Answer:
P (5 , 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
P (x,y) partition A (x₁ , y₁) B (x₂ , y₂) into ratio AM:MB = a:b = 2:1 ... a=2 , b=1
x = (bx₁ + ax₂) / (a+b)
= (1 * 3 + 2 * 6) / (2 + 1)
= 15/3
= 5
y = (by₁ + ay₂) / (a+b)
= (1 * 4 + 2 * 10) / (2 + 1)
= 24/3
= 8
P (5 , 8)
Check the picture below.
as you can see, the graph of the volume function comes from below goes up up up, reaches a U-turn then goes down down, U-turns again then back up to infinity.
the maximum is reached at the close up you see in the picture on the right-side.
Why we don't use a higher value from the graph since it's going to infinity?
well, "x" is constrained by the lengths of the box, specifically by the length of the smaller side, namely 5 - 2x, so whatever "x" is, it can't never zero out the smaller side, and that'd happen when x = 2.5, how so? well 5 - 2(2.5) = 0, so "x" whatever value is may be, must be less than 2.5, but more than 0, and within those constraints the maximum you see in the picture is obtained.
<u>Given:</u>
It is given that the ridge is 360 inches tall.
<u>Assumptions:</u>
Assume you are 170.1 cm tall which equals 67 inches tall, the height from your eye to the floor is inches.
The distance from your eye level to the bottom of the ridge is 427 inches.
Assume the angle A is 60°.
<u>To find the distance from you to your dog.</u>
<u>Solution:</u>
A right-angled triangle can be formed where the angle is 60°, the distance between you and the dog is the hypotenuse of the triangle and your height from the floor is the adjacent side of the triangle.
Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x inches.
To determine the length of the hypotenuse, we determine the cos of the angle.
So if the ridge is 360 inches tall and you are 67 inches tall and the angle A is 60°, the distance between your dog and you is 854 inches.
