Find a positive number for which the sum of it and its reciprocal is the smallest (least) possible. Let x be the number and let

Allisa [31]

Answer:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$ --- Objective function

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the number with x

The required sum can be represented as:

$x + \frac{1}{x}$

Hence, the objective function is:

$S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

To get the the interval, we start by differentiating w.r.t x

<em>Using first principle, this gives:</em>

$S'(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Equate S'(x) to 0 in order to solve for x

$0 = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Subtract 1 from both sides

$0 -1 = 1 -1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$

$-1 = - \frac{1}{x^2}$

Multiply both sides by -1

$1 = \frac{1}{x^2}$

Cross Multiply

$x^2 * 1 = 1$

$x^2 = 1$

Take positive square root of both sides because x is positive

$\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{1$

$x = 1$

Representing x using interval notation, we have

Interval = $\{x:x=1\}$

To get the smallest sum, we substitute 1 for x in $S(x) = x + \frac{1}{x}$

$S(1) = 1 + \frac{1}{1}$

$S(1) = 1 + 1$

$S(1) = 2$

<em>Hence, the smallest sum is 2</em>

Find m/KMN. L 60° K 1⁰40 6x (11x+15)° N

miskamm [114]

Answer:

114°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle is the sum of the remote interior angles.

__

<h3>setup</h3>

(11x +15)° = 60° +6x°

<h3>solution</h3>

5x = 45 . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 15+6x

x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The measure of exterior angle KMN is ...

m∠KMN = (11(9) +15)° = 114°

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Both the sum of interior angles and the sum of angles of a linear pair are 180°. If M represents the interior angle at vertex M, then we have ...

60° +6x° +M = 180°

(11x +15)° +M = 180°

Equating these expressions for 180° and subtracting M gives the relation we used above:

(11x +15)° +M = 60° +6x° +M . . . . . equate the two expressions for 180°

(11x +15)° = 60° +6x° . . . . . . . . . . . subtract M

This is also described by "supplements to the same angle are equal."

Stels [109]

Answer:

The appropriate response is "0.9476".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Standard deviation,

$\sigma=1150$

Randomly selected railroad-car shipments,

n = 500

As we know,

⇒ $\sigma \bar{x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{1150}{\sqrt{500} }$

then,

⇒ $=P(-1.94$

⇒ $=P(Z$

On using the table of P, we get

⇒ $=0.9738 - 0.0262$

⇒ $=0.9476$
