Answer:  to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable (i.e. confounding variables)

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable (i.e. confounding variables). This increases the reliability of the results, often through a comparison between control measurements and the other measurements.

This extreme value problem has a solution with both a maximum value and a minimum value. Use Lagrange multipliers to find the ex
velikii [3]

Answer:

The maximum value= 36

Minimum value = - 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

f(x, y, z) = 8 x + 8 y + 4 z

h(x,y,z)=4 x² + 4 y² + 4 z² - 36

From Lagrange multipliers

Δf = λ Δh

Δf = < 8 ,8 , 4>

Δh = < 8 x ,8 y  , 8 z>

Δf = λ Δh

So

< 8 ,8 , 4> = < 8  λ x ,8 λ y  , 8 λ z>

8 = 8  λ x                     -------------1

8 = 8 λ y                      ----  ------2

4 = 8 λ z                    ----------------3

From equation 1 ,2 and 3

Now by putting the value of x,y and z in the following equation

4 x² + 4 y² + 4 z² = 36

4\times \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2 }+4\times \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2 }+4\times \dfrac{1}{(2\lambda)^2 }=36

\dfrac{4}{\lambda^2 }+ \dfrac{4}{\lambda^2 }+ \dfrac{1}{\lambda^2 }=36

So the value of λ is

\lambda =\pm \dfrac{1}{2}

When λ = 1/2

x = 1 / λ   , y=1 / λ   ,  z= 1 /2 λ

x= 2 , y = 2 , z=1

So

f(x, y, z) = 8 x + 8 y + 4 z

f(2, 2, 1) = 8 x 2 + 8 x 2 + 4 x 1

f(2, 2, 1) =36

When λ = - 1/2

x = 1 / λ   , y=1 / λ   ,  z= 1 /2 λ

x= - 2 , y = - 2 , z= - 1

So

f(x, y, z) = 8 x + 8 y + 4 z

f(-2, -2, -1) = 8 x (-2) + 8 x (-2) + 4 x (-1)

f(-2, -2, -1) = - 36

The maximum value= 36

Minimum value = - 36

10. Suppose you earn $7.25 per hour working part-time for a florist. What is the minimum number of hours you must work to earn a
UNO [17]
To make it like a simple, I'll make an equation. Let x be the number of hours because x represents unknown and we don't know the hours. Then your per hour is $7.25 right? so it would be x7.25. You want to know how many hours you will work so you can earn $125. The equation is simple as this x7.25 = 125.
All you have to do is divide the equation by 7.25 because that's your per hour.
It will look like this, <u>x7.25</u> = <u>125</u>   then the answer would be 17.24 hours. 
                                   7.25   7.25
