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}}.

The location of the y value of R' after using the translation rule is -10

<h3>What will be the location of the y value of R' after using the translation rule? </h3>

The translation rule is given as:

(x + 4, y - 7)

The pre-image of R is located at (-17, -3)

Rewrite as

R = (-17, -3)

When the translation rule is applied, we have:

R' = (-17 + 4, -3 - 7)

Evaluate

R' = (-13, -10)

Remove the x coordinate

R'y = -10

Hence, the location of the y value of R' after using the translation rule is -10

A right triangle has a hypotenuse length of 12, and one side length of 9. find the missing side length. do the side lengths form
Rina8888 [55]

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

c - a hypotenuse

a, b - legs

We have: a = 9 and c = 12. Substitute:

9^2+b^2=12^2

81+b^2=144               <em>subtract 81 from both sides</em>

b^2=63\to b=\sqrt{63}\\\\b=\sqrt{9\cdot7}\\\\b=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt7\\\\ \boxed{b=3\sqrt{7}}

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b and c, such that

a^2+b^2=c^2.

b=3\sqrt{7} is not positive integer.

<h3>The sides of the triangle do not form a pythagorean triple.</h3>

Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between a line and a point in a plane? exactly one plane conta
Alexandra [31]

Answer: (b) exactly one plane contains a given line and a point not on the line.


Step-by-step explanation: The basic postulates of geometry are very-well known to all of us. For example-

(i) The intersection of two lines determines a point,

(ii) Two parallel lines give result to a plane,

(iii) A line and a point not on the line determines a plane, etc...

Thus, with the help of the third point, we can easily arrive at the conclusion that a given line and a point not lying on the line is contained in a plane. For example- see the attached figure, AB is a line and P is any point not on the line. They both contained in the plane ABC.

Hence, the correct option is (b).
