This basically comes down to maximizing xyz subject to x+9y+8z=27 and enforcing x,y.z>0. We have the Lagrangian

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=xyz+\lambda(x+9y+8z-27)

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0 to find critical points)

\begin{cases}L_x=yz+\lambda=0\\L_y=xz+9\lambda=0\\L_z=xy+8\lambda=0\\L_\lambda=x+9y+8z-27=0\end{cases}

Solving the first equation for \lambda gives \lambda=-yz. Substituting this into the next two equations, we have

xz-9yz=0\implies z(x-9y)=0\implies x=9y
xy-8yz=0\implies y(x-8z)=0\implies x=8z

Now

x+9y+8z=27\implies x+x+x=3x=27\implies x=9
x=9y\implies y=1
x=8z\implies z=\dfrac98

So the vertex of the cuboid in the given plane that maximizes the cuboids volume is (x,y,z)=\left(9,1,\dfrac98\right), giving a volume of \dfrac{81}8.

Matthew is 3 times as old as jenny. in 7 years, he will be twice as old as she will be then. how old is each now? Explain how to
Nataliya [291]

Let m and j be the current ages of Matthew and Jenny, respectively.

Now, Matthew is 3 times as old as Jenny, so the variables are in the following relation:

m=3j

In 7 years, both of them will be 7 years older, i.e. their ages will be m+7 and j+7, and Matthew will be twice as old:

m+7=2(j+7)

Now, remembering that m=3j, we can rewrite the second equation as

3j+7=2j+14 \iff j = 7

So, Jenny is 7 and Matthew is 21 (he's 3 times older).

In fact, in 7 years, they will be 14 and 28, and Matthew will be twice as old.

F(x) = 5x2 − 70x + 258. Complete the square.
astraxan [27]
5(x^2 - 14x + 258/5)
= 5((x-7)^2 -49+258/5)
= 5((x-7)^2 + 13/5)
= 5(x-7)^2 + 13
I belive this is how it should be done
