Answer:

A point in geometry is a location. It has no size i.e. no width, no length and no depth.

Use lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of the function subject to the given constraint. f(x,y = xyz; x^

Snezhnost [94]

I'm assuming the constraint involves some plus signs that aren't appearing for some reason, so that you're finding the extrema subject to $x^2+2y^2+3z^2=96$ .

Set $f(x,y,z)=xyz$ and $g(x,y,z)=x^2+2y^2+3z^2-96$ , so that the Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=xyz+\lambda(x^2+2y^2+3z^2-96)$

Take the partial derivatives and set them equal to zero.

$\begin{cases}L_x=yz+2\lambda x=0\\L_y=xz+4\lambda y=0\\L_z=xy+6\lambda z=0\\L_\lambda=x^2+2y^2+3z^2-96=0\end{cases}$

One way to find the possible critical points is to multiply the first three equations by the variable that is missing in the first term and dividing by 2. This gives

$\begin{cases}\dfrac{xyz}2+\lambda x^2=0\\\\\dfrac{xyz}2+2\lambda y^2=0\\\\\dfrac{xyz}2+3\lambda z^2=0\\\\x^2+2y^2+3y^2=96\end{cases}$

So by adding the first three equations together, you end up with

$\dfrac32xyz+\lambda(x^2+2y^2+3z^2)=0$

and the fourth equation allows you to write

$\dfrac32xyz+96\lambda=0\implies \dfrac{xyz}2=-32\lambda$

Now, substituting this into the first three equations in the most recent system yields

$\begin{cases}-32\lambda+\lambda x^2=0\\-32\lambda+2\lambda y^2=0\\-32\lambda+3\lambda z^2=0\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}x=\pm4\sqrt2\\y=\pm4\\z=\pm4\sqrt{\dfrac23}\end{cases}$

So we found a grand total of 8 possible critical points. Evaluating $f(x,y,z)=xyz$ at each of these points, you find that $f(x,y,z)$ attains a maximum value of $\dfrac{128}{\sqrt3}$ whenever exactly none or two of the critical points' coordinates are negative (four cases of this), and a minimum value of $-\dfrac{128}{\sqrt3}$ whenever exactly one or all of the critical points' coordinates are negative.

The axis of a great circle of a sphere is 24 inches. If its radius is 9 inches, how far is the plane of a section from the cente

Blababa [14]

A great circle is a section of a sphere that passes through its center. If the earth were a sphere, a great circle would be the equator and its axis would be the line connecting the geographic north and south pole. The length of the axis is then equal to the diameter of the sphere. For this problem, the radius of the sphere is 12 inches. A section is formed by slicing through the sphere and all sections of a sphere are circles. Considering the plane to be cut above and parallel with the equator (which is a great circle), the distance of the plane from the center of the sphere would then be the distance between the centers of the sphere and section. It is also given that the radius of the section is 9 inches. A right triangle is formed by connecting the center of the sphere, an edge of the section, and back to the center of the sphere whose hypotenuse is 12 inches (radius of the sphere), one leg is the 9 inches (radius of the section), and another leg is the distance of the plane from the sphere's center. Thus, the distance can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, d = sqrt(12^2 - 9^2) = sqrt(144 - 81) = sqrt(63) = 3*sqrt(7).

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Which expression is the factorization of x2 + 10x + 21?

densk [106]

You must remember that a polynomial is written like so...

ax^2 + bx + c

In this case...

a = 1

b = 10

c = 21

To factor you must find two numbers who both add up to b (10) AND multiply to c (21)

3 + 7 = 10

3 * 7 = 21

so...

(x + 3 )(x + 7)

Hope this helped!
