Answer: C) $8.67

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ,

Jamaal earns $8.42 per hour.

i.e. Original pay per hour = $8.42

If he gets a 3% raise , then his earning is raised by :

Raised amount= Percent of raise x Originla pay

$= 0.03\times 8.42$ [We convert 3% = 0.03 by dividing it by 100.]

$=\$0.2526\approx\$0.25$ [Rounded to the nearest cent]

Now, the amount he will earn after raise = Original pay +Raised amount

= $8.42+ $0.25= $8.67

Therefore , he will earn $8.67 per hour.

hence, the correct answer is C) $8.67

Find the point (x,y) of x2+14xy+49y2=100 that is closest to the origin and lies in the first quadrant.

Gala2k [10]

Notice that

$x^2+14xy+49y^2=(x+7y)^2$

so the constraint is a set of two lines,

$(x+7y)^2=100\implies\begin{cases}x+7y=10\\x+7y=10\end{cases}$

and only the first line passes through the first quadrant.

The distance between any point $(x,y)$ in the plane is $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ , but we know that $\sqrt{f(x,y)}$ and $f(x,y)$ share the same critical points, so we need only worry about minimizing $x^2+y^2$ . The Lagrangian for this problem is then

$L(x,y,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+\lambda(x+7y-10)$

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)

$L_x=2x+\lambda=0$

$L_y=2y+7\lambda=0$

$L_\lambda=x+7y-10=0$

We have

$L_y-7L_x=2y-14x=0\implies y=7x$

which tells us that

$x+7y-10=0\iff x+49x=10\implies x=\dfrac15\implies y=\dfrac75$

so that $\left(\dfrac15,\dfrac75\right)$ is a critical point. The Hessian for the target function $x^2+y^2$ is

$H(x,y)=\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\0&2\end{bmatrix}$

which is positive definite for all $x,y$ , so the critical point is the site of a minimum. The minimum distance itself (which we don't seem to care about for this problem, but we might as well state it) is $\sqrt{\left(\dfrac15\right)^2+\left(\dfrac75\right)^2}=2$ .

5. When looking at a map, a student realizes that Birmingham is nearly due west of Atlanta, and Nashville is nearly due north of

leonid [27]

Answer: 250 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can think in a triangle rectangle:

The distance from Birmingham to Atlanta is roughly 150 mi, and this is one of the cathetus.

And the distance from Birmingham to Nashville is roughly 200 mi, this is the other cathetus of the triangle.

Now, the distance from Atlanta to Nashville will be the hypotenuse of this triangle rectangle.

Now we can apply the Pythagorean's theorem:

A^2 + B^2 = H^2

Where A and B are the cathetus, and H is the hypotenuse:

Then:

H = √(A^2 + B^2)

H = √(150^2 + 200^2) mi = √(62,500) mi = 250 mi

Then the estimated distance from Atlanta to Nashville is 250 mi
