1 1/4×-1 1/3 is equals to?​

Mathematics
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: -\frac{5}{12}

Steps:

1\frac{1}{4}\times \left(-1\right)\frac{1}{3}

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: 1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}

=\frac{5}{4}\times \left(-1\right)\frac{1}{3}

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:rule}:\quad \:a\left(-b\right)=-ab

\frac{5}{4}\left(-1\right)=-\frac{5}{4}\times \:1

=-\frac{5}{4}\times \:1\times \frac{1}{3}

\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:a\times 1=a

=-\frac{5}{4}\times \frac{1}{3}

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\:\times \:c}{b\:\times \:d}

\frac{5}{4}\times \frac{1}{3}=\frac{5\times \:1}{4\times \:3}

=-\frac{5\times \:1}{4\times \:3}

\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:5\times \:1=5

=-\frac{5}{4\times \:3}

\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:4\times \:3=12

=-\frac{5}{12}

Hope This Helps!

Nady [450]

Answer: I(x)=12x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let I represent the total money earned

Let x represent the number of toys sold

Since each toy is 12 dollars, then the company will earn 12 dollars for each toy that is sold.

Therefore,  the equation is,

I(x)=12x

Dog food costs 9$ per bag and cat food costs 8$ per bag. if billy spent 89$ and purchased 6 bags of dog food, how many bags of c
REY [17]
6 bags of dog food × $9 = 54
$89 total - $54 spent on dog food = $35 spent on cat food

$35 / $8 = 4.375, but you can't have decimals for cat food bags so round down.

= 4 bags of cat food

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of (i) f(x,y)-81x^2+y^2 subject to the constraint 4x^2+y^2=9. (i
sp2606 [1]

i. The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,\lambda)=81x^2+y^2+\lambda(4x^2+y^2-9)

with critical points whenever

L_x=162x+8\lambda x=0\implies2x(81+4\lambda)=0\implies x=0\text{ or }\lambda=-\dfrac{81}4

L_y=2y+2\lambda y=0\implies2y(1+\lambda)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }\lambda=-1

L_\lambda=4x^2+y^2-9=0

  • If x=0, then L_\lambda=0\implies y=\pm3.
  • If y=0, then L_\lambda=0\implies x=\pm\dfrac32.
  • Either value of \lambda found above requires that either x=0 or y=0, so we get the same critical points as in the previous two cases.

We have f(0,-3)=9, f(0,3)=9, f\left(-\dfrac32,0\right)=\dfrac{729}4=182.25, and f\left(\dfrac32,0\right)=\dfrac{729}4, so f has a minimum value of 9 and a maximum value of 182.25.

ii. The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=y^2-10z+\lambda(x^2+y^2+z^2-36)

with critical points whenever

L_x=2\lambda x=0\implies x=0 (because we assume \lambda\neq0)

L_y=2y+2\lambda y=0\implies 2y(1+\lambda)=0\implies y=0\text{ or }\lambda=-1

L_z=-10+2\lambda z=0\implies z=\dfrac5\lambda

L_\lambda=x^2+y^2+z^2-36=0

  • If x=y=0, then L_\lambda=0\implies z=\pm6.
  • If \lambda=-1, then z=-5, and with x=0 we have L_\lambda=0\implies y=\pm\sqrt{11}.

We have f(0,0,-6)=60, f(0,0,6)=-60, f(0,-\sqrt{11},-5)=61, and f(0,\sqrt{11},-5)=61. So f has a maximum value of 61 and a minimum value of -60.
