The measure of an angle is fourteen times the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Let the measure of the complementary angle be x so that the measure of the other angle is 14x. The total measure of the angles is 180 degrees. Thus, one angle measures 12 degrees. The other angle measures 14*12=168 degrees.

Answer:

6 degrees and 84 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So if 2 angles are complementary, it means when added together they equal 90 degrees. Let's call the smaller angle x, meaning the bigger angle, which is 14 times the size of the smaller angle would be 14x. Now let's make that into an equation.

90 = 14x + x

We have to add the x's together

90 = 15x

Now we have to isolate x, so we have to divide by 15 on both sides.

X = 6

So we know that the smaller angle is 6 degrees, meaning that if the bigger angle is 14 times the size, the bigger angle is 84 degrees.

The plane x + y + z = 12 intersects paraboloid z = x^2 + y^2 in an ellipse.(a) Find the highest and the lowest points on the ell

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Highest (-3,-3)

Lowest (2,2)

Farthest (-3,-3)

Closest (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we will be using Lagrange multipliers.

Let us find out first the restriction, which is the projection of the intersection on the XY-plane.

From x+y+z=12 we get z=12-x-y and replace this in the equation of the paraboloid:

$\bf 12-x-y=x^2+y^2\Rightarrow x^2+y^2+x+y=12$

completing the squares:

$\bf x^2+y^2+x+y=12\Rightarrow (x+1/2)^2-1/4+(y+1/2)^2-1/4=12\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow (x+1/2)^2+(y+1/2)^2=12+1/2\Rightarrow (x+1/2)^2+(y+1/2)^2=25/2$

and we want the maximum and minimum of the paraboloid when (x,y) varies on the circumference we just found. That is, we want the maximum and minimum of

$\bf f(x,y)=x^2+y^2$

subject to the constraint

$\bf g(x,y)=(x+1/2)^2+(y+1/2)^2-25/2=0$

Now we have

$\bf \nabla f=(\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial x},\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial y})=(2x,2y)\\\\\nabla g=(\displaystyle\frac{\partial g}{\partial x},\displaystyle\frac{\partial g}{\partial y})=(2x+1,2y+1)$

Let $\bf \lambda$ be the Lagrange multiplier.

The maximum and minimum must occur at points where

$\bf \nabla f=\lambda\nabla g$

that is,

$\bf (2x,2y)=\lambda(2x+1,2y+1)\Rightarrow 2x=\lambda (2x+1)\;,2y=\lambda (2y+1)$

we can assume (x,y)≠ (-1/2, -1/2) since that point is not in the restriction, so

$\bf \lambda=\displaystyle\frac{2x}{(2x+1)} \;,\lambda=\displaystyle\frac{2y}{(2y+1)}\Rightarrow \displaystyle\frac{2x}{(2x+1)}=\displaystyle\frac{2y}{(2y+1)}\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow 2x(2y+1)=2y(2x+1)\Rightarrow 4xy+2x=4xy+2y\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow x=y$

Replacing in the constraint

$\bf (x+1/2)^2+(x+1/2)^2-25/2=0\Rightarrow (x+1/2)^2=25/4\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow |x+1/2|=5/2$

from this we get

and the candidates for maximum and minimum are (2,2) and (-3,-3).

Replacing these values in f, we see that

f(-3,-3) = 9+9 = 18 is the maximum and

f(2,2) = 4+4 = 8 is the minimum

Since the square of the distance from any given point (x,y) on the paraboloid to (0,0) is f(x,y) itself, the maximum and minimum of the distance are reached at the points we just found.

We have then,

(-3,-3) is the farthest from the origin

(2,2) is the closest to the origin.
