The minimum distance is the perpendicular distance. So establish the distance from the origin to the line using the distance formula.
The distance here is: <span><span>d2</span>=(x−0<span>)^2</span>+(y−0<span>)^2
</span> =<span>x^2</span>+<span>y^2
</span></span>
To minimize this function d^2 subject to the constraint, <span>2x+y−10=0
</span>If we substitute, the y-values the distance function can take will be related to the x-values by the line:<span>y=10−2x
</span>You can substitute this in for y in the distance function and take the derivative:
<span>d=sqrt [<span><span><span>x2</span>+(10−2x<span>)^2]
</span></span></span></span>
d′=1/2 (5x2−40x+100)^(−1/2) (10x−40)<span>
</span>Setting the derivative to zero to find optimal x,
<span><span>d′</span>=0→10x−40=0→x=4
</span>
This will be the x-value on the line such that the distance between the origin and line will be EITHER a maximum or minimum (technically, it should be checked afterward).
For x = 4, the corresponding y-value is found from the equation of the line (since we need the corresponding y-value on the line for this x-value).
Then y = 10 - 2(4) = 2.
So the point, P, is (4,2).
Simplify the following:
(3 + 1/3)/(2 + 2/5)
Put 2 + 2/5 over the common denominator 5. 2 + 2/5 = (5×2)/5 + 2/5:
(3 + 1/3)/((5×2)/5 + 2/5)
5×2 = 10:
(3 + 1/3)/(10/5 + 2/5)
10/5 + 2/5 = (10 + 2)/5:
(3 + 1/3)/((10 + 2)/5)
10 + 2 = 12:
(3 + 1/3)/(12/5)
Put 3 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 3 + 1/3 = (3×3)/3 + 1/3:
((3×3)/3 + 1/3)/(12/5)
3×3 = 9:
(9/3 + 1/3)/(12/5)
9/3 + 1/3 = (9 + 1)/3:
((9 + 1)/3)/(12/5)
9 + 1 = 10:
(10/3)/(12/5)
Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, (10/3)/(12/5) = 10/3×5/12:
(10×5)/(3×12)
The gcd of 10 and 12 is 2, so (10×5)/(3×12) = ((2×5) 5)/(3 (2×6)) = 2/2×(5×5)/(3×6) = (5×5)/(3×6):
(5×5)/(3×6)
3×6 = 18:
(5×5)/18
5×5 = 25:
Answer: 25/18
We have FIVE cats that each ate 1/4 cup of canned food.
Then, the five of them together ate:
5 times 1/4 cup This in mathematical expression is a profduct of an integer value (5) times the fraction (1/4) which we know how to multiply based on the problems we solved a few minutes ago:
5 * 1/4 = 5/1 * 1/4 = (5 * 1) / (1 * 4) = 5/4 cups
This answer can also be written as a MIXED number given that 5/4 is an IMPROPER fraction (a fraction with numerator larger than the denominator)
5/4 = 1 1/4
Not sure what answer your teacher would prefer. It depends on whether he/she wants you to use fractions or mixed numbers.
