1,200.
$5120-$2840=2280
2280/1.90= 1,200

Consider the function f(x, y) = x2 + xy + y2 defined on the unit disc, namely, d = {(x, y)| x2 + y2 ≤ 1}. use the method of lagr

Pani-rosa [81]

First we note that the partial derivatives vanish simultaneously at one point:

$\begin{cases}f_x=2x+y=0\\f_y=x+2y=0\end{cases}\implies(x,y)=(0,0)$

so there is one critical point within the region $D$ .

The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,\lambda)=x^2+xy+y^2+\lambda(x^2+y^2-1)$

and has partial derivatives

$L_x=2x+y+2\lambda x$
$L_y=x+2y+2\lambda y$
$L_\lambda=x^2+y^2-1$

Set each partial derivative to 0 to find the possible critical points within the disk $D$ . Then we notice that

$yL_x=2xy+y^2+2\lambda xy=0$
$xL_y=x^2+2xy+2\lambda xy=0$
$L_\lambda=0\implies x^2+y^2=1$

$\implies xL_y-yL_x=x^2-y^2=0$

Since $x^2+y^2=1$ , we have

$x^2-y^2=x^2+y^2-2y^2=0\implies1=2y^2\implies y^2=\dfrac12\implies y=\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt2}$

And since $x^2-y^2=0$ , or $x^2=y^2$ , we also have

$x=\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt2}$

So we have four possible additional critical points to consider:

$f(0,0)=0$
$f\left(-\dfrac1{\sqrt2},-\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\right)=\dfrac32$
$f\left(-\dfrac1{\sqrt2},\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\right)=\dfrac12$
$f\left(\dfrac1{\sqrt2},-\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\right)=\dfrac12$
$f\left(\dfrac1{\sqrt2},\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\right)=\dfrac32$

It should be clear enough which of these correspond to the absolute extrema of $f$ over $D$ .

The two shortest sides of a right triangle are 10 in. And 24 in. long. What is the length of the shortest side of a similar righ

ivanzaharov [21]

If the two shortest sides of the triangle are 10in and 24in, then using Pythagoras' theorem, the longest side =
$\sqrt{10^2 + 24^2}$
= $\sqrt{676}$
= $26$

Now we know the two longest sides of the first triangle (24in and 26in) we can compare them with the two longest sides of the second triangle.
If $x$ = the scale factor the first triangle is enlarged by then
$26x = 39$ and $24x = 36$
⇒ $x = 1.5$

Finally, we need to multiply the smallest side of the first triangle by the scale factor to find the shortest side of the second triangle.
$10(1.5) = 15$
So the length of the shortest side of the other triangle is 15in.

You could, instead, calculate the length of the shortest side of the second triangle by using Pythagoras' theorem and ignoring the first triangle completely.

Please help me on this

The answer is D since if a variable x was +4, then it is inverses to -4 and it would be reflected upon the vertical line, which happens to be the y axis

Answer:

2/6 or 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

I can try to answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 23

2. 25

3. week 4 is 29, and week 3 is 23

29-23=6

4. week 5 and 7 because on week 4 it was 29, it dropped to 25 on week 5. On week 6 it was 37, then dropped to 34 on week 7.

Im not rlly sure about 5, but ill answer it if I figure it out.
