The maximum value of f on the ellipse is approximately 1.779 and the minimum value is approximately -1.779.

To find the maximum and minimum values of f(x, y) = 3x + y on the ellipse x^2 + 4y^2 = 1, we can use the method of Lagrange multipliers.

First, we define the Lagrangian function as L(x, y, λ) = 3x + y - λ(x^2 + 4y^2 - 1). We then find the partial derivatives of L with respect to x, y, and λ and set them equal to zero:

∂L/∂x = 3 - 2λx = 0

∂L/∂y = 1 - 8λy = 0

∂L/∂λ = x^2 + 4y^2 - 1 = 0

Solving these equations simultaneously, we obtain the critical points (±1/3√5, ±1/√20). We can then evaluate f at these critical points to find the maximum and minimum values:

f(1/3√5, 1/√20) ≈ 0.593

f(1/3√5, -1/√20) ≈ -0.593

f(-1/3√5, 1/√20) ≈ 1.779

f(-1/3√5, -1/√20) ≈ -1.779

Intuitively, the Lagrange multiplier method allows us to optimize a function subject to a constraint, which in this case is the ellipse x^2 + 4y^2 = 1.

The critical points of the Lagrangian function are the points where the gradient of the function is parallel to the gradient of the constraint, which correspond to the maximum and minimum values of the function on the ellipse.

total revenue is $500 per day

total cost is $40 per day

total profit is $460 per day

To find the rate of change of total revenue, cost, and profit with respect to time, we need to take the derivative of the given functions with respect to x and then multiply by the rate of change of x with respect to time (dx/dt).

Total revenue (R) = 60x – 0.5x²
dR/dx = 60 – x
When x = 35, dR/dx = 60 – 35 = 25
Rate of change of total revenue = (dR/dx) * (dx/dt) = 25 * 20 = $500 per day

Total cost (C) = 2x+ 10
dC/dx = 2
When x = 35, dC/dx = 2
Rate of change of total cost = (dC/dx) * (dx/dt) = 2 * 20 = $40 per day

Total profit (P) = R - C
dP/dx = (dR/dx) - (dC/dx)
When x = 35, dP/dx = 25 - 2 = 23
Rate of change of total profit = (dP/dx) * (dx/dt) = 23 * 20 = $460 per day

Therefore, the rate of change of total revenue is $500 per day, the rate of change of total cost is $40 per day, and the rate of change of total profit is $460 per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the amount of money that shelly has.

let y = the amount of money that john has.

if shelly give john 5 dollars, then they both have the same amount of money.

this leads to the equation:

x-5 = y+5

if john give shelly 5 dollars, then shelly has twice as much money as john has.

this leads to the equation:

x+5 = 2(y-5)

solve for x in each equation to get:

x-5 = y+5 leads to:

x = y+10

x+5 = 2(y-5) leads to:

x+5 = 2y-10 which becomes:

x = 2y-15

you have 2 expressions that are equal to x.

they are:

x = y+10

x = 2y-15

you can set these expressions equal to each other to get:

y+10 = 2y-15

subtract y from both sides of this equation and add 15 to both sides of this equation to get:

y = 25

since x = 2y-15, this leads to:

x = 2(25)-15 which becomes:

x = 35

the equation x = y + 10 leads to the same answer of:

y =35

you have:

x = 25

The surface area of revolution about the x-axis of y=4x+2 over the interval 2 is approximately 88.99 square units.

To find the surface area of revolution about the x-axis of y=4x+2 over the interval 2, we first need to express the equation in terms of x.

Rearranging the equation, we get x = (y-2)/4.

Next, we need to determine the limits of integration.

Since we are rotating about the x-axis, the limits of integration are the x-values, which in this case are 0 and 2.

Using the formula for the surface area of revolution, S = 2π∫(y√(1+(dy/dx)^2))dx, we can plug in the values we have found.

dy/dx for y=4x+2 is simply 4, so we get:

S = 2π∫(4x+2)√(1+16)dx from 0 to 2

Simplifying this, we get:

S = 2π∫(4x+2)√17 dx from 0 to 2

Evaluating this integral using calculus, we get:

S = 32π√17/3

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

CF looks like the radius of the circle.

ED looks like the diameter.

.: ED = 2 x CF = 2 x 4 = 8

.: ED = 8

Answer:

The length of ED, or the diameter, is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

As the other person explained, CF is the radius, as the radius is from the centermost point to the edge.  I also see that ED is the diameter, as the diameter is from edge to edge, going through the centermost point.  Therefore, since the diameter is double the radius, we can solve this with the following equation:

2 * r = d, where r is radius and d is diameter.

2 * 4 = d

8 = d

The solution to the equation is x = 15.

To rewrite the exponential equation using the same base, we need to express both 8 and 32 as powers of the same base. Since both 8 and 32 are powers of 2, we can rewrite the equation as:

[tex](2^3)^(2x) = (2^5)^(x+3)[/tex]

Here, we used the fact that[tex](a^b)^c = a^(b*c)[/tex]to simplify the exponents. We also used the property that 8 is equal to 2 raised to the power of 3, and 32 is equal to 2 raised to the power of 5.

Now that we have rewritten the equation with the same base, we can equate the exponents on both sides of the equation to solve for x:

[tex]2^(6x) = 2^(5x + 15)[/tex]

Since the bases on both sides of the equation are equal, we can equate the exponents and solve for x:

6x = 5x + 15

Subtracting 5x from both sides, we get:

x = 15

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 15.

A. Melissa's monthly payment is approximately $146.89.

B. The total amount of the monthly payments over the four-year period is approximately $7,052.72.

C. The finance charge on the loan is approximately $1,052.72.

The interest on a loan or principal amount can be easily calculated using simple interest. Simple interest is a notion that is employed across a wide range of industries, including banking, finance, automobiles, and more.

To calculate the monthly payment, we can use the formula:

Monthly payment = [P x r x (1 + r)ⁿ] / [(1 + r)ⁿ⁻¹]

where P is the principal (the amount of the loan), r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of monthly payments.

A. To find the monthly payment, we first need to calculate the values of r and n.

Since the APR is 10%, the monthly interest rate is 10% / 12 = 0.00833 (rounded to 5 decimal places).

The number of monthly payments over four years is 4 x 12 = 48.

Using these values, we can calculate the monthly payment:

Monthly payment = [6000 x 0.00833 x (1 + 0.00833)⁴⁸] / [(1 + 0.00833)⁴⁸⁻¹]

Monthly payment ≈ $146.89

So Melissa's monthly payment is approximately $146.89.

B. To find the total amount of the monthly payments, we can multiply the monthly payment by the number of payments:

Total amount of monthly payments = Monthly payment x Number of payments

Total amount of monthly payments = $146.89 x 48

Total amount of monthly payments ≈ $7,052.72

So the total amount of the monthly payments over the four-year period is approximately $7,052.72.

C. To find the finance charge, we can subtract the original principal from the total amount of the monthly payments:

Finance charge = Total amount of monthly payments - Principal

Finance charge = $7,052.72 - $6,000

Finance charge ≈ $1,052.72

So the finance charge on the loan is approximately $1,052.72.

Problem 9:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Problem 8

Draw a line segment connecting the center of the circle, X, to A. This is the radius of the circle

The points ABX form a right triangle with AX as the hypotenuse and AB, BX as the legs of the right triangle

By the Pythagorean theorem
hypotenuse² = sum of the squares of the two legs

Plugging in line segment references

AX² = AB² + BX²

We are given AC = 8, BX = 3

Since the segment BX intersects AC at right angles, AB = BC = AC/2

So AB = 8/2= 4

Plugging these values into the Pythagorean formula
AX² = AB² + BX²

AX² = 4² +3²

AX² = 16 + 9

AX² = 25

Draw a line connecting X and D
The points DEX form a right triangle with DX as the hypotenuse and EX and DE as the legs

Again, by the Pythagorean theorem

DX² = DE² + EX²

But DX is the radius of the circle so it must be the same as AX

Substitute for DX in terms of AX
DX² = DE² + EX²

=> AX² = DE² + EX²

But AX² = 25 and EX = 2 giving EX² = 4

Therefore

AX² = DE² + EX² becomes
25 = DE² + 4

DE² = 25 - 4

DE² = 21

DE = √21

This is choice C

The particular solution of the given differential equation with the initial condition f(6) = -2.

To find the particular solution of the given differential equation dy/dx = (x-3)/y with the initial condition f(6) = -2, we first need to solve the differential equation. This is a first-order separable equation, so we can rewrite it as:

y dy = (x - 3) dx

Now, integrate both sides:

∫y dy = ∫(x - 3) dx

(1/2)y^2 = (1/2)x^2 - 3x + C

Now, apply the initial condition f(6) = -2:

(1/2)(-2)^2 = (1/2)(6)^2 - 3(6) + C

(1/2)(4) = (1/2)(36) - 18 + C

Answer:

The distance between these parallel lines is 2 - (-7) = 9 units.

The function f(z) = 1 + 6x + 96x^-1 has one local minimum and one local maximum. This function has a local maximum at x. The function f(x) = 1 + 6x + 96x^(-1) has a local maximum at x = -4.

To find the local maximum of the function f(x) = 1 + 6x + 96x^(-1), we first need to find the critical points. We do this by finding the first derivative of the function and setting it equal to zero.

Step 1: Find the derivative of the function
f'(x) = d/dx (1 + 6x + 96x^(-1))
f'(x) = 6 - 96x^(-2)

Step 2: Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for x
6 - 96x^(-2) = 0

Step 3: Solve for x
96x^(-2) = 6
x^(-2) = 6/96
x^(-2) = 1/16
x^2 = 16
x = ±4

Step 4: Determine which of the critical points is a local maximum. To do this, we will examine the second derivative of the function.

f''(x) = d^2/dx^2 (1 + 6x + 96x^(-1))
f''(x) = 192x^(-3)

Now we will evaluate the second derivative at each critical point:

f''(4) = 192(4)^(-3) = 3 > 0, so x = 4 is a local minimum.
f''(-4) = 192(-4)^(-3) = -3 < 0, so x = -4 is a local maximum.

Therefore, the function f(x) = 1 + 6x + 96x^(-1) has a local maximum at x = -4.

The total inventory costs consist of two parts: the cost of storing the shoes and the cost of reordering the shoes. The cost of storing the shoes is given by the formula:

Cost of storing = $6 per shoe pair per year x number of shoe pairs

Since the shoes are stored for a year, this cost is incurred annually. The cost of reordering the shoes is given by the formula:

Cost of reordering = $14 per order + $7 per shoe pair x number of shoe pairs

This cost is incurred each time the store places an order with the manufacturer.

Let x be the number of shoe pairs in each order from the manufacturer. The number of orders needed to sell 1750 shoe pairs each year is given by:

Number of orders = 1750 shoe pairs / x shoe pairs per order

The total inventory costs can be expressed as:

Total cost = Cost of storing + Cost of reordering

Substituting the formulas for the two costs and the expression for the number of orders, we get:

Total cost = $6 per shoe pair per year x 1750 shoe pairs + ($14 per order + $7 per shoe pair x x shoe pairs) x (1750 shoe pairs / x shoe pairs per order)

Simplifying this expression, we get:

Total cost = $10,500 + $14(1750/x) + $7(1750)

Total cost = $10,500 + $24,500/x

The surface area of the given regular pyramid is 84 cm^2.

To find the surface area of a regular pyramid, we need to calculate the area of each face and add them together. A regular pyramid has a base that is a regular polygon, and its lateral faces are triangles that meet at a common vertex. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the slant height of the pyramid, which is the height of each lateral face.

Let's assume that the base of the regular pyramid is a square with side length 6 cm, and the slant height is 4 cm.

First, we need to find the area of the base of the pyramid:

Area of the base = (side length)^2

                = 6 cm x 6 cm

                = 36 cm^2

Next, we need to find the area of each triangular lateral face. Since the pyramid is a regular pyramid, all the triangular faces are congruent.

We can find the area of each triangular face using the formula:

Area of a triangle = (1/2) x base x height

The base of each triangular face is equal to the side length of the square base, which is 6 cm. The height of each triangular face is equal to the slant height, which is 4 cm.

Area of each triangular face = (1/2) x 6 cm x 4 cm

                            = 12 cm^2

Since the pyramid has 4 triangular faces, we need to multiply the area of one triangular face by 4 to get the total area of all the triangular faces:

Total area of the triangular faces = 4 x 12 cm^2

                                 = 48 cm^2

Finally, we can find the total surface area of the pyramid by adding the area of the base and the area of the triangular faces:

Total surface area = Area of the base + Total area of the triangular faces

                  = 36 cm^2 + 48 cm^2

To find the length of a'b', we first need to know the scale factor of the dilation. The scale factor is given by the ratio of the corresponding side lengths in the original and diluted figures.

In this case, we are given that the original figure Aabc has been diluted by a factor of √2. So the length of each side in the dilated figure aa'b'c is √2 times the length of the corresponding side in Aabc.

To find the length of a'b, we can use the Pythagorean theorem in the right triangle aa'b'. Since we know that ab is one of the legs of this triangle, we can find its length as follows:

ab = (a'b' / √2) * sin(28°)

We are not given the length of ab or a in the original figure, so we cannot find their exact values. However, we can find the measure of angle A using the Law of Sines in triangle Aab:

sin(A) / ab = sin(62°) / b

where b is the length of side bc in Aabc. Solving for sin(A) and substituting the expression for ab that we found earlier, we get:

sin(A) = (sin(62°) / b) * [(a'b' / √2) * sin(28°)]

Since we know the values of sin(62°) and sin(28°), we can simplify this expression and use a value for b (if it is given in the problem) to find sin(A) and then A.

where x is the value we are interested in (30 minutes), μ is the mean commute time (39.7 minutes), and σ is the standard deviation (7.5 minutes).

z = (30 - 39.7) / 7.5 = -1.29

We can use a standard normal distribution table or calculator to find the area to the left of z = -1.29, which gives us:

P(z < -1.29) = 0.0985

Therefore, approximately 9.85% of New York City commutes are less than 30 minutes.

B. To find the percent of New York City commutes that are between 30 and 35 minutes, we need to calculate the z-scores for both values using the same formula:

z1 = (30 - 39.7) / 7.5 = -1.29

z2 = (35 - 39.7) / 7.5 = -0.62

We can then find the area between these two z-scores using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, which gives us:

P(-1.29 < z < -0.62) = P(z < -0.62) - P(z < -1.29) = 0.2676 - 0.0985 = 0.1691

Therefore, approximately 16.91% of New York City commutes are between 30 and 35 minutes.

With regard to the similar triangles,

In ΔACD

BE ∥ CD

In ΔACD and ΔABE

BE ∥ CD

∠ACD =∠ABE           (corresponding angles)

∠ADC = ∠AEB          (corresponding angles)

∠A = ∠A                    (common angle)

ACD ∼ ΔABE

So,  The corresponding sides are in proportion.

Now, find ED

AB/BC = AE/ED
ED = AE (BC/AB)
ED = 26(5/20)
ED = 6.5cm


For BE

AB/AC = BE/CD
BE = CD (AB/AC)
BE = 18 (20/25)
BE  = 14.4cm

Now, find BE

Therefore, the length of ED is 6.5cm and the length of BE is 14.4 cm.
