lambda)=x+4y+\lambda(x^2+y^2-9)$

with critical points where the partial derivatives vanish.

$L_x=1+2\lambda x=0\implies x=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}$

$L_y=4+2\lambda y=0\implies y=-\dfrac2\lambda$

$L_\lambda=x^2+y^2-9=0$

Substitute $x,y$ into the last equation and solve for $\lambda$ :

$\left(-\dfrac1{2\lambda}\right)^2+\left(-\dfrac2\lambda\right)^2=9\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}6$

Then we get two critical points,

$(x,y)=\left(-\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},-\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)\text{ and }(x,y)=\left(\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)$

We get an absolute maximum of $3\sqrt{17}\approx12.369$ at the second point, and an absolute minimum of $-3\sqrt{17}\approx-12.369$ at the first point.
