For this case we assume that the photo album is rectangular in shape and therefore the fabric too. By definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

$A = a * b$

Where:

a: It is the length of the rectangle

b: It is the width of the rectangle

According to the problem data we have to:

$b =\frac {5}{8} \yard\\A = \frac {5} {16} \ yards ^ 2$

Substituting:

$\frac {5} {16} = a * \frac {5} {8}$

We clear "a":

$a = \frac {\frac {5} {16}} {\frac {5} {8}}\\a = \frac {5 * 8} {16 * 5}\\a = \frac {8} {16}\\a = \frac {1} {2}$

Thus, the length of the fabric is $\frac {1} {2} yards.$

ANswer:

The length of the fabric is $\frac {1} {2} yards.$

Find the derivative of f(x)= e^(4x) + e^-(4x)

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

$f'(x)=4e^{4x} -4e^{-4x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this derivative, we will need to use the chain rule.

As there is a variable in the exponent we can use this formula:

$f'(x)=u'e^u$

In this case, $u=4x$ and $u=-4x$

This means that $u'=4$ and $u'=-4$ respectively

This gives us $f'(x)=4e^{4x} -4e^{-4x}$

Find the missing side length. Leave your answer as a radical in the simplest form

seraphim [82]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x = y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle with a 45° angle is an isosceles right triangle. That means the legs are both the same length. The side ratios of such a triangle are ...

1 : 1 : √2

Multiplying these ratios by 12 gives ...

12 : 12 : 12√2 = x : y : 12√2

The side lengths x and y are both 12 units.

Find the maximum and minimum values attained by f(x, y, z) = 5xyz on the unit ball x2 + y2 + z2 ≤ 1.

Allushta [10]

Check for critical points within the unit ball by solving for when the first-order partial derivatives vanish:
$f_x=5yz=0\implies y=0\text{ or }z=0$
$f_y=5xz=0\implies x=0\text{ or }z=0$
$f_z=5xy=0\implies x=0\text{ or }y=0$

Taken together, we find that (0, 0, 0) appears to be the only critical point on $f$ within the ball. At this point, we have $f(0,0,0)=0$ .

Now let's use the method of Lagrange multipliers to look for critical points on the boundary. We have the Lagrangian

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=5xyz+\lambda(x^2+y^2+z^2-1)$

with partial derivatives (set to 0)

$L_x=5yz+2\lambda x=0$
$L_y=5xz+2\lambda y=0$
$L_z=5xy+2\lambda z=0$
$L_\lambda=x^2+y^2+z^2-1=0$

We then observe that

$xL_x+yL_y+zL_z=0\implies15xyz+2\lambda=0\implies\lambda=-\dfrac{15xyz}2$

So, ignoring the critical point we've already found at (0, 0, 0),

$5yz+2\left(-\dfrac{15xyz}2\right)x=0\implies5yz(1-3x^2)=0\implies x=\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt3}$
$5xz+2\left(-\dfrac{15xyz}2\right)y=0\implies5xz(1-3y^2)=0\implies y=\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt3}$
$5xy+2\left(-\dfrac{15xyz}2\right)z=0\implies5xy(1-3z^2)=0\implies z=\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt3}$

So ultimately, we have 9 critical points - 1 at the origin (0, 0, 0), and 8 at the various combinations of $\left(\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt3},\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt3},\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt3}\right)$ , at which points we get a value of either of $\pm\dfrac5{\sqrt3}$ , with the maximum being the positive value and the minimum being the negative one.
