A store sells grass seed in small bags and large bags. The small bags have 7 pounds of seed for $27.93 and the large bags have 2

0 pounds of seed for $66.98. Which type of bag is the better buy? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

The 20 pound bag is a better by for only $66.98

Step-by-step explanation:

The large bag is better because the small bag is $27.93 for 7 pounds 7x3=21,so 3x27.93=83.79 is $16.81 more than the cost for the large bag

hope this makes sense;)

Find the critical points of the function f(x, y) = 8y2x − 8yx2 + 9xy. Determine whether they are local minima, local maxima, or
NARA [144]

Answer:

Saddle point: (0,0)

Local minimum: (\frac{3}{8}, -\frac{3}{8})

Local maxima: (0,-\frac{9}{8}), (\frac{9}{8},0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is:

f(x,y) = 8\cdot y^{2}\cdot x -8\cdot y\cdot x^{2} + 9\cdot x \cdot y

The partial derivatives of the function are included below:

\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 8\cdot y^{2}-16\cdot y\cdot x+9\cdot y

\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y \cdot (8\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9)

\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 16\cdot y \cdot x - 8 \cdot x^{2} + 9\cdot x

\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = x \cdot (16\cdot y - 8\cdot x + 9)

Local minima, local maxima and saddle points are determined by equalizing  both partial derivatives to zero.

y \cdot (8\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9) = 0

x \cdot (16\cdot y - 8\cdot x + 9) = 0

It is quite evident that one point is (0,0). Another point is found by solving the following system of linear equations:

\left \{ {{-16\cdot x + 8\cdot y=-9} \atop {-8\cdot x + 16\cdot y=-9}} \right.

The solution of the system is (3/8, -3/8).

Let assume that y = 0, the nonlinear system is reduced to a sole expression:

x\cdot (-8\cdot x + 9) = 0

Another solution is (9/8,0).

Now, let consider that x = 0, the nonlinear system is now reduced to this:

y\cdot (8\cdot y+9) = 0

Another solution is (0, -9/8).

The next step is to determine whether point is a local maximum, a local minimum or a saddle point. The second derivative test:

H = \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} \cdot \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} - \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y}

The second derivatives of the function are:

\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} = 0

\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} = 0

\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y} = 16\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9

Then, the expression is simplified to this and each point is tested:

H = -16\cdot y +16\cdot x -9

S1: (0,0)

H = -9 (Saddle Point)

S2: (3/8,-3/8)

H = 3 (Local maximum or minimum)

S3: (9/8, 0)

H = 9 (Local maximum or minimum)

S4: (0, - 9/8)

H = 9 (Local maximum or minimum)

Unfortunately, the second derivative test associated with the function does offer an effective method to distinguish between local maximum and local minimums. A more direct approach is used to make a fair classification:

S2: (3/8,-3/8)

f(\frac{3}{8} ,-\frac{3}{8} ) = - \frac{27}{64} (Local minimum)

S3: (9/8, 0)

f(\frac{9}{8},0) = 0 (Local maximum)

S4: (0, - 9/8)

f(0,-\frac{9}{8} ) = 0 (Local maximum)

Saddle point: (0,0)

Local minimum: (\frac{3}{8}, -\frac{3}{8})

Local maxima: (0,-\frac{9}{8}), (\frac{9}{8},0)

On Pennsylvania's interstate highway the speed limit is 65 mph. The minimum speed is 45 mph. Write a compound inequality that re
qaws [65]

Let x be the speed.

Maximum is 65 so x needs to be less than or equal to 65.

The minimum is 45, so x also has to be greater than or equal to 45

45 <= x => 65
