Find two positive integers whose sum is 16 and the sum of squares is minimum.

Answers

Answer 1

x = 8 and y = 8 are the two positive numbers whose sum is 16 and the sum of the squares is minimum.

According to the question,

The two numbers are positive and the sum of the two numbers is 16 and the sum of the squares of the two numbers is the minimum.

Now to solve the question we will consider,

x and y are the two numbers, such that x > 0 and y > 0

Sum of the numbers : x + y = 16

Sum of squares of the numbers: S = x²+ y²

x + y = 16 y = (16 - x)

Assume, S = x² + y²

S = x² + (16 - x)²

Now we will differentiate with respect to x

dS/dx = 2x+ 2(16-x)(-1)

2x-2(16-x)=0

2x-32+2x=0

4x-32=0

4x=32

x=32/4

x=8

As x > 0, x = 8

d²S/dx² = d/dx [2x+ 2(16-x)(-1)]

d²S/dx² = d/dx (2x) - 2 d/dx (16-x)

d²S/dx² = 2 - 2[0-1]

d²S/dx² = 4

Now when x=8

d²S/dx²  = 4 ≥0

Therefore, the function S = sum of the squares of the two numbers is minimum at x = 8.

y = 16-8 = 8

Therefore, x = 8 and y = 8 are the two positive numbers whose sum is 16 and the sum of the squares is minimum.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's use the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

so,

5.4/sin(K/2) = 12.3/sin(M1)

8.2/sin(K/2) = x/sin(M2)

M1 + M2 = 180 (as complementary angles or linear pair)

M2 = 180 - M1

sin(K/2) = 5.4×sin(M1)/12.3

sin(K/2) = 8.2×sin(M2)/x

therefore

5.4×sin(M1)/12.3 = 8.2×sin(180 - M1)/x

since sin(a) = sin(180 - a)

5.4×sin(M1)/12.3 = 8.2×sin(M1)/x

and then

5.4/12.3 = 8.2/x

x×5.4 = 8.2×12.3

x = 8.2×12.3/5.4 = 18.67777777... ≈ 18.7

the rectangular floor of a classroom is 30 feet in length and 20 in width. A scale drawing
of the floor has a length of 15 inches. what is the area in square inches, of the floor in the scale drawing

Answers

Answer: 150 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the proportional ratios (convert feet to inches first):

30 ft = 360 inches (there are 12 inches in 1 foot)

20 ft = 240 inches (I'm assuming there is an error in the question and the width is 20 ft, NOT 20 inches!)

360/15 = 240/x

x is the width of the scaled down rectangle

solve for x:

360x = 3600

x = 10 in

Now calculate Area = length x width

A = 15 x 10 = 150 square inches

a train is 2500m long crosses a platform whose length is 1900 meters in 40 seconds . if a dog is running at the speed of 6 m\s in the direction of the train and the train is 936 meters away from the dog , then how much time will the train catch up with the dog

Answers

The train will catch up with the dog in 1.996 seconds

How to determine how much time it will take the train to catch up

The problem is solved using the formula for speed which is

distance / time

speed of the train = length of track / time

= 1900 / 40

= 475 m/s

speed of the dog is given to be 6 m/s

The relative velocity = 475 - 6 = 469 m/s

The time to catch up is calculated using relative velocity

469 * time = 936 meters

time = 936 / 469

= 1.996 seconds

The equation of the line into slope-intercept form is y = x/3 - 6

What are linear equations?

Linear equations are equations that have constant average rates of change.

Note that the constant average rates of change can also be regarded as the slope or the gradient

How to put the equation of a line into slope-intercept form?

From the question, we have the following equation that can be used in our computation:

9y−3x= −54

Rewrite properly

This gives

9y - 3x = -54

Divide through the equation by 3

So, we have the following representation

9y/3 - 3x/3 = -54/3

Evaluate

3y - x = -18

To rewrite as slope-intercept form is to make y the subject

So, we have

3y = x - 18

Divide through the equation by 3

So, we have the following representation

y = x/3 - 6

Ninety five percent of students in statistics scored between 62 pts and 90 pts. Assuming this data is normally distributed, what are the mean and standard deviation?.

Answers

The mean is 76 and the standard deviation is 7.

What is mean and standard deviation?

The standard deviation in statistics is a measurement of how much a group of values can vary or be dispersed. A low standard deviation suggests that values are often close to the set's mean, whereas a large standard deviation suggests that values are dispersed over a wider range.

In mathematics, particularly in statistics, there are various types of means. Each mean summarizes a particular set of data, frequently to help determine the overall significance of a particular data set.

Let, 95% of students in statistics scored between 62 and 90 points.

Here,

Mean = [tex]\frac{62+90}{2} = \frac{152}{2} = 76[/tex]

And the standard deviation is,

SD = [tex]\frac{90-76}{2}= \frac{14}{2} = 7[/tex]

Hence, the mean is 76 and the standard deviation is 7.

What is multiplication ? In mathematics, multiplication is a way of finding the product of two or more numbers. This is one of the basic arithmetic operations that we use in our daily life. The main application  can be seen in the multiplication table. In arithmetic,  multiplication of two numbers represents the repeated addition of one number  to another. These numbers include integers, natural numbers, whole numbers,  fractions, and so on. Multiplying m  by n means that m is added to itself n times, or vice versa. Multiplication in mathematics (denoted by an 'x') is an arithmetic operation separate from addition, subtraction, and division. Elementary school students learn the four  arithmetic operations on their own and learn how to solve multiplication problems quickly and easily. Multiplication is the process of taking the product of two or more numbers. Multiplication of numbers such as 'a' and 'b' is given as 'a' multiplied by 'b'. In mathematics, the basic description of multiplication is the repeated addition of one number to another. Multiplying single-digit numbers is easy. However, multiplying numbers with two or more digits is a difficult and time-consuming task. Numbers can be multiplied in any order. (3x4 = 4x3)If you want to multiply the number by a multiple of 10, enter the number of zeros equal to the multiple of 10 next to the multiplier (for example, 6 x 100 = 600).When multiplying three numbers, multiply by the smaller number first to do the math quickly, then multiply by the third number.If the multiplication involves numbers with two or three digits, write those numbers in extended form and then multiply. (for example.:45 × 9 = (40 + 5) × 9 = 40 × 9 + 5 × 9 = 360 + 45 = 405)Calculation

Answers

Using the theories of Application of derivative,we got that  59.11221inches³/sec  is rate of volume changing when the radius is 2.3 inches.

We are given rate of change of radius (dr/dt)=0.6inches

We know very well that volume of sphere is given by (4/3)πr³

where r is the radius of the sphere.

Now, differentiating the volume with respect to radius, we get

=>dV/dr=4πr²

=>dV/dt=(dv/dr)·(dr/dt)

=>dV/dt=4πr².(dr/dt)

We are given that dr/dt=0.6inches/sec

So, dV/dt=4πr²·(0.6)

Now, putting values of r=2.3

 dV/dt=4π(2.3)²×(0.6)

=>dV/dt=4×3.14×2.3×2.3×0.6

=>dV/dt=59.11221inches³/sec

Hence, if we suppose suppose that the radius is expanding at a rate of 0.6 inches per second, the volume is changing at the rate of 59.11221inches³/sec when the radius is 2.3 inches.
