From cosine law
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2abcos(C)
cos(C) = (a^2 + b^2 - c^2)/2ab
this formula will solve your problem
Answer:
- y = 81-x
- the domain of P(x) is [0, 81]
- P is maximized at (x, y) = (54, 27)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
- x plus y equals 81
- x and y are non-negative
<u>Find</u>
- P equals x squared y is maximized
<u>Solution</u>
a. Solve x plus y equals 81 for y.
y equals 81 minus x
__
b. Substitute the result from part a into the equation P equals x squared y for the variable that is to be maximized.
P equals x squared left parenthesis 81 minus x right parenthesis
__
c. Find the domain of the function P found in part b.
left bracket 0 comma 81 right bracket
__
d. Find dP/dx. Solve the equation dP/dx = 0.
P = 81x² -x³
dP/dx = 162x -3x² = 3x(54 -x) = 0
The zero product rule tells us the solutions to this equation are x=0 and x=54, the values of x that make the factors be zero. x=0 is an extraneous solution for this problem so ...
P is maximized at (x, y) = (54, 27).
Its intersection would be at the centre of the sphere, each line being perpendicular to the other, probably
