Answer:
The objective function in terms of one number, x is
S(x) = 4x + (12/x)
The values of x and y that minimum the sum are √3 and 4√3 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two positive numbers, x and y
x × y = 12
xy = 12
S(x,y) = 4x + y
We plan to minimize the sum subject to the constraint (xy = 12)
We can make y the subject of formula in the constraint equation
y = (12/x)
Substituting into the objective function,
S(x,y) = 4x + y
S(x) = 4x + (12/x)
We can then find the minimum.
At minimum point, (dS/dx) = 0 and (d²S/dx²) > 0
(dS/dx) = 4 - (12/x²) = 0
4 - (12/x²) = 0
(12/x²) = 4
4x² = 12
x = √3
y = 12/√3 = 4√3
To just check if this point is truly a minimum
(d²S/dx²) = (24/x³) = (8/√3) > 0 (minimum point)
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe that the answer is 8
Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.
$1235-$800=$435 thus the I which is the simple interest
:I=PRT all over 100
435=800(R) (5)all over 100
43500=4000R
:R=10.88%
Number of pounds of cashews is 36 pounds and number of pounds of walnuts is 4 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given details are cost of cashews = $1.58, cost of walnuts = 78 cents = $0.78, total weight of nuts = 40 pounds, cost of nuts per pound = $1.50
- Step 2: Let number of pounds of cashews to be mixed be C, then number of pounds of walnuts will 40 - C. Form equation with these variables.
⇒ 1.58 C + (40-C) 0.78 = 40 × 1.50
⇒ 1.58 C + 31.2 - 0.78 C = 60
⇒ 1.58 C - 0.78 C = 60 - 31.2
⇒ 0.8 C = 28.8
⇒ C = 36 pounds
- Step 3: Calculate number of pounds of walnuts
⇒ Number of pounds of walnuts = 40 - C = 4 pounds
