Absolute value signs make anything positive so it is 21.

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y)=x+4y subject to the constraint x2+y2=9, if such values

Vesnalui [34]

The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,\lambda)=x+4y+\lambda(x^2+y^2-9)$

with critical points where the partial derivatives vanish.

$L_x=1+2\lambda x=0\implies x=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}$

$L_y=4+2\lambda y=0\implies y=-\dfrac2\lambda$

$L_\lambda=x^2+y^2-9=0$

Substitute $x,y$ into the last equation and solve for $\lambda$ :

$\left(-\dfrac1{2\lambda}\right)^2+\left(-\dfrac2\lambda\right)^2=9\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}6$

Then we get two critical points,

$(x,y)=\left(-\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},-\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)\text{ and }(x,y)=\left(\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)$

We get an absolute maximum of $3\sqrt{17}\approx12.369$ at the second point, and an absolute minimum of $-3\sqrt{17}\approx-12.369$ at the first point.

Evaluate the following.<br> (iii) sin 30° + tan 40° - cosec 60° / cot 45° + cos 60° - sec 30°

bearhunter [10]

Sin 30 = 1/2

tan 45 = 1

Cosec 60 = 2 / √3 = 2√3 / 3

cot 45 = 1

Cos 60 = 1/2

sec 30 = 2 / √3 = 2√3 / 3

_______________________________

[ 1/2 + 1 - 2√3/3 ] ÷ [ 1 + 1/2 - 2√3/3 ] = <em>1</em>

The face and denominator of the fraction are exactly the same thus the answer is 1 .

An airplane pilot can see the top of a traffic control tower at a 20 degree angle of depression. the airplane is 5,000 feet away

daser333 [38]

The given question describes a right triangle with with one of the angles as 20 degrees and the side adjacent to the angle 20 degrees is of length 5,000 feet. We are looking for the length of the side opposite the angle 20 degrees.

Let the required length be x, then

$\tan{20^o}=\cfrac{opp}{hyp}=\cfrac{x}{5,000}\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=5,000\tan{20^o}=1,819.85$

Therefore, the height of the airplane above the tower is 1,819.85 feet.

How do you find area and the one on the right is 27

balu736 [363]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find what's the height of the shape and you also have to find the base. Then you multiply those together. If there 2 sides, multiply 2 and you will golet your answer.
