well, the triangle is an isosceles, so it twin sides, and the twin sides make twin angles, as we see by the tickmarks on A and C, meaning AB = BC.

$\bf x+4=3x-8\implies 4=2x-8\implies 12=2x\implies \cfrac{12}{2}=x\implies 6=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ AC\implies x+4\implies 6+4\implies 10$

Answer : The length of AC is, 6

Step-by-step explanation :

As we know that when the two angles in a triangle are equal then the there adjacent sides are also equal.

That means,

∠A = ∠C

So,

Side AB = Side BC

x + 4 = 3x -8

3x - x = 8 + 4

2x = 12

x = 6

The values of 'x' is 6

So, the length of AC = x = 6

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of f(x, y) = x+y+ p 1 − x 2 − y 2 on the quarter disc {(x, y) | x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, x2 +

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

absolute max: f(x,y)=1/2+p1 ; at P(1/2,1/2)

absolute min: f(x,y)=p1 ; at U(0,0), V(1,0) and W(0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the absolute max and min, we need to analyse the region inside the quarter disc and the region at the limit of the disc:

Region inside the quarter disc:

There could be Minimums and Maximums, if:

∇f(x,y)=(0,0) (gradient)

we develop:

(1-2x, 1-2y)=(0,0)

x=1/2

y=1/2

Critic point P(1/2,1/2) is inside the quarter disc.

f(P)=1/2+1/2+p1-1/4-1/4=1/2+p1

f(0,0)=p1

We see that:

f(P)>f(0,0), then P(1/2,1/2) is a maximum relative

Region at the limit of the disc:

We use the Method of Lagrange Multipliers, when we need to find a max o min from a f(x,y) subject to a constraint g(x,y); g(x,y)=K (constant). In our case the constraint are the curves of the quarter disc:

g1(x, y)=x^2+y^2=1

g2(x, y)=x=0

g3(x, y)=y=0

We can obtain the critical points (maximums and minimums) subject to the constraint by solving the system of equations:

∇f(x,y)=λ∇g(x,y) ; (gradient)

g(x,y)=K

Analyse in g2:

x=0;

1-2y=0;

y=1/2

Q(0,1/2) critical point

f(Q)=1/4+p1

We do the same reflexion as for P. Q is a maximum relative

Analyse in g3:

y=0;

1-2x=0;

x=1/2

R(1/2,0) critical point

f(R)=1/4+p1

We do the same reflexion as for P. R is a maximum relative

Analyse in g1:

(1-2x, 1-2y)=λ(2x,2y)

x^2+y^2=1

Developing:

x=1/(2λ+2)

y=1/(2λ+2)

x^2+y^2=1

So:

(1/(2λ+2))^2+(1/(2λ+2))^2=1

$\lambda_{1}=\sqrt{1/2}*-1 =-0.29$

$\lambda_{2}=-\sqrt{1/2}*-1 =-1.71$

$\lambda_{2}$ give us (x,y) values negatives, outside the region, so we do not take it in account

For $\lambda_{1}$ : S(x,y)=(0.70, 070)

and

f(S)=0.70+0.70+p1-0.70^2-0.70^2=0.42+p1

We do the same reflexion as for P. S is a maximum relative

Points limits between g1, g2 y g3

we need also to analyse the points limits between g1, g2 y g3, that means U(0,0), V(1,0), W(0,1)

f(U)=p1

f(V)=p1

f(W)=p1

We can see that this 3 points are minimums relatives.

Conclusion:

We compare all the critical points P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W an their respective values f(x,y). We find that:

absolute max: f(x,y)=1/2+p1 ; at P(1/2,1/2)

absolute min: f(x,y)=p1 ; at U(0,0), V(1,0) and W(0,1)

Evaluate the function.

Natali5045456 [20]

As you may already be familiar, these functions f(x) and g(x) are piecewise. They consist of multiple functions with different domains.

1. For #1, the given input is f(0). Since 0≤1, you should use the first equation to solve. f(0)=3(0)-1 ➞ f(0)=-1
2. Continue to evaluate the given input for the domains given. 1≤1, therefore f(1)=3(1)-1➞f(1)=2
3. 5>1, therefore f(5)=1-2(5)➞f(5)=-9
4. -4≤1; f(-4)=3(-4)-1➞f(-4)=-13
5. -3<0<1; g(0)=2
6. -3≤-3; g(-3)=3(-3)-1➞g(-3)=-10
7. 1≥1; g(1)=-3(1)➞g(1)=-3
8. 3≥1; g(3)=-3(3)➞g(3)=-9
9. -5≤-3; g(-5)=3(-5)-1➞g(-5)=-16

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Solve 9x^2 + 42x + 49 = 0

svet-max [94.6K]

Because of the relatively large coefficients {9, 42, 49}, applying the quadratic formula would be a bit messy. Instead, I've chosen to "complete the square:"

9x^2 + 42x + 49 = 0 can be re-written as 9 [ x^2 + (42/9)x ] = -49

Dividing both sides by 9, we get [ x^2 + (42/9)x ] = - 49/9

Completing the square: [ x^2 + (42/9)x + (21/9)^2 - (21/9)^2 ] = -49/9

[ x + 21/9 ]^2 = 441/81 - 441/81 = 0

Then [ x + 21/9 ] = 0, and x = -21/9 (this is a double root).
