Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

8a - 15 - 6a + 3a = 85

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Combine like terms:                    5a - 15 = 85
  2. Isolate <em>a</em> term:                              5a = 100
  3. Isolate <em>a</em>:                                       a = 20

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of f(x, y) = x+y+ p 1 − x 2 − y 2 on the quarter disc {(x, y) | x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, x2 +
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

absolute max: f(x,y)=1/2+p1 ; at P(1/2,1/2)

absolute min: f(x,y)=p1 ; at U(0,0), V(1,0) and W(0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the absolute max and min, we need to analyse the region inside the quarter disc and the region at the limit of the disc:

<u>Region inside the quarter disc:</u>

There could be Minimums and Maximums, if:

∇f(x,y)=(0,0) (gradient)

we develop:

(1-2x, 1-2y)=(0,0)

x=1/2

y=1/2

Critic point P(1/2,1/2) is inside the quarter disc.

f(P)=1/2+1/2+p1-1/4-1/4=1/2+p1

f(0,0)=p1

We see that:

f(P)>f(0,0), then P(1/2,1/2) is a maximum relative

<u>Region at the limit of the disc:</u>

We use the Method of Lagrange Multipliers, when we need to find a max o min from a f(x,y) subject to a constraint g(x,y); g(x,y)=K (constant). In our case the constraint are the curves of the quarter disc:

g1(x, y)=x^2+y^2=1

g2(x, y)=x=0

g3(x, y)=y=0

We can obtain the critical points (maximums and minimums) subject to the constraint by solving the system of equations:

∇f(x,y)=λ∇g(x,y) ; (gradient)

g(x,y)=K

<u>Analyse in g2:</u>

x=0;

1-2y=0;

y=1/2

Q(0,1/2) critical point

f(Q)=1/4+p1

We do the same reflexion as for P. Q is a maximum relative

<u>Analyse in g3:</u>

y=0;

1-2x=0;

x=1/2

R(1/2,0) critical point

f(R)=1/4+p1

We do the same reflexion as for P. R is a maximum relative

<u>Analyse in g1:</u>

(1-2x, 1-2y)=λ(2x,2y)

x^2+y^2=1

Developing:

x=1/(2λ+2)

y=1/(2λ+2)

x^2+y^2=1

So:

(1/(2λ+2))^2+(1/(2λ+2))^2=1

\lambda_{1}=\sqrt{1/2}*-1 =-0.29

\lambda_{2}=-\sqrt{1/2}*-1 =-1.71

\lambda_{2} give us (x,y) values negatives, outside the region, so we do not take it in account

For \lambda_{1}: S(x,y)=(0.70, 070)

and

f(S)=0.70+0.70+p1-0.70^2-0.70^2=0.42+p1

We do the same reflexion as for P. S is a maximum relative

<u>Points limits between g1, g2 y g3</u>

we need also to analyse the points limits between g1, g2 y g3, that means U(0,0), V(1,0), W(0,1)

f(U)=p1

f(V)=p1

f(W)=p1

We can see that this 3 points are minimums relatives.

<u>Conclusion:</u>

We compare all the critical points P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W an their respective values f(x,y). We find that:

absolute max: f(x,y)=1/2+p1 ; at P(1/2,1/2)

absolute min: f(x,y)=p1 ; at U(0,0), V(1,0) and W(0,1)

A bottle contains 20fluid ounces of lotion and sells for $5.80.The 20-fluid -ounce bottle contains 125% of the lotion in the nex
daser333 [38]
If the 20 fl.oz bottle contains 125% of the next smallest size, the next smallest bottle should be 4/5 of the 20fl. oz bottle.
That means the smaller bottle has 16 fl. oz (you can check it, multiply 16 by 1.25 and you get 20).
Next, you can find the price as dollars per fluid ounce.
The bigger bottle will be: 5.8/20=$0.29
The smaller bottle: 5.12/16=$0.32
In this case, the larger bottle is the better buy because you pay less per fluid ounce of lotion.

Which choice correctly expresses the solution set in the inequality in words?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality                   x + 2 ≥  5

Solve the inequality, remember that inequalities and equations are solved in similar ways.

- Subtract 2 in both sides

                                   x +2 - 2 ≥ 5 - 2

- Simplify

                                          x ≥ 3      

- Remember that this sign "≥" means that x is greater or equal to a number, and this sign "≤" means that x is lower or equal to a number.

The option that satisfies our inequality is the first option.
