7/8 = /48 A. 1 B. 6 C. 42 D. 13

1 answer:

6 0

7/8 = x/48

Cross multiply, which is: a/b = c/d ⇒ ad = bc

After cross multiplying, we get:

8x = 7(48)

8x = 336

Divide 8 on both sides

x = 42

Your final answer is B. 42.

Use lagrange multipliers to find the shortest distance, d, from the point (4, 0, −5 to the plane x y z = 1

Varvara68 [4.7K]

I assume there are some plus signs that aren't rendering for some reason, so that the plane should be $x+y+z=1$ .

You're minimizing $d(x,y,z)=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+y^2+(z+5)^2}$ subject to the constraint $f(x,y,z)=x+y+z=1$ . Note that $d(x,y,z)$ and $d(x,y,z)^2$ attain their extrema at the same values of $x,y,z$ , so we'll be working with the squared distance to avoid working out some slightly more complicated partial derivatives later.

The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=(x-4)^2+y^2+(z+5)^2+\lambda(x+y+z-1)$

Take your partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:

$\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial x}=2(x-4)+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=2y+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial z}=2(z+5)+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial\lambda}=x+y+z-1=0\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}2x+\lambda=8\\2y+\lambda=0\\2z+\lambda=-10\\x+y+z=1\end{cases}$

Adding the first three equations together yields

$2x+2y+2z+3\lambda=2(x+y+z)+3\lambda=2+3\lambda=-2\implies \lambda=-\dfrac43$

and plugging this into the first three equations, you find a critical point at $(x,y,z)=\left(\dfrac{14}3,\dfrac23,-\dfrac{13}3\right)$ .

The squared distance is then $d\left(\dfrac{14}3,\dfrac23,-\dfrac{13}3\right)^2=\dfrac43$ , which means the shortest distance must be $\sqrt{\dfrac43}=\dfrac2{\sqrt3}$ .

PLEASE HELP!

Mariana [72]

-----------------------------------------------
Information Given:
-----------------------------------------------
ON = 7x - 9
LM = 6x + 4
MN = x - 7
OL = 2y - 7

-----------------------------------------------
Since it is a parallelogram:
-----------------------------------------------
ON = LM and
MN = OL

-----------------------------------------------
ON = LM:
-----------------------------------------------
7x - 9 = 6x + 4

-----------------------------------------------
Subtract 6x from both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
x - 9 = 4

-----------------------------------------------
Add 9 to both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
x = 13

-----------------------------------------------
MN = OL:
-----------------------------------------------
x - 7 = 2y - 7

-----------------------------------------------
Sub x = 13:
-----------------------------------------------
13 - 7 = 2y - 7

-----------------------------------------------
Simplify:
-----------------------------------------------
6 = 2y - 7

-----------------------------------------------
Add 7 on both sides:
-----------------------------------------------
13 = 2y

-----------------------------------------------
Divide by 2:
-----------------------------------------------
y = 13/2

-----------------------------------------------
Answer: x = 13, y = 13/2 (Answer D)
