Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that three positive numbers have sum 18.

Let the numbers be x,y, 18-x-y

Then product

f(x,y) =xy(18-x-y) = 18xy-x^2y-xy^2

To find maxima, let us use partial derivaties

f_x = 18y-2xy-y^2\\f_y =18x-x^2-2xy\\f_xx= -2x\\f_yy=-2y\\f_xy = 18-2x = f_yx

Equate I derivatives to 0

Solving the two linear equations we get solution as

(6,6)

Hence maximum when x =y=z=6

i.e. when all numbers are equal to 6.

A one-celled organism measures 32 mm in length in a photograph. If the photo has been enlarged by a factor of 100, what is the a
larisa86 [58]

32 mm = length × 100

(32 mm)/100 = length . . . . . divide both sides by 100

0.32 mm = length

The actual length of the organism is 0.32 mm.
