Answer:

Joe has 15.25 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

One cup is equal to 8 ounces, so to find how many cups 122 ounces is, we can do 122/8 which is 15.25.

The volume of a cube, in cubic centimeters, is given by the function V(x) = x3, where x is the side length of the cube in centim

Sav [38]

I think we can all agree that 1 centimeter=10millimeters.

And if x is the side in centimeters then 10x will be the side in millimeters.

We just need to rewrite x^3 into (10x)^3.

Because you need to do the exponent to all part of the ( )...

(10x)^3=1000x^3

V(x)=1000x^3 cubic millimeters is the answer

Find three real numbers x, y, and z whose sum is 6 and the sum of whose squares is as small as possible. g

mart [117]

We're minimizing $x^2+y^2+z^2$ subject to $x+y+z=6$ . Using Lagrange multipliers, we have the Lagrangian

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda(x+y+z-6)$

with partial derivatives

$\begin{cases}L_x=2x+\lambda\\L_y=2y+\lambda\\L_z=2z+\lambda\\L_\lambda=x+y+z-6\end{cases}$

Set each partial derivative equal to 0:

$\begin{cases}2x+\lambda=0\\2y+\lambda=0\\2z+\lambda=0\\x+y+z=6\end{cases}$

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we find

$2x-2y=0\implies x=y$

Similarly, we can determine that $x=z$ and $y=z$ by taking any two of the first three equations. So if $x=y=z$ determines a critical point, then

$x+y+z=3x=6\implies x=y=z=2$

So the smallest value for the sum of squares is $2^2+2^2+2^2=12$ when $(x,y,z)=(2,2,2)$ .
