Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

3M=T

T-24=M+24

substitute for T in second equation

3M-24=M+24

solve for M

M=48/2; M=24

and T=72

together is 96

Find the max and min values of f(x,y,z)=x+y-z on the sphere x^2+y^2+z^2=81

Anton [14]

Using Lagrange multipliers, we have the Lagrangian

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x+y-z+\lambda(x^2+y^2+z^2-81)$

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)

$L_x=1+2\lambda x=0\implies x=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}$
$L_y=1+2\lambda y=0\implies y=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}$
$L_z=-1+2\lambda z=0\implies z=\dfrac1{2\lambda}$
$L_\lambda=x^2+y^2+z^2-81=0\implies x^2+y^2+z^2=81$

Substituting the first three equations into the fourth allows us to solve for $\lambda$ :

$x^2+y^2+z^2=\dfrac1{4\lambda^2}+\dfrac1{4\lambda^2}+\dfrac1{4\lambda^2}=81\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac1{6\sqrt3}$

For each possible value of $\lambda$ , we get two corresponding critical points at $(\mp3\sqrt3,\mp3\sqrt3,\pm3\sqrt3)$ .

At these points, respectively, we get a maximum value of $f(3\sqrt3,3\sqrt3,-3\sqrt3)=9\sqrt3$ and a minimum value of $f(-3\sqrt3,-3\sqrt3,3\sqrt3)=-9\sqrt3$ .

Answer:

It would be A:likely

Step-by-step explanation:

let's take rounding decimals for example; when you 5.86 and you were rounding to the nearest tenth it would be 5.9. That is because the 6 is greater than 5, so for the weather the highest the percentage it can be is 100% and 50% is half and since it is more than half then it would be more likely.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, – 7) and is perpendicular to the line 6x + 5y = 30?

fomenos

Answer :6x + 5y = 30

5y = 30 - 6x

y = 6 - (6/5) x

So slope = -6/5

Perpendicular line has slope 5/6 (product of the slopes is -1)

So y = 5/6 x + b

Passed through (-6, -7) so -7 = -5 + b

Sp b = -2

So y = (5/6)x - 2
