Ratio of white flowers to pink flowers
Ordered pair (8,12)
Number of pink and white flowers in one row of molly's garden
<h3>Given</h3>
Two positive numbers x and y such that xy = 192
<h3>Find</h3>
The values that minimize x + 3y
<h3>Solution</h3>
y = 192/x . . . . . solve for y
f(x) = x + 3y
f(x) = x + 3(192/x) . . . . . the function we want to minimize
We can find the x that minimizes of f(x) by setting the derivative of f(x) to zero.
... f'(x) = 1 - 576/x² = 0
... 576 = x² . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by x², add 576
... √576 = x = 24 . . . . . . . take the square root
... y = 192/24 = 8 . . . . . . . find the value of y using the above equation for y
The first number is 24.
The second number is 8.
Do you have a picture of the question??
Answer:
<h2>y = 1</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of an equation of a line:
<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>
<em>(x₁, y₁)</em><em> - point on a line</em>
We have <em>m = 0, (3, 1) → x₁ = 3, y₁ = 1</em>.
Substitute:
<em>add 1 to both sides</em>
Other method.
If the slope is equal 0, then it's a horizontal line.
The equation of a horizontal line: <em>y = a</em>.
We have the point on a line (3, 1) → x = 3, y = 1.
Therefore the equation is <em>y = 1</em>.
