The points you found are the vertices of the feasible region. I agree with the first three points you got. However, the last point should be (25/11, 35/11). This point is at the of the intersection of the two lines 8x-y = 15 and 3x+y = 10
So the four vertex points are:
(1,9)
(1,7)
(3,9)
(25/11, 35/11)
Plug each of those points, one at a time, into the objective function z = 7x+2y. The goal is to find the largest value of z
------------------
Plug in (x,y) = (1,9)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(1)+2(9)
z = 7+18
z = 25
We'll use this value later.
So let's call it A. Let A = 25
Plug in (x,y) = (1,7)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(1)+2(7)
z = 7+14
z = 21
Call this value B = 21 so we can refer to it later
Plug in (x,y) = (3,9)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(3)+2(9)
z = 21+18
z = 39
Let C = 39 so we can use it later
Finally, plug in (x,y) = (25/11, 35/11)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(25/11)+2(35/11)
z = 175/11 + 70/11
z = 245/11
z = 22.2727 which is approximate
Let D = 22.2727
------------------
In summary, we found
A = 25
B = 21
C = 39
D = 22.2727
The value C = 39 is the largest of the four results. This value corresponded to (x,y) = (3,9)
Therefore the max value of z is z = 39 and it happens when (x,y) = (3,9)
------------------
Final Answer: 39
Answer: a) P = 0.5, b) P = 0.07
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi!
Lets call X₁ the time at which you arrive, and X₂ the time at which Bob arrives. Both are random variables with uniform density in the interval [0, 60] (in minutes). Their joint distribuition is uniform over the square in the image, with value P = 1/(60*60) = 1/3600.
a) For you to get more cake than Bob, you should arrive earlier. This event is A = { X₁ < X₂ }, the shaded triangle in the figure.The area of this event (set) is half the total area of the square, so P(A) = 0.5.
It makes sense, beacuse its equally probable for you or Bob to arrive earlier, as both have uniform density over the time interval.
b) In this case you arrive later than Bob, but less than 5 minutes later. So the event is B = { X₂ < X₁ < (X₂ + 5) } . This is the gray shaded area in b) part of the image. Its area is the difference two triangles (half square - blue triangle), then the probability is:

Answer: C) -1/2</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
We'll apply the derivative to get
g(x) = 4x^3 + 3x^2
g ' (x) = 3*4x^2 + 2*3x
g ' (x) = 12x^2 + 6x
Set that equal to 0 and solve for x. We do this to find where the horizontal tangents are located.
g ' (x) = 0
12x^2 + 6x = 0
6x(2x + 1) = 0
6x = 0 or 2x+1 = 0
x = 0 or x = -1/2
Adding those two said solutions yields us the final answer choice C
