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.

The Alpitude is 5 because that is what the positive slope is. The Vertex is (2,6) because that is the lowest point on the graph. The equation is

y=5lx-2l-6 (lx-2l reprsents the absolute value of x-2)
