<h3>Given</h3>
Two positive numbers x and y such that xy = 192
<h3>Find</h3>
The values that minimize x + 3y
<h3>Solution</h3>
y = 192/x . . . . . solve for y
f(x) = x + 3y
f(x) = x + 3(192/x) . . . . . the function we want to minimize
We can find the x that minimizes of f(x) by setting the derivative of f(x) to zero.
... f'(x) = 1 - 576/x² = 0
... 576 = x² . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by x², add 576
... √576 = x = 24 . . . . . . . take the square root
... y = 192/24 = 8 . . . . . . . find the value of y using the above equation for y
The first number is 24.
The second number is 8.
Since there are three variables and three constants you add like terms.
3(x+15) = 3x + 40

The distance Rachel covers per hour is 3.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
After 2 hours, she is 13 miles from the campground.
After 4 hours, she is 6 miles from the campground.
Let x be the number of hours, y be the number of miles from the campground, then we have two points (2,13) and (4,6).
The equation of the line passing through the points
and
is

Substitute:

Hence,

The slope of the line is
and it represents that the distance Rachel covers per hour is 3.5 miles.
