Simplify the ratio 40cm:2m

2 answers:

4 0

First, convert 2m into cm by multiplying by 100 so the ratio is now 40:200, then 40 goes into 200 5 times so the ratio is 1:5. Hope that helped!

Answer:

1:5

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the ratio of 40cm:2m, first we must make all the units consistent.

Converting 2m to centimeters (cm) using the conversion

100cm = 1m

then xcm = 2m

Cross multiplying we have;

100×2 = x× 1

x = 200cm

The ratio becomes 40cm:200cm

Note that ratio of two numbers also means taking their quotient, therefore;

40cm:200cm = 40cm/200cm

= 4/20

= 1/5

The simplified form of the ratio is 1:5

Find the minimum and maximum of f(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2 subject to two constraints, x+2y+z=4 and x-y=8.

Alika [10]

The Lagrangian for this function and the given constraints is

$L(x,y,z,\lambda_1,\lambda_2)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda_1(x+2y+z-4)+\lambda_2(x-y-8)$

which has partial derivatives (set equal to 0) satisfying

$\begin{cases}L_x=2x+\lambda_1+\lambda_2=0\\L_y=2y+2\lambda_1-\lambda_2=0\\L_z=2z+\lambda_1=0\\L_{\lambda_1}=x+2y+z-4=0\\L_{\lambda_2}=x-y-8=0\end{cases}$

This is a fairly standard linear system. Solving yields Lagrange multipliers of $\lambda_1=-\dfrac{32}{11}$ and $\lambda_2=-\dfrac{104}{11}$ , and at the same time we find only one critical point at $(x,y,z)=\left(\dfrac{68}{11},-\dfrac{20}{11},\dfrac{16}{11}\right)$ .

Check the Hessian for $f(x,y,z)$ , given by

$\mathbf H(x,y,z)=\begin{bmatrix}f_{xx}&f_{xy}&f_{xz}\\f_{yx}&f_{yy}&f_{yz}\\f_{zx}&f_{zy}&f_{zz}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}2&0&0\\0&2&0\\0&0&2\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathbf H$ is positive definite, since $\mathbf v^\top\mathbf{Hv}>0$ for any vector $\mathbf v=\begin{bmatrix}x&y&z\end{bmatrix}^\top$ , which means $f(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2$ attains a minimum value of $\dfrac{480}{11}$ at $\left(\dfrac{68}{11},-\dfrac{20}{11},\dfrac{16}{11}\right)$ . There is no maximum over the given constraints.
