I think of a number. I multiply it by 7. I add 12. The result is 40. What is the number I am thinking of?

1 answer:

8 0

The number that you are thinking of is 4. To get this answer I did the opposite of how you received your answer.
40 - 12 = 28
28 ÷ 4 = 7
The number that you are thinking of is 4.

The relationship between the slopes of two lines that are parallel is they are the same. The relationship between the slopes of two lines that are perpendicular is they are negative inverses of each other (they multiply to -1).
A line that is parallel to a line whose slope is 2 has slope 2.
A line that is perpendicular to a line whose slope is 2 has slope -1/2.

What must be done to make the graphs of two perpendicular lines appear to intersect at right angles when they are graphed using a graphing utility?

Find the critical points of the function f(x, y) = 8y2x − 8yx2 + 9xy. Determine whether they are local minima, local maxima, or

NARA [144]

Answer:

Saddle point: $(0,0)$

Local minimum: $(\frac{3}{8}, -\frac{3}{8})$

Local maxima: $(0,-\frac{9}{8})$ , $(\frac{9}{8},0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is:

$f(x,y) = 8\cdot y^{2}\cdot x -8\cdot y\cdot x^{2} + 9\cdot x \cdot y$

The partial derivatives of the function are included below:

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 8\cdot y^{2}-16\cdot y\cdot x+9\cdot y$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y \cdot (8\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9)$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 16\cdot y \cdot x - 8 \cdot x^{2} + 9\cdot x$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = x \cdot (16\cdot y - 8\cdot x + 9)$

Local minima, local maxima and saddle points are determined by equalizing both partial derivatives to zero.

$y \cdot (8\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9) = 0$

$x \cdot (16\cdot y - 8\cdot x + 9) = 0$

It is quite evident that one point is (0,0). Another point is found by solving the following system of linear equations:

$\left \{ {{-16\cdot x + 8\cdot y=-9} \atop {-8\cdot x + 16\cdot y=-9}} \right.$

The solution of the system is (3/8, -3/8).

Let assume that y = 0, the nonlinear system is reduced to a sole expression:

$x\cdot (-8\cdot x + 9) = 0$

Another solution is (9/8,0).

Now, let consider that x = 0, the nonlinear system is now reduced to this:

$y\cdot (8\cdot y+9) = 0$

Another solution is (0, -9/8).

The next step is to determine whether point is a local maximum, a local minimum or a saddle point. The second derivative test:

$H = \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} \cdot \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} - \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y}$

The second derivatives of the function are:

$\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} = 0$

$\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} = 0$

$\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y} = 16\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9$

Then, the expression is simplified to this and each point is tested:

$H = -16\cdot y +16\cdot x -9$

S1: (0,0)

$H = -9$ (Saddle Point)

S2: (3/8,-3/8)

$H = 3$ (Local maximum or minimum)

S3: (9/8, 0)

$H = 9$ (Local maximum or minimum)

S4: (0, - 9/8)

$H = 9$ (Local maximum or minimum)

Unfortunately, the second derivative test associated with the function does offer an effective method to distinguish between local maximum and local minimums. A more direct approach is used to make a fair classification:

S2: (3/8,-3/8)

$f(\frac{3}{8} ,-\frac{3}{8} ) = - \frac{27}{64}$ (Local minimum)
