4x^2-5x=-1

\sqrt{4x^2-5x} = \sqrt{-1}4x^2-5x+1=0

4x+2.24x=1

6.24x=1

x= 0.16025641025641025641025641025641

Use lagrange multipliers to find the shortest distance, d, from the point (4, 0, −5 to the plane x y z = 1
Varvara68 [4.7K]
I assume there are some plus signs that aren't rendering for some reason, so that the plane should be x+y+z=1.

You're minimizing d(x,y,z)=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+y^2+(z+5)^2} subject to the constraint f(x,y,z)=x+y+z=1. Note that d(x,y,z) and d(x,y,z)^2 attain their extrema at the same values of x,y,z, so we'll be working with the squared distance to avoid working out some slightly more complicated partial derivatives later.

The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=(x-4)^2+y^2+(z+5)^2+\lambda(x+y+z-1)

Take your partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:

\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial x}=2(x-4)+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=2y+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial z}=2(z+5)+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial\lambda}=x+y+z-1=0\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}2x+\lambda=8\\2y+\lambda=0\\2z+\lambda=-10\\x+y+z=1\end{cases}

Adding the first three equations together yields

2x+2y+2z+3\lambda=2(x+y+z)+3\lambda=2+3\lambda=-2\implies \lambda=-\dfrac43

and plugging this into the first three equations, you find a critical point at (x,y,z)=\left(\dfrac{14}3,\dfrac23,-\dfrac{13}3\right).

The squared distance is then d\left(\dfrac{14}3,\dfrac23,-\dfrac{13}3\right)^2=\dfrac43, which means the shortest distance must be \sqrt{\dfrac43}=\dfrac2{\sqrt3}.

Alyssa took a math test with 20 questions and she answered 16 questions correctly. In order get an A, she needs to answer at lea
ElenaW [278]
A. Alyssa did not get an A on the math test but rather a B- due to only getting 16 out of the 20 problems right. This can be found out by dividing the amount correct over the total amount of problems.

B. In order for Alyssa to get an A or 90% on her math test she would have had to get two more questions right to have a score of 18 out of 20.

C. In order to figure this question out you have to think that with every incorrect answer that Jessie answered she got three correct along with the one incorrect. By going with that information it can be figured that Jessie's score is 15 correct answers and 5 incorrect information if you go by the ratio 3:1 then go up tell the sides equal up to a total of 20 after being added. So Jessie's score again was 15 out of 20.

Can someone please help on number 20? WILL MARK YOU AS BRAINIEST. (can you also show how you do the problem?) :(
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

x =(22-√196)/6=(11-7)/3= 1.333

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x2 -  22x) +  24  = 0

The first term is,  3x2  its coefficient is  3 .

The middle term is,  -22x  its coefficient is  -22 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +24

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   3 • 24 = 72

Step-2 : Find two factors of  72  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -22 .

     -72    +    -1    =    -73

     -36    +    -2    =    -38

     -24    +    -3    =    -27

     -18    +    -4    =    -22    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -18  and  -4

                    3x2 - 18x - 4x - 24

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   3x • (x-6)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   4 • (x-6)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (3x-4)  •  (x-6)

            Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step 2:

 (x - 6) • (3x - 4)  = 0

STEP 3:

Theory - Roots of a product

3.1    A product of several terms equals zero.

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Please help with 11c!?
Contact [7]

Answer:

"To the nearest year, it would be about 9 years"

Step-by-step explanation:

11c)

This is compound growth problem. It goes by the formula:

F=P(1+r)^t

Where

F is the future amount

P is the present (initial) amount

r is the rate of growth, in decimal

t is the time in years

Given,

P = 20,000

r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08

F = double of initial amount = 2 * 20,000 = 40,000

We need to find t:

F=P(1+r)^t\\40,000=20,000(1+0.08)^t\\2=(1.08)^t

To solve exponentials, we can take Natural Log (Ln) of both sides:

2=(1.08)^t\\Ln(2)=Ln((1.08)^t)

Using the rule shown below we can simplify and solve:

Ln(a^b)=bLn(a)

We can write:

Ln(2)=Ln((1.08)^t)\\Ln(2)=tLn(1.08)\\t=\frac{Ln(2)}{Ln(1.08)}\\t=9.0064

To the nearest year, that would be about 9 years
