Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that:
- 2/5 of the spice mixture was oregano.
- 1/3 of the spice mixture was basil.
Then, to find the fraction of the total amount of spice mixture that was oregano and basil, you must add both fractions, as following:
- Find the least common multiply of the denominators:
- Divide the LCM by each original denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.
- Make the addition.
Then, the result is:
You might be interested in
,
but we cannot solve for the set
because we are missing information.
You're looking for the extreme values of subject to the constraint
.
The target function has partial derivatives (set equal to 0)
so there is only one critical point at . But this point does not fall in the region
. There are no extreme values in the region of interest, so we check the boundary.
Parameterize the boundary of by
with . Then
can be considered a function of
alone:
has critical points where
:
but for all
, so this case yields nothing important.
At these critical points, we have temperatures of
so the plate is hottest at (1, 0) with a temperature of 14 (degrees?) and coldest at (-1, 0) with a temp of -12.
