A 16 1/2 pound rock is 6 more pounds heavier than a 10 1/2 pound rock.

Answer: 16\dfrac{1}{2} pound rock is 1.571 times heavier than 10\dfrac{1}{2} pounds rock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of rock = 16\dfrac{1}{2}\ pounds=\dfrac{33}{2}\ pounds

Quantity of another rock = 10\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{21}{2}\ pounds

We need to find the number of times heavier is 16 1/2 pound rockthen a 10 1/2 pound rock.

so, number of times is given by

\dfrac{33}{2}\div \dfrac{21}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{33}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{21}\\\\=\dfrac{33}{21}\\\\=1.571

Hence, 16\dfrac{1}{2} pound rock is 1.571 times heavier than 10\dfrac{1}{2} pounds rock.

An oak tree cast a shadow of 14 feet. A 30 foot flagpole casts a shadow of 60 how tall the Oak tree?
Alina [70]

Answer:

7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Oak tree = x

14 : x  as  60 : 30

Simplify the right ratio

14 : x  as 2:1

Get the same first number in both ratios by multiplying 2:1 by 7

14 : x  as 2(7) + 1(7)

14 : x as 14 : 7

Since the first number in each ratio is the same, we know that that x and 7 are equal

x = 7

Hope this helps, feel free to let me know if you would like a further explanation :)

Use lagrange multiplier techniques to find the local extreme values of f(x, y) = x2 − y2 − 2 subject to the constraint x2 + y2 =
dexar [7]
Given f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2 subject to the constraint x^2+y^2=16

Let g(x,\ y)=x^2+y^2.

The gradient vectors of f and g are:

\nabla f(x,\ y)=\langle2x,-2y\rangle and \nabla g(x,\ y)=\langle2x,2y\rangle

By Lagrange's theorem, there is a number \lambda, such that

\langle2x,-2y\rangle=\lambda\langle2x,2y\rangle=\langle2\lambda x,2\lambda y\rangle

\lambda=\pm1

It can be seen that f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2 has local extreme values at the given region.
