Answer:

70 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

I know there are 4 quarts in a gallon, so divide the given quarts amount by 4!

280 ÷ 4 = 70.

Use lagrange multipliers to find the shortest distance, d, from the point (4, 0, −5 to the plane x y z = 1

Varvara68 [4.7K]

I assume there are some plus signs that aren't rendering for some reason, so that the plane should be $x+y+z=1$ .

You're minimizing $d(x,y,z)=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+y^2+(z+5)^2}$ subject to the constraint $f(x,y,z)=x+y+z=1$ . Note that $d(x,y,z)$ and $d(x,y,z)^2$ attain their extrema at the same values of $x,y,z$ , so we'll be working with the squared distance to avoid working out some slightly more complicated partial derivatives later.

The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=(x-4)^2+y^2+(z+5)^2+\lambda(x+y+z-1)$

Take your partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:

$\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial x}=2(x-4)+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=2y+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial z}=2(z+5)+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial\lambda}=x+y+z-1=0\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}2x+\lambda=8\\2y+\lambda=0\\2z+\lambda=-10\\x+y+z=1\end{cases}$

Adding the first three equations together yields

$2x+2y+2z+3\lambda=2(x+y+z)+3\lambda=2+3\lambda=-2\implies \lambda=-\dfrac43$

and plugging this into the first three equations, you find a critical point at $(x,y,z)=\left(\dfrac{14}3,\dfrac23,-\dfrac{13}3\right)$ .

The squared distance is then $d\left(\dfrac{14}3,\dfrac23,-\dfrac{13}3\right)^2=\dfrac43$ , which means the shortest distance must be $\sqrt{\dfrac43}=\dfrac2{\sqrt3}$ .

A grocery store clerk put only cans of tomato soup and cans of chicken soup on a shelf. The ratio of the number of cans of chick

larisa [96]

Answer:

9 cans of tomato soup

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that only cans of tomato soup and cans of chicken soup are put on the shelf.

Now, we are told that the ratio of the number of cans of chicken noodle soup to the total number of cans on the shelf was 8 to 17.

In fraction, this is 8/17

Now, this implies that there are 8 cans of chicken noodle soup while there are a total of 17 cans on the shelf.

Thus,

Since only cans of chicken noodles and cans of tomato soup are on the shelf, it means;

Cans of tomato soup = 17 - 8 = 9

Two altitudes of a triangle have lengths $12$ and $14$. What is the longest possible integer length of the third altitude

nataly862011 [7]

The longest possible altitude of the third altitude (if it is a positive integer) is 83.

According to statement

Let h is the length of third altitude

Let a, b, and c be the sides corresponding to the altitudes of length 12, 14, and h.

From Area of triangle

A = 1/2*B*H

Substitute the values in it

A = 1/2*a*12

a = 2A / 12 -(1)

Then

A = 1/2*b*14

b = 2A / 14 -(2)

Then

A = 1/2*c*h

c = 2A / h -(3)

Now, we will use the triangle inequalities:

a < b+c

2A/12 < 2A/14 + 2A/h

Solve it and get

h<84

b < a+c

2A/14 < 2A/12 + 2A/h

Solve it and get

h > -84

c < a+b

2A/h < 2A/12 + 2A/14

Solve it and get

h > 6.46

From all the three inequalities we get:

6.46<h<84

So, the longest possible altitude of the third altitude (if it is a positive integer) is 83.
