Answer:

<u>Marge's</u> present age = 14 ; <u>Dan's</u> present age = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age

Let Marge's present age be = M

Dan's present age [D] : 14 years elder than Marge = M + 14

8 years ago

Marge Age = M - 8

Dan's Age = D - 8 = (M + 14) - 8 = M + 6

{Given} : Dan's age = 3 times Marge's age

M + 6 = 3 (M - 8)

M + 6 = 3M - 24

6 + 24 = 3M - M

30 = 2M

M = 30/2

M = 15 [Marge's present age]

Dan's present age [D] = M + 14 = 29

22.Lenin is preparing dinner plates. He has 12 pieces of chicken and 16 rolls. If he wants to make all the plates identicalwitho

Nitella [24]

Answer: The greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = 4

and there will be 3 chickens and 4 rolls in each plate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Lenin is preparing dinner plates. He has 12 pieces of chicken and 16 rolls.

To make all the plates identical without any food left over, the greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = G.C.D.(12,16)=4

The number of pieces of chicken in each plate = $\dfrac{12}{4}=3$

The number of pieces of rolls in each plate = $\dfrac{16}{4}=4$

So, the greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = 4

and there will be 3 chickens and 4 rolls in each plate.

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}

If the pointer in the figure is spun twice, find the probability that the pointer lands on red (R) both spins.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

The probability of the pointer lands on red(R) both spin = $\frac{1}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of parts = 6

The pointer is spun twice.

To find the probability of the pointer lands on red(R) both spin.

Formula

Probability of an event = number of required outcomes ÷ the total number of outcomes.

P(A and B) = P(A)×P(B)

Now,

For one spin,

A = RED comes.

For second spin,

B = RED comes

So,

P(A) = $\frac{1}{6}$ and P(B) = $\frac{1}{6}$

Then,

P(A and B) = $\frac{1}{6}$ × $\frac{1}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{36}$

Hence, the probability of the pointer lands on red(R) both spin = $\frac{1}{36}$
