Find the greatest possible value of the product xy, given that x and y are both positive and x + 2y = 30

Answers

Answer 1
greatest value of xy
x + 2y = 30, x = 30 - 2y
xy = (30-2y)y = 30y-2y^2
so if -2y^2+30y = 100, then we can take out a (-2), so: y^2-15y=-50, y^2-15y+50=0
(y-5)(y-10)=0
y-5=0, y=5
y-10=0, y=10
Now we can "plug n play": plug each into x = 30-2y
x = 30-2(5) = 30-10 = 20
x = 30-2(10) = 30-20 = 10
So if we make x=20, y=5... xy = 100
And if x=10, y=10... xy = 100
Now we need to try other number variations to see if they can make xy > 100
if y=6, then x = 30-2 (6) = 30-12 = 18
xy = (18)(6) = 108. Ooh! there's a better choice, but let's keep going
if y=7, then x = 30-2(7) = 16, xy = 7*16 = 112
Even higher! But let's check others
If y=8, then x = 30-16=14, so xy = 112
But from here, the higher y gets the product of xy starts to decrease again
So the greatest possible value comes from 7*16 and 8*14, in which x*y was the maximum it could be at 112
Answer 2

Answer: The maximum value of the product x*y is 112.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that x + 2y = 30

so we can isolate one of the variables and get:

x = 30 - 2y

now, the product of x*y can be written as:

x*y = (30 - 2y)*y = 30y - 2y^2

now, we want to find the maximum of 30y - 2y^2

because the leading coeficient is negative (-2), we know that the hands of the quadratic function will go downwards, so the zero of the derivate of this quadratic equation will give us the value where the equation has a maximum:

f(y) = -2*y^2 + 30*y

f'(y) = -4*y + 30 = 0

y =  -30/4 = 7.5

So the maximum value is:

f(7.5) = -2*7.5^2 + 30*7.5 = 112.5

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = 6x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a slope (6) and a point (0,2) we can use them in point slope form. The slope goes in for m and the point goes in for (x1, y1).

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 6(x - 0)

Find the critical numbers of the function f(x) = x6(x − 1)5 what does the first derivative test tell you that the second derivative test does not?

Answers

The given function is f(x) = x⁶(x-1)⁵

The first derivative is
f'(x) = 6x⁵(x-1)⁵ + 5x⁶(x-1)⁴
       = x⁵(x-1)⁴(6x - 6 + 5x)
       = x⁵(x-1)⁴(11x - 6)
The critical values are the zeros of f'(x). They are
x = 0, 6/11, and 1.
The critical values indicate that turning points exist for f(x) at the critical points. However, we do not know the nature of the turning points.

Write the first derivative in the form f'(x) = (x-1)⁴(11x⁶ - 6x⁵).
The second derivative is
f''(x) = 4(x-1)³(11x⁶ - 6x⁵) + (x-1)⁴(66x⁵ - 30x⁴)
        = (x-1)³(44x⁶ - 24x⁵ + 66x⁶ - 30x⁵ - 66x⁵ + 30x⁴)
        = (x-1)³(110x⁶ - 120x⁵ + 30x⁴)
        = 10x⁴(x-1)³(11x² - 12x + 3)
The sign of f''(x) at the critical values tell us the nature of the turning point.

f''(0) = 0, therefore a point of inflection exists at x = 0.
f''(6/11) > 0, therefore a local minumum exists at x = 6/11.
f''(1) = 0, therefore a point of inflection exists at x=1.

The graphs shown below confirm these results.

The critical numbers of [tex]\( f(x) = x^6 (x-1)^5 \)[/tex] are [tex]\( x = 0, 1, \frac{5}{6} \)[/tex]. The first derivative test determines maxima/minima by sign change, while the second derivative test confirms concavity but not explicit categorization.

1. Calculate the first derivative [tex]\( f'(x) \)[/tex]:

  Use the product rule and simplify:

[tex]\[ f(x) = x^6 (x-1)^5 \] \[ f'(x) = 6x^5 (x-1)^5 + x^6 \cdot 5(x-1)^4 \] \[ f'(x) = 6x^5 (x-1)^4 [x + 5(x-1)] \] \[ f'(x) = 6x^5 (x-1)^4 (6x - 5) \][/tex]

2. Find critical points:

  Critical points occur where [tex]\( f'(x) = 0 \)[/tex] or is undefined.

  Set [tex]\( f'(x) = 0 \)[/tex]:

 [tex]\[ 6x^5 (x-1)^4 (6x - 5) = 0 \][/tex]

  This equation is zero when:

[tex]\( 6x^5 = 0 \) -- \( x = 0 \)\\ \( (x-1)^4 = 0 \) -- \( x = 1 \)\\ \( 6x - 5 = 0 \) -- \( x = \frac{5}{6} \)[/tex]

  So, the critical numbers are [tex]\( x = 0, 1, \frac{5}{6} \)[/tex].

3. First Derivative Test vs. Second Derivative Test:

  - First Derivative Test: This test uses the sign of the derivative ( f'(x) ) to determine the nature of critical points:

    - If [tex]\( f'(x) > 0 \) to \( f'(x) < 0 \)[/tex] at x, then ( f(x) ) has a local maximum at x.

    - If [tex]\( f'(x) < 0 \) to \( f'(x) > 0 \)[/tex] at x, then ( f(x) ) has a local minimum at x.

  - Second Derivative Test: This test uses the sign of the second derivative [tex]\( f''(x) \)[/tex]:

    - If [tex]\( f''(x) > 0 \), \( f(x) \)[/tex] has a local minimum at x.

    - If [tex]\( f''(x) < 0 \), \( f(x) \)[/tex] has a local maximum at x.

4. Difference between the tests:

  - The first derivative test provides information about the nature (whether maximum or minimum) of critical points based on the sign change of the derivative.

  - The second derivative test provides more precise information by confirming the concavity of the function around the critical point, but it does not give explicit information about whether the critical point is a maximum or minimum (it only confirms the direction of concavity).

B. $2,725.67

C. $4,358.69

D. $1,722.25

Answers

I can help! Let's start with 1.
Your formula is r = n(ln(A/P)/(nt)) R being the interest rate of what your trying to find. So A= 3,634.51 P = 2,564.65 N is the number of times compounded per year.N= 2 and t is the number of years t= 13. Also while doing so use PEMDAS Let me know if you need any more help! 


Answer:

Compound interest formula is :

[tex]A=p(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

1.

A = 3634.51

p = 2564.65

r = ?

n = 2

t = 13

Putting the values in formula, we get

[tex]3634.51=2564.65(1+\frac{r}{2} )^{2*13}[/tex]

=> [tex]3634.51=2564.65(1+\frac{r}{2} )^{26}[/tex]

=> [tex]\frac{3634.51}{2564.65}=(\frac{2+r}{2} )^{26}[/tex]

=> [tex]1.417=(\frac{2+r}{2} )^{26}[/tex]

We get [tex]\sqrt[26]{1.417}=\frac{2+r}{2}[/tex]

We get r = 0.02699 and r = -4.02699 (neglecting the negative value)

We get r = 0.027 (rounded)

And in percentage, it is 2.7%.

So, option C is the answer.

2.

p = 2651.43

r = 2.8% or 0.028

n = 2

t = 18

Putting the values in formula we get;

[tex]A=2651.43(1+\frac{0.028}{2} )^{2*18}[/tex]

=> [tex]A=2651.43(1.014)^{36}[/tex]

A = $4373.67

So, interest earned = [tex]4373.67-2651.43=1722.24[/tex] dollars

Hence, option D. $1,722.25 is the answer.

If ABC and DEF are supplementary, then ABC and DEF form a linear pair

Answers

What are you asking? If you are asking if thats correct then that is only true if they are adjacent or right next to each other.
Final answer:

The statement is true. If two angles are supplementary meaning their sum is 180 degrees, they form a linear pair because in a linear pair too, the sum of the two angles is 180 degrees.

Explanation:

The question is related to the concept of angles in geometry. When angles are supplementary, it means that the sum of the two angles is 180 degrees. In a linear pair, two adjacent angles form a straight line, which also sums up to 180 degrees.

So, if angles ABC and DEF are supplementary, meaning ABC + DEF = 180 degrees, they indeed form a linear pair. Because in a linear pair too, the sum of the two angles is 180 degrees. Therefore, the statement 'If ABC and DEF are supplementary, then ABC and DEF form a linear pair' is true.

What are the expressions

Suppose that 16-ounce bags of chocolate chip cookies are produced with weights that follow a normal distribution with mean weight 16.1 ounces and standard deviation 0.1 ounce. for the distribution, approximately what percent of the bags will likely be underweight (that is, less than 16 ounces)?

Answers

To solve this we use the z statistic. The formula for z score is:

z = (x – u) / s

where x is the sample value = less than 16, u is the sample mean = 16.1, s is standard dev = 0.1

 

z = (16 – 16.1) / 0.1

z = - 1

 

From the standard distribution tables at z = - 1,

P (z = -1) = 0.1587

 

So about 15.87% is underweight.

Final answer:

To find the percentage of bags that will likely be underweight (less than 16 ounces), we need to find the area under the normal distribution curve to the left of 16 ounces. The probability is approximately 15.87%.

Explanation:

To find the percentage of bags that will likely be underweight (less than 16 ounces), we need to find the area under the normal distribution curve to the left of 16 ounces. We can use a Z-table or a calculator to find this probability. First, we need to standardize the value of 16 ounces using the formula Z = (X - μ) / σ, where X is the given value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation. Plugging in the values, we get Z = (16 - 16.1) / 0.1 = -1. This means that 16 ounces is 1 standard deviation below the mean.

Next, we can use the Z-table or a calculator to find the probability associated with a Z-score of -1. From the table or calculator, we find that the probability is approximately 0.1587 or 15.87%. Therefore, approximately 15.87% of the bags will likely be underweight (less than 16 ounces).
