Answer:

The point that maximizes the objective function is (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

Constraints:

$x\geq 0\\y\geq 0\\-x + 3\geq y\\y\leq \frac{1}{3}x+1$

Using a graphing tool

The feasible region is the shaded area

see the attached figure

The vertices of the feasible region are

(0,0),(0,1),(1.5,1.5) and (3,0)

we know that

To find the point in the feasible region that maximizes the objective function, replace each ordered pair of vertices in the objective function and then compare the results.

The objective function is

$C=5x-4y$

For (0,0) -----> $C=5(0)-4(0)=0$

For (0,1) -----> $C=5(0)-4(1)=-4$

For (1.5,1.5) -----> $C=5(1.5)-4(1.5)=1.5$

For (3,0) -----> $C=5(3)-4(0)=15$

therefore

The point that maximizes the objective function is (3,0)

8÷2(2+2)= what is the solution

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Add the things in the bracket first so
2+2 = 4
then you do the 8 ÷ 2 = 4

then you multiply them together. this is because the number next to the bracket has a hidden multiply sign so

4 x 4 = 16

answer is 16

Encuentra en cada producto notable el error o errores,enciérralo y escribe el resultado correcto.

Given:

The equation is:

$(2x+3y)(2x-3y)=4x^2+6y^2$

To find:

The error in the given equation and correct it.

Solution:

We have,

$(2x+3y)(2x-3y)=4x^2+6y^2$

Taking left-hand side, we get

$L.H.S.=(2x+3y)(2x-3y)$

$L.H.S.=(2x)^2-(3y)^2$ $[\because a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)]$

$L.H.S.=(2)^2(x)^2-(3)^2(y)^2$ $[\because (ab)^x=a^xb^x]$

$L.H.S.=4x^2-9y^2$

It is not equal to right-hand side $4x^2+6y^2$ . In the right hand side, there must be a negative sign instead of positive sign.

Therefore, $(2x+3y)(2x-3y)=4x^2-6y^2$ .

Find the distance between points P(5, 1) and Q(3, 4) to the nearest tenth

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

$\sqrt{13}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ where $d$ is the distance between points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ . Let $(x_1,y_1)\rightarrow(5,1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)\rightarrow(3,4)$ , thus:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(3-5)^2+(4-1)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(3)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{4+9}\\\\d=\sqrt{13}$

Therefore, the distance between points P(5,1) and Q(3,4) is $\sqrt{13}$ units.

From measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain bacterium covers an area of 1.50 μm2. Convert the area into squa

NemiM [27]

So the problem ask to find and convert the area into square meters. So to convert is you must do the cross multiplication process that could cancel out unit and made the answer into a square meter, so the answer would be 1. x10^-12m^2. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
