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.

Factor completely <br> 4x^2 + 24x - 64
lara31 [8.8K]
First see you can factor out 4. What is left is x^2 + 6x - 16.
That can be factored as (x+8)(x-2) so the total factorization is

4(x+8)(x-2)

I think it would be A, because if she jogged the same amount each day she jogged then all you need to do is multiply how much she jogged by how many days she jogged.

Solve for y , what is 9x+3y=4 ??
lora16 [44]
To solve for y, isolate the variable to one side.
 9x+3y=4
-9x      -9x
~~~~~~~~
3y= -9x+4
~~~~~~~~
3y= -9x+4 (Divide both sides by 3)

y=-3x+4
