One function you would be trying to minimize is
<span>f(x, y, z) = d² = (x - 4)² + y² + (z + 5)² </span>
<span>Your values for x, y, z, and λ would be correct, but </span>
<span>d² = (20/3 - 4)² + (8/3)² + (-7/3 + 5)² </span>
<span>d² = (8/3)² + (8/3)² + (8/3)² </span>
<span>d² = 64/3 </span>
<span>d = 8/sqrt(3) = 8sqrt(3)/3</span>
I believe the 3rd answer down if the information you provided is correct
Squaring the sum on the top, rules out 1 and 2 (not squaring the 7 only)
then 4 times the difference. so I believe 4 (x-1) on the bottom.
Answer:
1.714 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
slope is rise over run.
rise would be the vertical measurement and run would be the horizontal measurement.
24/14 = 12/7
12/7 = 1.714
