Answer:

There is a <u>   min   </u>  value of <u>   800   </u> located at (x,y) = <u>   (16, 12)   </u>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's solve the second equation for y

4x+3y = 100

3y = 100-4x

y = (100-4x)/3

We'll plug that into the first equation

f(x,y) = 2x^2+2y^2

g(x) = 2x^2+2((100-4x)/3)^2

g(x) = 2x^2+(2/9)*(100-4x)^2

g(x) = 2x^2+(2/9)*(10,000-800x+16x^2)

This graphs a parabola that opens upward, due to the positive leading coefficient. This g(x) curve has its vertex point at the minimum.

Apply the derivative to help find the minimum

g(x) = 2x^2+(2/9)*(10,000-800x+16x^2)

g ' (x) = 4x+(2/9)*(-800+32x)

------------------------

Set the derivative function equal to 0 and solve for x

g ' (x) = 0

4x+(2/9)*(-800+32x) = 0

4x+(2/9)*(-800)+(2/9)*(32x) = 0

4x-1600/9+(64/9)x = 0

9(4x-1600/9+(64/9)x) = 9*0

36x-1600+64x = 0

100x-1600 = 0

100x = 1600

x = 1600/100

x = 16

Use this x value to find y

y = (100-4x)/3

y = (100-4*16)/3

y = (100-64)/3

y = 36/3

y = 12

-----------------------

Therefore, (x,y) = (16,12) leads to the largest value of f(x,y) = 2x^2+2y^2

That smallest f(x,y) value is...

f(x,y) = 2x^2+2y^2

f(16,12) = 2*16^2+2*12^2

f(16,12) = 800

Suzie bought an antique jewelry box for $34.50. It originally cost $8.75 when it was made. Its value has increased $0.75 a year
timama [110]

Answer:

if she would sell it for what it is worth now she would make $36.50

Step-by-step explanation:

0.75 x 83 = 62.5

62.5 + 8.75 = 71

71 is how much it is worth now

71 - 34.5 = 36.5

36.50 is how much she would make

Problem 1

With limits, you are looking to see what happens when x gets closer to some value. For example, as x gets closer to x = 2 (from the left and right side), then y is getting closer and closer to y = 1/2. Therefore the limiting value is 1/2

Another example: as x gets closer to x = 4 from the right hand side, the y value gets closer to y = 4. This y value is different if you approach x = 0 from the left side (y would approach y = 1/2)

Use examples like this and you'll get the results you see in "figure 1"

For any function values, you'll look for actual points on the graph. A point does not exist if there is an open circle. There is an open circle at x = 2 for instance, so that's why f(2) = UND. On the other hand, f(0) is defined and it is equal to 4 as the point (0,4) is on the function curve.

=======================================================

Problem 2

This is basically an extension of problem 1. The same idea applies. See "figure 2" (in the attached images) for the answers.

<h2>○=> <u>Correct options</u> :</h2><h2>□\color{plum}\tt\bold{(C) \: SR = 27}</h2><h2>□\color{plum}\tt\bold{(D) \: QR = 54 }</h2><h3><u>Steps to derive the correct options</u> :</h3>

Since two sides and one included angle is equal in △PQS and △PRS, we can conclude that they are congruent under the SAS congruence criterion.

Which means :

▪︎Angle S = Angle S

▪︎PS = PS

▪︎QS = RS

Given :

Measure of segment QS = 6n+3

Measure of segment RS = 4n+11

Thus :

= \tt6n + 3 = 4n + 11

= \tt6n + 3 - 4n = 11

=\tt 2n + 3 = 11

= \tt2n = 11 - 3

= \tt2n = 8

=\tt n =  \frac{8}{2}

\hookrightarrow\color{plum}\tt n = 4

Thus, the value of n = 4

Measure of segment QS :

=\tt 6n + 3

= \tt6 \times 4 + 3

= \tt24 + 3

\color{plum}\tt \: \bold{QS = 6n + 3 = \tt\bold{27}}

Thus, measure of QS = 27

Measure of RS :

=\tt 4n + 11

=\tt 4 × 4 + 11

=\tt 16+11

\color{plum}\tt \: \bold{RS = 4n + 11 = \tt\bold{27}}

Measure of QR :

=\tt 27+27

\color{plum}\tt \: \bold{QR = 27+27 \tt\bold{=54}}

Thus :

▪︎QS = 27

▪︎RS = 27

▪︎QR = 54

Therefore, the correct options are :

▪︎(C) SR = 27

▪︎(D) QR = 54
