56 times!!

This is because the exponent indicates how many times you multiply a number. For example:
5^2= 5x5

Jace's car used 14 gallons to travel 378 miles. How far can he travel on 13 gallons?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

351 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

14 gallons for 378 miles = 1 gallon for 27 miles

1 * 13 gallons = 27 * 13 miles

13 gallons = 351 miles

Question 6 of 10

AysviL [449]

B and C; as the y intercept increases/decreases, the graph of the line shifts up/down.

The y intercept is where the function crosses the y-axis. If the y intercept moves either up or down, the whole function will be translated up/down vertically along the y-axis.

Find all points on the portion of the plane x+y+z=5 in the first octant at which f(x, y, z) = xy2z2 has a maximum value.

irina1246 [14]

Lagrange multipliers:

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

$L_x=y^2z^2+\lambda=0$
$L_y=2xyz^2+\lambda=0$
$L_z=2xy^2z+\lambda=0$
$L_\lambda=x+y+z-5=0$

$\lambda=-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z$

$-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2\implies y=2x$ (if $y,z\neq0$ )

$-y^2z^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=2x$ (if $y,z\neq0$ )

$-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=y$ (if $x,y,z\neq0$ )

In the first octant, we assume $x,y,z>0$ , so we can ignore the caveats above. Now,

$x+y+z=5\iff x+2x+2x=5x=5\implies x=1\implies y=z=2$

so that the only critical point in the region of interest is (1, 2, 2), for which we get a maximum value of $f(1,2,2)=16$ .

We also need to check the boundary of the region, i.e. the intersection of $x+y+z=5$ with the three coordinate axes. But in each case, we would end up setting at least one of the variables to 0, which would force $f(x,y,z)=0$ , so the point we found is the only extremum.
