Lagrangian:

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x^2+(y-2)^2+(z-5)^2+\lambda(x-2y+3z-6)

where the function we want to minimize is actually \sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2+(z-5)^2}, but it's easy to see that \sqrt{f(\mathbf x)} and f(\mathbf x) have critical points at the same vector \mathbf x.

Derivatives of the Lagrangian set equal to zero:

L_x=2x+\lambda=0\implies x=-\dfrac\lambda2
L_y=2(y-2)-2\lambda=0\implies y=2+\lambda
L_z=2(z-5)+3\lambda=0\implies z=5-\dfrac{3\lambda}2
L_\lambda=x-2y+3z-6=0

Substituting the first three equations into the fourth gives

-\dfrac\lambda2-2(2+\lambda)+3\left(5-\dfrac{3\lambda}2\right)=6
11-7\lambda=6\implies \lambda=\dfrac57

Solving for x,y,z, we get a single critical point at \left(-\dfrac5{14},\dfrac{19}7,\dfrac{55}{14}\right), which in turn gives the least distance between the plane and (0, 2, 5) of \dfrac5{\sqrt{14}}.

I NEED A QUICK ANSWER I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST!!! If I drive 20 minutes a day for 185 days how many hours would that be?
slavikrds [6]
I think its about 62 hours because you multiply the 185 days by 20 minutes and get 3,700 so you divide that by 60 and get 61.6666667. so the answer is 62 hours?

Here you would want to use the sine function, since it’s making a triangle with the ground, and length of the string, the height to the kite. This can be found by 65sin(70°) which is ≈ 61.08 meters

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

4x-2y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Line R is represented by the following equation:

x+y=2

We need to choose another system of equation of x+y=2

whose solution is (1,1)

The equation must be satisfy the point (1,1)

Option 1: 2x+y = 2

Put x=1 and y=1

2(1)+1 = 3

3 ≠ 2

False

Option 2: 4x-2y=2

Put x=1 and y=1

4(1) - 2(1) = 2

2 = 2

True

Option 3: 2x-2y=2

Put x=1 and y=1

2(1) - 2(1) = 0

0 ≠ 2

False

Option 4: x+y=4

Put x=1 and y=1

1+1 = 2

2 ≠ 4

False

Hence, The system of equation is 4x-2y=2
