Answer:

a) x = 25, y = 50

b) x = 1.5, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use Lagrange Multipliers to solve this problem. The maximum of a differentiable function f with the constraint g(x,y) = b, then we have that there exists a constant \lambda such that

\nabla f(x,y) = \lambda \, \nabla g(x,y)

Or, in other words,

f_x(x,y) = \lambda \, g_x(x,y) \\ f_y(x,y) = \lambda \, g_y(x,y)

a) Lets compute the partial derivates of f(x,y) = 2x+2xy+y. Recall that, for example, the partial derivate of f respect to the variable x is obtained from derivating f thinking the variable y as a constant.

f_x(x,y) = 2 + 2y

On the other hand,

f_y(x,y) = 2x+1

The restriction is g(x,y) = 100, with g(x,y) = 2x+y. The partial derivates of g are

g_x(x,y) = 2; g_y(x,y) = 1

This means that the Lagrange equations are

  • 2y + 2 = 2 \, \lambda    
  • 2x +1 = \lambda  
  • 2x + y = 100 (this is the restriction, in other words, g(x,y) = 100)

Note that 2y + 2, which is 2 \, \lambda is the double of 2x+1, which is \lambda. Therefore, we can forget \lambda for now and focus on x and y with this relation:

2y+2 = 2 (2x+1) = 4x+2

2y = 4x

y = 2x

If y is equal to 2x, then

g(x,y) = 2x+y = 2x+2x = 4x

Since g(x,y) = 100, we have that

4x = 100

x = 100/4 = 25

And, therefore y = 25*2 = 50

Therefore, x = 25, Y = 50.

b) We will use the suggestion and find the minumum of f(x,y) = B² = x²+y², under the constraing g(x,y) = 0, with g(x,y) = 2x+4y-15. The suggestion is based on the fact that B is positive fon any x and y; and if 2 numbers a, b are positive, and a < b, then a² < b². In other words, if (x,y) is the minimum of B, then (x,y) is also the minimum of B² = f.

Lets apply Lagrange multipliers again. First, we need to compute the partial derivates of f:

f_x(x,y) = 2x \\f_y(x,y) = 2y

And now, the partial derivates of g:

g_x(x,y) = 2 \\ g_y(x,y) = 4

This gives us the following equations:

2x = 2 \, \lambda \\ 2y = 4 \, \lambda \\ 2x+4y-15 = 0

If we compare 2x with 2y, we will find that 2y is the double of 2x, because 2y is equal to 4 \, \lambda , while on the other hand, 2x = 2 \, \lambda . As a consequence, we have

2y = 2*2x

y = 2x

Now, we replace y with 2x in the equation of g:

0 = g(x,y) = 2x+4y-15 = 2x+4*2x -1x = 10x-15

10 x = 15

x = 15/10 = 1.5

y = 1x5*2 = 3

Then, B is minimized for x 0 1.5, y = 3.

<h3>Answer: Choice B) 8.57</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

The triangles are similar through the AA (angle angle) similarity rule. Note how the angle markers correspond and match up. Example: angle C and angle F both have triple angle markers to indicate these angles are congruent.

The corresponding sides pair up to form equal fractions. AB and DE form AB/DE which is equal to AC/DF, as these two sides correspond as well.

Therefore: AB/DE = AC/DF

Let's plug in the given values and isolate x

AB/DE = AC/DF

11/7 = (15+x)/15 ...... substitution

11*15 = 7*(15+x) ....... cross multiply

11*15 = 7*15+7*x ...... distribute

165 = 105+7x

165-105 = 105+7x-105 ..... subtract 105 from both sides

60 = 7x

7x = 60

7x/7 = 60/7 ............ divide both sides by 7

x = 8.57142857142858

x = 8.57 ..... rounding to the nearest hundredth

Devorah is filling a pool with a hose. The volume.H. In liters, of water coming out of the hose in .m.minutes is given by the fu
Alja [10]
<span>Given that Devorah is filling a pool with a hose. The volume.H. In liters, of water coming out of the hose in .m.minutes is given by the function H(m)=17.4m. However it is a sunny day, and water is also evaporating from the pool. Therefore,the volume ,V, in liters, of water in the pool m minutes after devorah started filling it is given by V(m)=17m.

  IfE be the volume of water, In Liters ,that has evaporated from the pool m minutes after devorah started filling it .

The formula for E(m) in terms of H(m) and V(m) is given by

E(m) = H(m) - V(m)

And

The formula for E(m) in terms of m is given by

E(m) = 17.4m - 17m = 0.4m</span>
