Find the minimum cost of producing 50,000 units of a product, where x is the number of units of labor (at $36 per unit) and y is

the number of units of capital (at $48 per unit).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given problem: C(x,y) = 36x + 48y

constraint: 100x^0.6y^0.4

Using langrange Multiplier,

36 = 0.6(100)x^-0.4y^0.4λ         i

48 = 0.4(100)x^0.6y^-0.6λ         ii

dividing the equations we have:

x = 2y

substituting into the constraint

p(x,y) = 100 *(2y)^0.6 y^0.4 = 100*2^0.6 *y

5000  = 151.572y

y = 329.876 labor units

x = 659.752 capital units

Minimum cost = 36(659.752) +48(329.876) = $39585.12

Complete the square to find the minimum value of the expression 4x2 + 8x + 23.
Tcecarenko [31]
So you need to come up with a perfect square that works for the x coefficients.
like.. (2x + 2)^2
(2x+2)(2x+2) = 4x^2 + 8x + 4
Compare this to the equation given. Our perfect square has +4 instead of +23. The difference is: 23 - 4 = 19

I'm going to assume the given equation equals zero..

So, If we add subtract 19 from both sides of the equation we get the perfect square.

4x^2 + 8x + 23 - 19 = 0 - 19
4x^2 + 8x + 4 = - 19
complete the square and move 19 over..
(2x+2)^2 + 19 = 0
factor the 2 out becomes 2^2 = 4
ANSWER: 4(x+1)^2 + 19 = 0

for a short cut, the standard equation
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 becomes a(x - h)^2 + k = 0
Where "a, b, c" are the same and ..
h = -b/(2a)
k = c - b^2/(4a)

Vertex = (h, k)
this will be a minimum point when "a" is positive upward facing parabola and a maximum point when "a" is negative downward facing parabola.

Differentiate with respect to t
True [87]

Answer:

\displaystyle 2x\frac{dx}{dt}-3y^2\frac{dy}{dt}+4z^3\frac{dz}{dt}=0

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to differentiate the equation:

x^2-y^3+z^4=1

With respect to <em>t</em>, where <em>x, y, </em>and <em>z</em> are functions of <em>t. </em>

<em />

So:

\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}\left[x^2-y^3+z^4\right]=\frac{d}{dt}\left[1\right]

Implicitly differentiate on the left. On the right, the derivative of a constant is simply zero. Hence:

\displaystyle 2x\frac{dx}{dt}-3y^2\frac{dy}{dt}+4z^3\frac{dz}{dt}=0
