Answer:

25,26,27, and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Write consecutive integers as x,x+1,x+2,x+3,x+4, and so forth.

x+x+1+x+2+x+3

---------------------- = 53

1) Combine alike terms:

4x+6

------- = 53

2) Multiply both sides by 2:

4x+6=106

3) Subtract 6 from both sides:

4x=100

4) Divide both sides by 4:

x=25

5) Plug in 25 for x for all 4 integers:

The Lagrangian,

$L(x,y,z,\lambda,\mu)=x+2y+9z-\lambda(x-y+z-1)-\mu(x^2+y^2-1)$

has critical points where its partial derivatives vanish:

$L_x=1-\lambda-2\mu x=0$

$L_y=2+\lambda-2\mu y=0$

$L_z=9-\lambda=0$

$L_\lambda=x-y+z-1=0$

$L_\mu=x^2+y^2-1=0$

$L_z=0$ tells us $\lambda=9$ , so that

$L_x=0\implies-8-2\mu x=0\implies x=-\dfrac4\mu$

$L_y=0\implies11-2\mu y=0\implies y=\dfrac{11}{2\mu}$

Then with $L_\mu=0$ , we get

$x^2+y^2=\dfrac{16}{\mu^2}+\dfrac{121}{4\mu^2}=1\implies\mu=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{185}}2$

and $L_\lambda=0$ tells us

$x-y+z=-\dfrac4\mu-\dfrac{11}{2\mu}+z=1\implies z=1+\dfrac{19}{2\mu}$

Then there are two critical points, $\left(\pm\frac8{\sqrt{185}},\mp\frac{11}{\sqrt{185}},1\pm\frac{19}{\sqrt{185}}\right)$ . The critical point with the negative $x$ -coordinates gives the maximum value, $9+\sqrt{185}$ .

So you already know the difference between the new number and original number, so all you have to do now is plug it in to this: Percentage Change=Difference/Original Number x100. So 17.99/257=.07x100 which equals 7%. So B is the correct answer.
