Find three positive numbers the sum of which is 27, such that the sum of their squares is as small as possible.

Answers

Answer 1

The three positive numbers whose sum is 27 will be 14, 1, and 12.

What is the number?

A number is a mathematical entity that can be used to count, measure, or name things. For example, 1, 2, 56, etc. are the numbers.

Suppose the three positive numbers are x, y and z.

If the summation of numbers is 27.

⇒ x + y + z = 27 --- (1)

⇒ z = 27 - x - y

Suppose the square sum of the number be S.

∴ S = x² + y² + z²

⇒ S = x²+ y² + (27 - x - y)² --- (2)

We will optimize the function, partially differentiating it with respect to x and y, and setting dS/dx = 0 to get the minimum value of S.

2x + 2(27- x - y)(-1) = 0

2x - 54 + 2x + 2y = 0

4x + 2y - 54 = 0

y = 27 - 2x --- (3)

Differentiate partially with respect to y as

2y + 2(27 - x - y)(-1) = 0

2y - 54 + 2x + 2y = 0

4y + 2x - 54 = 0

x = 54 - 2y --- (4)

Substitute the value of y = 27 - 2x in the equation (4),

x = 12 - 2(27 - 2x)

x = 12 - 54 + 4x

4x - x = 54 - 12

3x = 42

⇒ x = 14

By substituting x = 14 in equation (3)

y =2(14) - 27

y = 28 - 27

⇒ y = 1

Substitute the values of x and y in equation (1),

14 + (1) + z = 27

z = -14+27-1

z= 12

Thus, the three positive numbers whose sum is 27 will be 14, 1, and 12.

A. Transform F using the rule (x, y) → (-x, y)
B. Describe the transformation precisely.
C. Does the transformation result in a a congruent figure?

Answers

Answer:

A: You plot these points (-3,4) (-3,6) (-5,6) (-7,4)

B: The transformation would be described as a reflection over the y axis

C:  The transformation does result in a congruent figure because the shape doesn't change in size or shape and in length or width

Step-by-step explanation:

So our plots from the figure are: (3,4)  (3,6)  (5,6)  (7,4)

So using the rule (x, y) → (-x, y) are new points would be:

(-3,4)

(-3,6)

(-5,6)

(-7,4)

This rule (x, y) → (-x, y) is used for the type of transformation that is a reflection but over the y axis.

I WILL GIVE 20 POINTS TO THOSE WHO ANSWER THIS QUESTION RIGHT NOOOO SCAMS AND EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS THE ANSWER

Answers

Answer:

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we can use the Geometric mean of leg theorem

The theorem states that the hypotenuse/leg 2 = leg 2/part 2

In this problem, leg 2 is x+18, the hypotenuse is 72, and part 2 is x.

Plugging the given values in, we get

72/x+18=x+18/x

We can then simplify it.

(x+18)^2=72x

x^2+36x+324=72x

x^2-36x+324=0

That is equal to (x-18)^2

So, x=18

The playground pictured here is having rubber flooring installed to help protect children against injuries from falls. If the cost, including installation, is $8.00 per square foot, what is the total cost of installing the surface?

Answers

Answer:

$6,672

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Playground

Area (rectangle) + 2 x Area (semicircle)26 x 20 + 2 x 3.14 x 10² x 1/2520 + 314834 square feet

Cost

$8.00 per square feet$8 x 834$6,672

Answer:

Using π:  $6,673.27 (nearest cent)

Using π = 3.14:  $6,672

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate the figure into a rectangle and two semicircles.

Area of a rectangle = width × length

                                = 20 ft × 26 ft

                                = 520 ft²

Area of a semicircle = 1/2 π r²

                                 = 1/2 π · 10²

                                 = 50π ft²

⇒ Total area = area of rectangle + (2 × area of semicircle)

                     = 520 + (2 × 50π)

                    = (520 + 100π) ft²

⇒ Total cost = area × cost

                     = (520 + 100π) × $8

                     = $6,673.27 (nearest cent)

**using π = 3.14**

Total cost = (520 + 100 × 3.14) × $8 = $6,672

please help me!!

Answers

Answer:

[tex](x,y,z)=(1477, 1464, 1437)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the selling of the units positive earning and the purchasing of the units negative earning.

Case-1:Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X and 5 units of YMr.A earns Rs6000

So, the equation would be

[tex]3x + 5y - 4z = 6000[/tex]

Case-2:Mr. B purchases 3 units of Y and sells 2 units of X and 1 units of ZMr B neither lose nor gain meaning he has made 0₹

hence,

[tex]2x - 3y + z = 0[/tex]

Case-3:Mr. C purchases 1 units of X and sells 4 units of Y and 6 units of ZMr.C earns 13000₹

therefore,

[tex] - x + 4y + 6z = 13000[/tex]

Thus our system of equations is

[tex]\begin{cases}3x + 5y - 4z = 6000\\2x - 3y + z = 0\\ - x + 4y + 6z = 13000\end{cases}[/tex]

Solving the system of equations:

we will consider elimination method to solve the system of equations. To do so ,separate the equation in two parts which yields:

[tex]\begin{cases}3x + 5y - 4z = 6000\\2x - 3y + z = 0\end{cases}\\\begin{cases}2x - 3y + z = 0\\ - x + 4y + 6z = 13000\end{cases}[/tex]

Now solve the equation accordingly:

[tex]\implies\begin{cases}11x-7y=6000\\-13x+22y=13000\end{cases}[/tex]

Solving the equation for x and y yields:

[tex]\implies\begin{cases}x= \dfrac{223000}{151}\\\\y= \dfrac{221000}{151}\end{cases}[/tex]

plug in the value of x and y into 2x - 3y + z = 0 and simplify to get z. hence,

[tex]\implies z= \dfrac{217000}{151} [/tex]

Therefore,the prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively approximately 1477, 1464, 1437

The radius of a circle is 9 feet. What is the Area and the circumference of the circle?

Answers

Answer:

area is 254.34 circumference is 56.52

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area you need to follow the formula r^2(pi)

so it would be 9x9x3.14 which is 254.34

to find circumference you need to find diameter which is double the radius (9x2) so the diameter is 18

To find circumference to need to do radius x pi

18x3.14 is 56.52

What is an expression?

The expression is defined as the relations of the numbers and the variables combined together to form the equation by the use of mathematical algebraic symbols like equal greater than or less than.

Given that a cup of hot water is placed on the counter to cool. The temperature of the water is currently 19°C above room temperature. If the temperature difference falls by 5% every minute.

The heat difference will be calculated as:-

Total decrease = 13 x 5 = 65%

[tex]H = 19\times\dfrac{100-65}{100}[/tex]

[tex]H = 19\times \dfrac{35}{100}[/tex]
