The objective function is simply a function that is meant to be maximized. Because this function is multivariable, we know that with the applied constraints, the value that maximizes this function must be on the boundary of the domain described by these constraints. If you view the attached image, the grey section highlighted section is the area on the domain of the function which meets all defined constraints. (It is all of the inequalities plotted over one another). Your job would thus be to determine which value on the boundary maximizes the value of the objective function. In this case, since any contribution from y reduces the value of the objective function, you will want to make this value as low as possible, and make x as high as possible. Within the boundaries of the constraints, this thus maximizes the function at x = 5, y = 0.
We can let
a = 1/(x-1)
b = 1/(y+2)
and rewrite the equations as
2a - b = 10
a + 3b = -9
Using the first to write an expression for b, we get
b = 2a - 10
Substituting this into the second equation gives
a + 3(2a -10) = -9
7a -30 = -9 . . . . . . . . simplify
7a = 21 . . . . . . . . . . .add 30
a = 3
b = 2·3 - 10 = -4
Now, we can find x and y.
3 = 1/(x -1)
x - 1 = 1/3
x = 1 1/3 = 4/3
-4 = 1/(y +2)
y +2 = -1/4
y = -2 1/4 = -9/4
Then the desired sum is
x + y = 4/3 -9/4 = (16 -27)/12
x + y = -11/12
The appropriate choice is ..
c. -11/12
Answer:
So each interior angle measurement of the regular triangle is 60 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangle is regular, this means all the side measurements are congruent to each other and that all the angle measurements are congruent to each other.
If the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees and you know they are each the same then you could either solve x+x+x=180 or know we are just dealings with an equiangular triangle in which all angles have measurement 60 degrees.
If need more convincing, let's actually solve:
x+x+x=180
3x=180
x=180/3
x=60
So each interior angle measurement of the regular triangle is 60 degrees.
