What is the linear function equation represented by the graph?

igor_vitrenko [27]

Look at the picture.

The point-slope form of a line:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (0, 1) and (2, 0). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{0-1}{2-0}=\dfrac{-1}{2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\y-1=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-0)\\\\y-1=-\dfrac{1}{2}x\qquad|+1\\\\y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+1$

Answer: $f(x)=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+1$

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of (i) f(x,y)-81x^2+y^2 subject to the constraint 4x^2+y^2=9. (i

sp2606 [1]

i. The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,\lambda)=81x^2+y^2+\lambda(4x^2+y^2-9)$

with critical points whenever

$L_x=162x+8\lambda x=0\implies2x(81+4\lambda)=0\implies x=0\text{ or }\lambda=-\dfrac{81}4$

$L_y=2y+2\lambda y=0\implies2y(1+\lambda)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }\lambda=-1$

$L_\lambda=4x^2+y^2-9=0$

If $x=0$ , then $L_\lambda=0\implies y=\pm3$ .
If $y=0$ , then $L_\lambda=0\implies x=\pm\dfrac32$ .
Either value of $\lambda$ found above requires that either $x=0$ or $y=0$ , so we get the same critical points as in the previous two cases.

We have $f(0,-3)=9$ , $f(0,3)=9$ , $f\left(-\dfrac32,0\right)=\dfrac{729}4=182.25$ , and $f\left(\dfrac32,0\right)=\dfrac{729}4$ , so $f$ has a minimum value of 9 and a maximum value of 182.25.

ii. The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=y^2-10z+\lambda(x^2+y^2+z^2-36)$

with critical points whenever

$L_x=2\lambda x=0\implies x=0$ (because we assume $\lambda\neq0$ )

$L_y=2y+2\lambda y=0\implies 2y(1+\lambda)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }\lambda=-1$

$L_z=-10+2\lambda z=0\implies z=\dfrac5\lambda$

$L_\lambda=x^2+y^2+z^2-36=0$

If $x=y=0$ , then $L_\lambda=0\implies z=\pm6$ .
If $\lambda=-1$ , then $z=-5$ , and with $x=0$ we have $L_\lambda=0\implies y=\pm\sqrt{11}$ .

We have $f(0,0,-6)=60$ , $f(0,0,6)=-60$ , $f(0,-\sqrt{11},-5)=61$ , and $f(0,\sqrt{11},-5)=61$ . So $f$ has a maximum value of 61 and a minimum value of -60.

Show all work to factor x4 – 17x2 + 16 completely.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

(x - 4)(x + 4)(x - 1)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x^{4}$ - 17x² + 16

Use the substitution u = x², then

u² - 17u + 16

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 16) which sum to give the coefficient of the u- term (- 17)

The factors are - 16 and - 1, then

u² - 17u + 16

= (u - 16)(u - 1) ← replace u by x²

= (x² - 16)(x² - 1) ← both factors are difference of squares

= (x - 4)(x + 4)(x - 1)(x + 1)
