Answer:

To question 1: van=9, bus=60

To question 2: Sorry, I don't know the answer.

To question 3: skate rental fee=$2.50, admission fee=$3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

Step 1 - set up equations

14v+16b=1,086

10b+13n=870

Step 2 - Solve for variable (in this case v)

10v+13b=870

Subtract 13b from both sides

10v=-13b+870

Divide both sides by 10

V=-1.3b+87

Step 3 - substitute the v in equation and solve

14 (-1.3b+87)+16b=1,086

-18.2b+1,218+16b=1,086

Combine like-terms

-2.2b+1,218=1,087

Subtract 1,218 from both sides

-2.2b=-132

Divide both sides by -2.2

B=60

Step 4 - substitute for b and solve

10v+13(60)=870

10v+780=870

Subtract 780 from both sides

10v=90

Divide both sides by 10

V=9

Question 3:

Step 1 - set up equations

5s+6f=32

5s+7f=35.25

Step 2 - solve for variable (in this case s)

5s+6f=32

Subtract 6f from both sides

5s=-6f+32

Divide both sides by 5

S=-1.2f+6.4

Step 3 - substitute for s and solve

5(-1.2f+6.4)+7f=35.25

-6f+32+7f=35.25

Combine like-terms

F+32=35.25

Subtract 32 from both sides

F=3.25

Step 4 - substitute for f

5s+6(3.25)=32

5s+19.5=32

Subtract 19.5 from both sides

5s=12.5

Divide both sides by 5

S=2.5

Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the dimensions of the rectangle of greatest area that can be inscribed in the ell

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Length (parallel to the x-axis): $2 \sqrt{2}$ ;

Height (parallel to the y-axis): $4\sqrt{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the top-right vertice of this rectangle $(x,y)$ . $x, y >0$ . The opposite vertice will be at $(-x, -y)$ . The length the rectangle will be $2x$ while its height will be $2y$ .

Function that needs to be maximized: $f(x, y) = (2x)(2y) = 4xy$ .

The rectangle is inscribed in the ellipse. As a result, all its vertices shall be on the ellipse. In other words, they should satisfy the equation for the ellipse. Hence that equation will be the equation for the constraint on x and y.

For Lagrange's Multipliers to work, the constraint shall be in the form: $g(x, y) =k$ . In this case

$\displaystyle g(x, y) = \frac{x^{2}}{4} + \frac{y^{2}}{16}$ .

Start by finding the first derivatives of $f(x, y)$ and $g(x, y)$ with respect to x and y, respectively:

$f_x = y$ ,
$f_y = x$ .

$\displaystyle g_x = \frac{x}{2}$ ,
$\displaystyle g_y = \frac{y}{8}$ .

This method asks for a non-zero constant, $\lambda$ , to satisfy the equations:

$f_x = \lambda g_x$ , and

$f_y = \lambda g_y$ .

(Note that this method still applies even if there are more than two variables.)

That's two equations for three variables. Don't panic. The constraint itself acts as the third equation of this system:

$g(x, y) = k$ .

$\displaystyle \left\{ \begin{aligned} &y = \frac{\lambda x}{2} && (a)\\ &x = \frac{\lambda y}{8} && (b)\\ & \frac{x^{2}}{4} + \frac{y^{2}}{16} = 1 && (c)\end{aligned}\right.$ .

Replace the $y$ in equation $(b)$ with the right-hand side of equation $(b)$ .

$\displaystyle x = \lambda \frac{\lambda \cdot \dfrac{x}{2}}{8} = \frac{\lambda^{2} x}{16}$ .

Before dividing both sides by $x$ , make sure whether $x = 0$ .

If $x = 0$ , the area of the rectangle will equal to zero. That's likely not a solution.

If $x \neq 0$ , divide both sides by $x$ , $\lambda = \pm 4$ . Hence by equation $(b)$ , $y = 2x$ . Replace the $y$ in equation $(c)$ with this expression to obtain (given that $x, y >0$ ) $x = \sqrt{2}$ . Hence $y = 2x = 2\sqrt{2}$ . The length of the rectangle will be $2x = 2\sqrt{2}$ while the height will be $2y = 4\sqrt{2}$ . If there's more than one possible solutions, evaluate the function that needs to be maximized at each point. Choose the point that gives the maximum value.

What is the image of -1 - 5 after a dilation by a scale factor of 5 centered at the origin

amm1812

the Given data

*The given point is (-1, -5)

*The given scale factor is 5

The image of -1 - 5 after dilation by a scale factor of 5 centered at the origin is given as

$(-1,-5)=(-1\times5,-5\times5)=(-5,-25)$

Thus, the image after dilation by a scale factor of 5 centered at origin is (-5, -25)

What is -3(2 - x) = 9x

Romashka [77]

Answer:

-1=x

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply the -3 into the (2-x). which gives you -6+3x=9x. Know you wanna get ride of the 3x so you subtract from both sides, which then gives you. -6=6x. From here were gonna need to get x by itself so you divide both sides by 6.

Tom invested £2500 for 3 years into his savings account.

Hitman42 [59]

The frist years interest would be £75 , so after 1 year it'd be £2,575 , after 2 years the interest would be £77.25 giving a total of £2,652.25 and after the third final ear , the interest would be £79.57 , resulting in Tom having <span>£2,731.82 at the end of the 3 years</span>
