Sarah begins at a negative position along the x-axis. Sarah moves in the positive x-direction, turns around and then moves in th

e negative x-direction. Her final position is more negative that her initial position. Is the magnitude of Sarah's displacement greater than, less than, or equal to the distance she travels?

Answer:

he magnitude of Sarah's displacement is less than the distance she travels

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

The magnitude of her displacement is just the difference between her final and initial state, however the distance she traveled is two times the distance she moved in the positive x-direction until she turned around, since she had to move back, plus her displacement.

So:

displacement = |x_{final} -x_{initial}| \\distanceTraveled = 2|x_{return}-x_{initial}| + displacement\\

Since all the terms are positive:

x_{displacement}

Use lagrange multipliers to find the points on the given surface that are closest to the origin. y2 = 64 + xz
Inessa [10]
The distance between an arbitrary point on the surface and the origin is

d(x,y,z)=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}

Recall that for differentiable functions g(x) and h(x), the composition g(h(x)) attains extrema at the same points that h(x) does, so we can consider an augmented distance function

D(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2

The Lagrangian would then be

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda(y^2-64-xz)

We have partial derivatives

\begin{cases}L_x=2x-\lambda z\\L_y=2y+2y\lambda\\L_z=2z-\lambda x\\L_\lambda=y^2-64-xz\end{cases}

Set each partial derivative to 0 and solve the system to find the critical points.

From the second equation it follows that either y=0 or \lambda=-1. In the first case we arrive at a contradiction (I'll leave establishing that to you). If \lambda=-1, then we have

\begin{cases}2x+z=0\\2z+x=0\end{cases}\implies x=0,z=0

This means y^2=64\implies y=\pm8

so that the points on the surface closest to the origin are (0,\pm8,0).

Brody is purchasing some tools for his workshop. He has a budget of $120 and needs to buy at least 14 tools. Each hammer costs $
STatiana [176]

Answer:

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:

x: number of hammers

y: number of wrenches

We write the system of inequations:

10x + 6y <= 120

x + y> = 14

A study was conducted on the effects of divorce. Researchers gathered data from a random sample of 5,125 adults and measured qui
shusha [124]

Answer:

We can infer a cause-and-effect relationship because multiple variables were included.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiple attributes for the divorced ones are

1) less physically active

2) an unhealthy weight,

3) smokers.

The attribute showing the % of the married is

1) death

So when we compare the two groups married and divorced we see different variables are involved in evaluating the percentage.

This shows a cause and effect involving multiple variables.

In cause and effect one variable is dependent and the other is independent.

The cause is the independent variable and effect is the dependent variable.

CAUSE                          EFFECT

Married                         Death

Divorced                     1) less physically active

                                  2) an unhealthy weight,

                                     3) smokers.

Molly has cups of sugar. She used cup of sugar. She wants to model a subtraction problem on a number line to find how much sugar
vovangra [49]
I am going off the assumption that by "She used a cup of sugar" you mean that she used 1 cup of sugar. Since the model shows that her first step starts with 1.5, that means that she loses 1 cup, and moves 1 unit to the left. She is left with 0.5 cups of sugar.
B. She only moves 1 unit to the left.
