1Ellen says that 1 2/5 equals 5 ÷7 Is she<br>correct? Explain.

Anastasy [175]

No she is not because 1 2/5 is a bigger number than 5/7.

1 2/5 in decimal form is 1.4, and 5/7 in decimal form is .714.

This extreme value problem has a solution with both a maximum value and a minimum value. use lagrange multipliers to find the ex

noname [10]

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=10x+10y+2z+\lambda(5x^2+5y^2+2z^2-42)$

$L_x=10+10\lambda x=0\implies1+\lambda x=0$

$L_y=10+10\lambda y=0\implies1+\lambda y=0$

$L_z=2+4\lambda z=0\implies1+2\lambda z=0$

$L_\lambda=5x^2+5y^2+2z^2-42=0$

$\begin{cases}L_x=0\\L_y=0\\L_z=0\end{cases}\implies1+\lambda x=1+\lambda y=1+2\lambda z=0\implies x=y=2z$

$5x^2+5y^2+2z^2=5(2z)^2+5(2z)^2+2z^2=42z^2=42\implies z^2=1$

$z^2=1\implies z=\pm1\implies x=y=\pm2$

There are two critical points, at which we have

$f\left(2,2,1\right)=42\text{ (a maximum value)}$

$f\left(-2,-2,-1\right)=-42\text{ (a minimum value)}$

What is the value of x?

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The horizontal value in a pair of coordinates: how far along the point is. The X Coordinate is always written first in an ordered pair of coordinates (x,y), such as (12,5). In this example, the value "12" is the X Coordinate. Also called "Abscissa"
