Olin [163]

I assume u mean how many boys had attende the meeting. there are 60% boys, so lets think that there are 10 students where 6 are boys and four are girls.

if there had been one fewer girl we would have 9 students where there will be 6 boys.
boys: 6/9 => 2/3<=> 66.66% of the students are boys.

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of the function subject to the given constraints. (If a value do

Alex Ar [27]

The Lagrangian is

$L(x,y,z,\lambda,\mu)=3x-y-3z+\lambda(x+y-z)+\mu(x^2+2z^2-1)$

with critical points where its partial derivatives vanish:

$L_x=3+\lambda+2\mu x=0$

$L_y=-1+\lambda=0\implies\lambda=1$

$L_z=-3-\lambda+4\mu z=0$

$L_\lambda=x+y-z=0$

$L_\mu=x^2+2z^2-1=0\implies x^2+2z^2=1$

Since we know $\lambda=1$ , we have

$L_x=0\implies4+2\mu x=0\implies x=-\dfrac2\mu$
$L_z=0\implies-4+4\mu z=0\implies z=\dfrac1\mu$
$L_\mu=0\implies\dfrac6{\mu^2}=1\implies\mu=\pm\sqrt6$ , so that $x=\mp\dfrac2{\sqrt6}$ and $z=\pm\dfrac1{\sqrt6}$
$L_\lambda=0\implies y=z-x\implies y=\pm\dfrac3{\sqrt6}$

So there are two critical points, $\left(-\dfrac2{\sqrt6},\dfrac3{\sqrt6},\dfrac1{\sqrt6}\right)$ and $\left(\dfrac2{\sqrt6},-\dfrac3{\sqrt6},-\dfrac1{\sqrt6}\right)$ , which give a minimum value of $-2\sqrt6$ and a maximum value of $2\sqrt6$ , respectively.
