One function you would be trying to minimize is
<span>f(x, y, z) = d² = (x - 4)² + y² + (z + 5)² </span>
<span>Your values for x, y, z, and λ would be correct, but </span>
<span>d² = (20/3 - 4)² + (8/3)² + (-7/3 + 5)² </span>
<span>d² = (8/3)² + (8/3)² + (8/3)² </span>
<span>d² = 64/3 </span>
<span>d = 8/sqrt(3) = 8sqrt(3)/3</span>
Pythagoras Theroem.
Leg₁²+leg₂²=hypotenuse²
Data:
Leg₁=48
hypotneuse=80
(48)²+ leg₂²=(80)²
2304+leg₂²=6400
leg₂²=6400-2304
leg₂²=4096
leg₂=√4096
leg₂=64
Answer: B. 64
Given that the dealer sells a dozen tires for $240, every 3-tire set costs $60. There are six 2-tire sets in a dozen. Thus, his total revenue should be $360. The total profit is the difference between the total revenue and the total cost. The answer is therefore, the first choice, $120.
D :)
Because the y values are the same, all we need to take into account is the difference in the length of the x values.
There's an app called photomath that would be useful for these kinds of problems!
