Answer: there were 4 people at a party. There was 1 cookie left on the table and all of them wanted it. They divided it between the four of them so they could all have a peice.

The graph shows the data points in the table and the exponential regression model associated with the data ?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

From the graph, it is obvious that the trend is decreasing from 100 on day 2, to 1 on day 10. So, the answer could either be A or C. The question would be how fast is it decreasing? To illustrate this, let's find the difference of consecutive data:

100 - 26 = 74
26 - 6 = 20
6 - 2=4
2-1=1

It must not be an additive rate because there is no common difference. Let's illustrate if the trend is in multiplicative rate:

100/26 = 3.85
26/6 = 4.33
6/2 = 3
2/1 = 2

More or less, they have a common divider. Hence, the decreasing rate is in multiplicative rate. The answer is A.

Organize from least to greatest

Answer:

y=31x/15 < y=27x/13 < y=15x/7 < y=13x/6 < y=11x/5 < y=21x/9 (=7x/3) < y=19x/8

Step-by-step explanation:

since all equations base on a linear, simple expression of x, we can simply compare the fractions.

in general, the bigger the number at the bottom, the smaller the individual fraction. that is our first indicator.

we then notice that many fractions represent the value of 2 plus one fraction.

31/15 = 2 1/15

27/13 = 2 1/13

15/7 = 2 1/7

13/6 = 2 1/6

11/5 = 2 1/5

the only exceptions are 21/9 and 19/8

but 21/9 is actually 7/3 = 2 1/3

and fits therefore into the list above.

that leaves 19/8 = 2 3/8.

the list above can be sorted based on the single fraction at the end (remember, the bigger the number at the bottom, the smaller the value). so, from least to greatest :

2 1/15 (31/15)

2 1/13 (27/13)

2 1/7 (15/7)

2 1/6 (13/6)

2 1/5 (11/5)

2 1/3 (7/3 = 21/9)

where did now 2 3/8 fit in ?

well, 3/8 is almost 1/2 (so, relatively big), and we start our comparison with the biggest number in the list so far :

1/3 (from 2 1/3).

what is bigger - 1/3 or 3/8 ?

let's find the smallest number that can be divided by 3 and by 8. that would be 24. so now we bring both fractions to the same base of 24.

1/3 = 8/24

3/8 = 9/24

=> 3/8 > 1/3

and therefore, 19/8 is the largest value and at the end of the list.

EXAMPLE 5 Find the maximum value of the function f(x, y, z) = x + 2y + 11z on the curve of intersection of the plane x − y + z =

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle x= -\frac{10}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle y= \frac{13}{\sqrt{269}}\\\\\displaystyle z = \frac{23\sqrt{269}+269}{269}$

Maximum value of f=2.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Lagrange Multipliers

It's a method to optimize (maximize or minimize) functions of more than one variable subject to equality restrictions.

Given a function of three variables f(x,y,z) and a restriction in the form of an equality g(x,y,z)=0, then we are interested in finding the values of x,y,z where both gradients are parallel, i.e.

$\bigtriangledown f=\lambda \bigtriangledown g$

for some scalar $\lambda$ called the Lagrange multiplier.

For more than one restriction, say g(x,y,z)=0 and h(x,y,z)=0, the Lagrange condition is

$\bigtriangledown f=\lambda \bigtriangledown g+\mu \bigtriangledown h$

The gradient of f is

$\bigtriangledown f=$

Considering each variable as independent we have three equations right from the Lagrange condition, plus one for each restriction, to form a 5x5 system of equations in $x,y,z,\lambda,\mu$ .
