Answer:

x = number of bicycles = 35

y = number of cars = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of bicycles

y = number of cars

x + y = 80 (1)

2x + 4y = 270 (2)

From (1)

x = 80 - y

Substitute x = 80 - y into (2)

2x + 4y = 270 (2)

2(80 - y) + 4y = 270

160 - 2y + 4y = 270

- 2y + 4y = 270 - 160

2y = 110

y = 110/2

y = 55

Substitute y = 55 into (1)

x + y = 80 (1)

x + 55 = 80

x = 80 - 55

x = 35

x = number of bicycles = 35

y = number of cars = 55

A store is hoping an advertising campaign will increase their number of customers by 30%. They currently have about 80 customers
leonid [27]

Answer:

There will be 104 customers a day, after advertising campaign

Step-by-step explanation:

Current number of customers in a day in shop = 80

After advertising campaign, the customers will increase = 30%

So, new customers will be:

We can find new customers by adding new 30% customers to the current 80 customers.

First find 30% of 80

30\% \  of \ 30\\=\frac{30}{100}*80\\=24

Now, add 24 to current 80 customers.

Number of customers = 80+24 = 104

So, there will be 104 customers a day, after advertising campaign

Find the dimensions of the closed rectangular box with maximum volume that can be inscribed in the unit sphere.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rectangle have (x,y,z) as vertex in positive octant.  The rectangular box has to be necessarily symmetrical about all the three axes.

Then the sides of the box would be

2x,2y,2z

Volume = 8xyz

Maximize volume subject to

x^2+y^2+z^2 =1

i.e. g(x,y,z) = x^2+y^2+z^2 -1=0

Use Lagrangian multipliers , we have

∇f(x,y,z)=λ∇g(x,y,z)at the maximum

∇f(x,y,z)=λ∇g(x,y,z) =(8yz,8xz,8xy)\\∇g(x,y,z)=(2x,2y,2z)

8yz=2λx8xz=2λy8xy=2λz

Dividing we get

\frac{y}{x} =\frac{x}{y} \\x^2=y^2

Similarly y^2=z^2

Thus we get 3x^2 =1\\x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }

Hence dimensions are

(2x,2y,2z)

So dimensions are

\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} } ,\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} } ,\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} } )
