Answer:

x = 5/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x = 5/2 - sqrt(17)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 5 x + 2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x^2 - 5 x = -2

Add 25/4 to both sides:

x^2 - 5 x + 25/4 = 17/4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 5/2)^2 = 17/4

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 5/2 = sqrt(17)/2 or x - 5/2 = -sqrt(17)/2

Add 5/2 to both sides:

x = 5/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x - 5/2 = -sqrt(17)/2

Add 5/2 to both sides:

Answer: x = 5/2 + sqrt(17)/2 or x = 5/2 - sqrt(17)/2

EXAMPLE 5 Find the maximum value of the function f(x, y, z) = x + 2y + 9z on the curve of intersection of the plane x − y + z =

geniusboy [140]

The Lagrangian,

$L(x,y,z,\lambda,\mu)=x+2y+9z-\lambda(x-y+z-1)-\mu(x^2+y^2-1)$

has critical points where its partial derivatives vanish:

$L_x=1-\lambda-2\mu x=0$

$L_y=2+\lambda-2\mu y=0$

$L_z=9-\lambda=0$

$L_\lambda=x-y+z-1=0$

$L_\mu=x^2+y^2-1=0$

$L_z=0$ tells us $\lambda=9$ , so that

$L_x=0\implies-8-2\mu x=0\implies x=-\dfrac4\mu$

$L_y=0\implies11-2\mu y=0\implies y=\dfrac{11}{2\mu}$

Then with $L_\mu=0$ , we get

$x^2+y^2=\dfrac{16}{\mu^2}+\dfrac{121}{4\mu^2}=1\implies\mu=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{185}}2$

and $L_\lambda=0$ tells us

$x-y+z=-\dfrac4\mu-\dfrac{11}{2\mu}+z=1\implies z=1+\dfrac{19}{2\mu}$

Then there are two critical points, $\left(\pm\frac8{\sqrt{185}},\mp\frac{11}{\sqrt{185}},1\pm\frac{19}{\sqrt{185}}\right)$ . The critical point with the negative $x$ -coordinates gives the maximum value, $9+\sqrt{185}$ .
