Answer:

x=21/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. combine like terms

-4+-7= -11 3x-2x=x

2. subtract x

5x-11=x+10

4x-11=10

3. add 11

4x=21

4. divide 21 by 4 = 21/4

Answer:

$96 is the original price of book

Step-by-step explanation:

keep the unknown value as X

(19.2/X)*100 = 20%

19.2/X = 0.2

19.2/0.2 = X

X = 96

Use Lagrange multipliers to find three positive numbers whose sum is 210 and whose product is maximum. (Enter your answers as a

nalin [4]

Answer: the three positive numbers are; 70, 70, 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that sum is equal = 210

Lets ( x, y, z ) be the three positive numbers

such that

x + y + z = 210

what is the maximum of xyz

take f(x,y,z) = xyz

Q(x,y,z) = 0

x + y + z -210 = 0

consider the function

F(x,y,z) = f(x,y,z) + λQ(x,y,z)

F = xyz + λ(x+y+z-210)

dF/dx = 0 ⇒ yz + λ(1) = 0 ⇒ λ = -yz ..............equ(1)

dF/dy = 0 ⇒ xz + λ(1) = 0 ⇒ λ = -xz.................equ(2)

dF/dz = 0 ⇒ xy + λ(1) = 0 ⇒ λ = -xy...............equ(3)

Now

equ(1)/equ(2) ⇒ λ/λ = -yz/-xz ⇒ x = +y

equ(1)/equ(3) ⇒ λ/λ = - yz/-xy ⇒ x = +z

⇒ y = z = x

by substitution

x + y + z = 210

x + x + x = 210

3x = 210

x = 210/3 = 70

∴ x, y, z = 70, 70 ,70

MAXIMUM

∛xyz = 70 { when x = y = z = 70}

What is the constant of variation, k, of the direct variation, y = kx, through (5, 8)? k = – k equals negative StartFraction 8 O

Reil [10]

The value of constant of variation "k" is $k = \frac{8}{5} \text{ or } 1.6$

Solution:

Given that the direct variation is:

y = kx ----- eqn 1

Where "k" is the constant of variation

Given that the point is (5, 8)

To find the value of "k" , substitute (x, y) = (5, 8) in eqn 1

$8 = k \times 5\\\\k = \frac{8}{5}\\\\k = 1.6$

Thus the value of constant of variation "k" is $k = \frac{8}{5} \text{ or } 1.6$
