Determine if the equation is linear. If so, graph the function.

musickatia [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The equation is not linear

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the equation

\dfrac{2}{x}+\dfrac{y}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}

Express y in terms of x:

\dfrac{y}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}-\dfrac{2}{x}\\ \\\dfrac{y}{4}=\dfrac{3x-4}{2x}\\ \\y=4\cdot \dfrac{3x-4}{2x}\\ \\y=\dfrac{6x-8}{x}

The linear function must of form

y=mx+b,

where m and b are real numbers.

Your function is not of this form, so this is not a linear function.

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
