10 less than 5 times a number is less than 6 times the number decreased by eight

Mathematics

1 answer:

-BARSIC- [3]4 years ago

8 0

Answer:

The Answer is: the Number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number.

Five times the number minus 10 is less than 6 times the number minus eight:

5n - 10 = 6n - 8

-1n = -8 + 10

-n = 2

n = -2, the value of the number is -2.

Proof:

5(-2) - 10 = 6(-2) - 8

-10 - 10 = -12 - 8

-20 = -20

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

Answer:

$y=\frac{-5}{3}x+200\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{-5}{3}$

y-int = 200

$y=\frac{-5}{3}x+200\\$

Find the dimensions of the closed rectangular box with maximum volume that can be inscribed in the unit sphere.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rectangle have (x,y,z) as vertex in positive octant. The rectangular box has to be necessarily symmetrical about all the three axes.

Then the sides of the box would be

$2x,2y,2z$

Volume = $8xyz$

Maximize volume subject to

$x^2+y^2+z^2 =1$

i.e. $g(x,y,z) = x^2+y^2+z^2 -1=0$

Use Lagrangian multipliers , we have

$∇f(x,y,z)=λ∇g(x,y,z)$ at the maximum

$∇f(x,y,z)=λ∇g(x,y,z) =(8yz,8xz,8xy)\\∇g(x,y,z)=(2x,2y,2z)$

$8yz=2λx8xz=2λy8xy=2λz$

Dividing we get

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

Similarly $y^2=z^2$

Thus we get $3x^2 =1\\x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$

Hence dimensions are

(2x,2y,2z)

So dimensions are

$\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} } ,\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} } ,\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} } )$
