Solving these equations simultaneously, we can obtain estimates for the unknown parameters β1, β2, γ, and u that minimize the sum of squared differences between the observed pressures and the predicted pressures based on the given equation. These estimates will represent the best fit of the model to the observed data.

To obtain the normal equations for this model using the method of nonlinear least squares (NLLS), we first need to define our error function as the sum of squared differences between the observed pressures and the predicted pressures based on the given equation:

E(β1, β2, γ, u) = Σ [Yi - β1(10)^(β2t_i/(γ+t_i)+u_ti)]^2

where Yi is the observed pressure at temperature ti, and β1, β2, γ, and u are the unknown parameters that we want to estimate.

Next, we need to take partial derivatives of E with respect to each unknown parameter and set them equal to zero to obtain the normal equations:

∂E/∂β1 = -2Σ[Yi - β1(10)^(β2t_i/(γ+t_i)+u_ti)]*(10)^(β2t_i/(γ+t_i)+u_ti)/(γ+t_i+u_ti) = 0

∂E/∂β2 = -2Σ[Yi - β1(10)^(β2t_i/(γ+t_i)+u_ti)]β1log(10)t_i(10)^(β2t_i/(γ+t_i)+u_ti)/(γ+t_i+u_ti)^2 = 0

∂E/∂γ = 2Σ[Yi - β1(10)^(β2t_i/(γ+t_i)+u_ti)]β1(10)^(β2t_i/(γ+t_i)+u_ti)*t_i/(γ+t_i+u_ti)^2 = 0

∂E/∂u = -2Σ[Yi - β1(10)^(β2t_i/(γ+t_i)+u_ti)]β1(10)^(β2t_i/(γ+t_i)+u_ti)*t_i/(γ+t_i+u_ti)^2 = 0

(a)  "h" in terms of "r" can be written as h = 1200/(πr²).

(b) The "Surface-Area" in terms of "r" will be 2πr² + 2400r⁻¹,

(c) The value of "r" will be 5.76 cm and value of "h" will be 11.52 cm.

Part (a) : To express h in terms of r, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder : V = πr²h,

where V = volume, r = radius, and h = height,

In this case, the volume of can is = 1200 cm³.

So, we have : 1200 = πr²h,

To express "h" in terms of "r", we rearrange the equation as follows:

h = 1200/(πr²).

So, h is equal to 1200 divided by the product of π and r squared.

Part (b) : The surface-area of can consists of area of base and lateral surface area. The base of can is a circle, and lateral surface area is the curved surface of the cylinder.

The base has an area of πr², and the lateral surface area is given by the formula 2πrh.

So, surface area of can is expressed as : A = 2πr² + 2πrh.

Substituting value of h from part(a),

We get,

A = 2πr² + 2πr × 1200/(πr²),

A = 2πr² + 2400/r

A = 2πr² + 2400r⁻¹,

Part (c) : To minimize the values, we take derivative of "Surface-Area" and set it equal to 0,

A' = 4πr - 2400/r² = 0

4πr = 2400/r²,

4πr³ = 2400,

r³ = 2400/4π,

r = (2400/4π) × 1/3,

r = 5.76 cm    .

To find h, we substitute in this value in formula we derived for h:

h = 1200/(πr²)

h = 1200/(π(5.76)²),

h = 11.52 cm.

The correct answer is A. It is the graph of y = x translated 8 units up.

To understand why option A is correct, let's analyze the equation y = x − 8. The original equation y = x represents a straight line with a slope of 1 and y-intercept at the origin (0, 0). The addition of −8 to the equation y = x shifts the entire graph vertically downward by 8 units.

By subtracting 8 from the y-values of each point on the original graph, we move every point down by 8 units. This means that for any given x-value, the corresponding y-value is decreased by 8 units. Thus, the graph of y = x − 8 is obtained by translating the graph of y = x vertically upward by 8 units.

Options B, C, and D describe transformations that do not accurately reflect the given equation y = x − 8. A translation 8 units to the left would involve changing the x-values, not the y-values.

A translation 8 units down would require subtracting 8 from the y-values, not the entire equation. Lastly, changing the slope would result in a different equation altogether, not just a vertical translation.

Therefore, the correct description of the graph of y = x − 8 is that it represents the graph of y = x translated 8 units up.

In statistics, a confidence interval is a range of values, derived from a data sample,

That is used to estimate an unknown Population  Parameter.

The interval has an associated confidence level that quantifies the level of confidence that the parameter lies in the interval

The formula for calculating the confidence interval for the difference between two means is given below: CI = (X1 - X2) ± t(α/2, n1 + n2 - 2) × s√(1/n1 + 1/n2)

Where CI is the confidence interval, X1 and X2 are the sample means,

s is the pooled standard deviation, n1 and n2 are the sample sizes, t(α/2, n1 + n2 - 2) is the critical value from the t-distribution with α/2 level of significance and n1 + n2 - 2 degrees of freedom.

We can use this formula to find the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the means of the two populations:

First, we need to calculate the pooled standard deviation:

s = sqrt(((n1 - 1) × s1^2 + (n2 - 1) × s2^2) ÷ (n1 + n2 - 2))s = sqrt(((11 - 1) × 1.3^2 + (15 - 1) × 1.16^2) ÷ (11 + 15 - 2))s = sqrt(169.46 ÷ 24)s = 1.87

Next, we need to calculate the critical value from the t- distribution: t(0.025, 24) = 2.064

Finally, we can calculate the confidence interval: CI = (X1 - X2) ± t(α/2, n1 + n2 - 2) × s√(1/n1 + 1/n2)CI = (3.27 - 2.53) ± 2.064 × 1.87 √(1/11 + 1/15)CI = 0.74 ± 0.963CI = (−0.223, 1.703)

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the means of the two populations is (−0.223, 1.703).

It will take approximately 9.04 years for $6,000 to grow to $11,200 if it is invested at 5.50% compounded continuously.

We can use the formula for continuous compounding to solve this problem. The formula is:

A = Pe^(rt)

where A is the amount of money we end up with, P is the initial amount invested, e is Euler's number (approximately 2.71828), r is the annual interest rate expressed as a decimal, and t is the time in years.

In this problem, we know that P = $6,000, A = $11,200, and r = 0.055. We want to solve for t.

Plugging in the values we get:

$11,200 = $6,000 x e^(0.055t)

Dividing both sides by $6,000 we get:

1.8667 = e^(0.055t)

Taking the natural log of both sides we get:

ln(1.8667) = ln(e^(0.055t))

ln(1.8667) = 0.055t

Solving for t we get:

t = ln(1.8667)/0.055

t ≈ 9.04

The best choice for a 75% confidence interval for the probability of success (p) in a Bernoulli population, given a sample of successes and failures (X1Xn) with n = 400 and Ex-bar = 0.68, is option (c) .68 ± .0323.

To calculate the confidence interval, we can use the formula for a confidence interval for a proportion in a Bernoulli distribution:

p ± Zα/2 * √(p(1-p)/n)

Here, p represents the sample proportion, Zα/2 is the critical value corresponding to the desired confidence level (in this case, 75% confidence level), and n is the sample size.

Given that Ex-bar = p = 0.68 and n = 400, we need to find the critical value Zα/2.

The critical value Zα/2 is determined using the standard normal distribution. Since the confidence level is 75%, the corresponding alpha value (1 - confidence level) is 0.25. To find Zα/2, we locate the area of 0.25 in the tails of the standard normal distribution table. The critical value is approximately 1.15.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have:

0.68 ± 1.15 * √((0.68 * (1-0.68))/400)

Calculating the expression inside the square root, we get √(0.0004296). Simplifying further, we have:

0.68 ± 1.15 * 0.0207

Calculating the multiplication, we get 0.0238. Therefore, the confidence interval is:

0.68 ± 0.0238

Rounding to the nearest decimal, we obtain the final result:

0.68 ± 0.0323

Thus, the correct answer is option (c) .68 ± .0323.

The average temperature difference in a heat exchanger can be calculated by subtracting the outlet temperature of the hot fluid (crude oil in this case) from the inlet temperature of the hot fluid, and then subtracting the outlet temperature of the cold fluid (reactant in this case) from the inlet temperature of the cold fluid.

For the co-current flow, the average temperature difference is:

Inlet temperature difference = 250°C - 100°C = 150°C
Outlet temperature difference = 180°C - 160°C = 20°C

Average temperature difference for co-current flow = Inlet temperature difference - Outlet temperature difference = 150°C - 20°C = 130°C

For the counter-current flow, the average temperature difference is:

Inlet temperature difference = 250°C - 100°C = 150°C
Outlet temperature difference = 180°C - 160°C = 20°C

Average temperature difference for counter-current flow = Inlet temperature difference + Outlet temperature difference = 150°C + 20°C = 170°C

To determine if the mean age of faculty cars is less than the mean age of student cars, a researcher can conduct a hypothesis test. The null hypothesis (H₀) states that the mean age of faculty cars is greater than or equal to the mean age of student cars, while the alternative hypothesis (H₁) states that the mean age of faculty cars is less than the mean age of student cars.

In this case, we have a random sample of 25 student cars with a sample mean age of 7 years and a sample variance of 20. We also have a random sample of 32 faculty cars with a sample mean age of 5.8 years and a sample variance of 16.

To perform the hypothesis test, we can calculate the test statistic using the formula:

t = (X_bar₁ - X_bar₂) / sqrt((s₁²/n₁) + (s₂²/n₂))

where X_bar₁ and X_bar₂ are the sample means, s₁² and s₂² are the sample variances, and n₁ and n₂ are the sample sizes.

c. The proportion of returns at the Houston store is significantly different from the returns for the nation as a whole since the confidence interval (0.1033, 0.2395) does not include the national return rate of 0.08.

a. To construct a point estimate of the proportion of items returned for the population of sales transactions at the Houston store, we divide the number of returned items (12) by the total number of items sampled (70):

Point Estimate = 12/70 = 0.1714 (rounded to 4 decimals)

Therefore, the point estimate for the proportion of items returned at the Houston store is approximately 0.1714.

b. To construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of returns at the Houston store, we can use the formula for confidence intervals for proportions:

Confidence Interval = Point Estimate ± (Critical Value) * Standard Error

The critical value can be obtained from the standard normal distribution table, which corresponds to a 90% confidence level. For a 90% confidence level, the critical value is approximately 1.645.

The standard error is calculated as the square root of [(Point Estimate * (1 - Point Estimate)) / Sample Size]:

Standard Error = sqrt[(0.1714 * (1 - 0.1714)) / 70] ≈ 0.0414 (rounded to 4 decimals)

Substituting the values into the formula:

Confidence Interval = 0.1714 ± 1.645 * 0.0414

Calculating the expression:

Confidence Interval = 0.1714 ± 0.0681

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of returns at the Houston store is approximately (0.1033, 0.2395) when rounded to 4 decimals.

c. To determine if the proportion of returns at the Houston store is significantly different from the returns for the nation as a whole, we can compare the confidence interval to the national return rate of 8% (0.08).

Since the confidence interval (0.1033, 0.2395) does not include the national return rate of 8%, we can conclude that the proportion of returns at the Houston store is significantly different from the returns for the nation as a whole.

In summary, the statistical support indicates that the return rate for the Houston store differs significantly from the national return rate.

To determine the intervals where each of the given functions is continuous, the following steps need to be followed:

Assuming that f(x) is continuous everywhere, the left and right limits at x = 2 are equal.

2A + 10 = 2 |A + 5|

Taking

2A + 10 = 2A + 10,  when

|x | y-coordinate of Q | Point Q(x, y) | Slope of Secant Line |

------------------------------------------------------

|16| 4 + √x - 16      | (16, 4 + √x - 16)| (4 + √x - 16 - 4) / (x - 16) |

To find the y-coordinate of point Q, we substitute the x-value of Q into the function f(x) = √x. Since point Q lies on the graph of the function, its y-coordinate will be equal to the square root of its x-coordinate.

To find the point Q(x, y), we combine the x-coordinate of Q with the y-coordinate obtained in the previous step. Therefore, the coordinates of Q are (x, √x).

To determine the slope of the secant line passing through points P and Q, we use the formula for slope: (change in y)/(change in x). In this case, the change in y is equal to (4 + √x - 16 - 4) since the y-coordinate of point P is 4, and the change in x is (x - 16) since the x-coordinate of point P is 16.

In summary, completing the table involves finding the y-coordinate of Q by taking the square root of its x-coordinate, determining the point Q(x, y) by combining the x and y coordinates, and calculating the slope of the secant line by applying the slope formula to points P and Q.

The molar flow of each component in the product stream will be: C₂H₄ = 50 kmol, O₂ = 0 kmol, and C₂H₄O = 50 kmol.

To determine the limiting reactant, we need to compare the number of moles of each reactant to the stoichiometric ratio in the balanced equation.

From the balanced equation: C₂H₄ + 1/2O → C₂H₄O

1 mole of C₂H₄ reacts with 1/2 mole of O₂ to produce 1 mole of C₂H₄O.

Number of moles of ethene (C₂H₄) = 100 kmol

Number of moles of oxygen (O₂) = 100 kmol

Since the stoichiometric ratio between ethene and oxygen is 1:1/2, we can see that 1 mole of ethene requires 1/2 mole of oxygen.

Considering the number of moles available for both reactants, we find that 1 mole of ethene requires 1/2 mole of oxygen, but we have equal moles of each. Therefore, the limiting reactant is oxygen (O₂).

The maximum extent of reaction is determined by the limiting reactant, which is oxygen. Thus, the maximum extent of reaction is 100/2 = 50 kmol.

To calculate the percentage excess of the excess reactant (ethene in this case), we can compare the number of moles actually used with the number of moles initially available.

Number of moles of ethene used = 50 kmol (since oxygen is limiting)

Percentage excess of ethene = [(100 kmol - 50 kmol) / 100 kmol] * 100% = 50%

If the reaction proceeds to completion, all the limiting reactant (oxygen) will be consumed, and the molar flow of each component in the product stream will be as follows:

Molar flow of C₂H₄ = 100 kmol - 50 kmol = 50 kmol

Molar flow of O₂ = 0 kmol (all consumed)

Molar flow of C₂H₄O = 50 kmol (produced)

Answer:

i. P(B) =0.12

ii. P(B) = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:
Mutually exclusive events:

A and B are mutually exclusive events if they cannot occur at the same time. This means that A and B do not share any outcomes and

P(A AND B) = 0.

P(A ∩ B) =0

Independent events:

Two events A and B are independent events if the knowledge that one occurred does not affect the chance the other occurs.
Two events are independent if the following are true:

For Question:

i) A and B are mutually exclusive events

P((A ∪ B)')=0.48

P(A) = 0.4

Since it is  mutually exclusive events

P(A ∩ B) =0

P(B)=?

We have,

P((A ∪ B)') = 1 - P(A ∪ B)

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) = 0.4 + P(B) - 0 = P(B) + 0.4

Substituting value

P((A ∪ B)') = 1 - P(A ∪ B)

0.48 = 1 - P(B) - 0.4

1-P(B) - 0.4 = 0.48

Simplifying:

P(B)=1-0.4-0.48

P(B) =0.12

[tex]\hrulefill[/tex]

ii) A and B are independent events.

P((A ∪ B)')=0.48

P(A) = 0.4

Since A and B are independent events.

P(A ∩ B) =P(A).P(B)

P(B)=?

we have,

P((A ∪ B)') = 1 - P(A ∪ B)

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)=  0.4 + P(B) - 0.4 *P(B)

Substitute the values:

P((A ∪ B)') = 1 - P(A ∪ B)

0.48=1-(0.4 + P(B) - 0.4*P(B))

0.48=1-0.4-P(B)+0.4*P(B)

Simplifying:

P(B)-0.4*P(B)=1-0.4-0.48

0.6*P(B)=0.12

Dividing both sides by 0.6:

P(B) = 0.12/0.6

P(B) = 0.2

Answer:

(i)  P(B) = 0.12

(ii) P(B) = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

A bar over a set means that we should take the complement of that set. It can also be notated by an apostrophe:

[tex]\sf P(\overline{A \cup B})=(A \cup B)'[/tex]

A complement of a set refers to the elements that are not included in the set, but are part of the universal set.

The symbol "∪" means the union of sets. It represents the set that contains all the elements that are in either set or in both sets.

P(A ∪ B) represents the probability of the union of sets A and B, which is the event that either A or B or both occur. Therefore, P(A ∪ B)' represents the probability of the complement of P(A ∪ B), so the probability of the event that neither A nor B occurs. Mathematically, it can be defined as:

[tex]\boxed{\sf P(A\cup B)' = 1 - P(A\cup B)}[/tex]

[tex]\hrulefill[/tex]

Mutually exclusive events are those that have no common outcomes and therefore cannot occur simultaneously.  When represented using a Venn diagram, mutually exclusive events are depicted as non-overlapping circles.

The addition law for mutually exclusive events is:

[tex]\boxed{\sf P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)}[/tex]

Therefore, as P(A ∪ B)' = 1 - P(A ∪ B), we can say that:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \sf P(A \cup B)'&=\sf 1-P(A \cup B)\\ &=\sf 1-[P(A)+P(B)]\end{aligned}[/tex]

Given P(A ∪ B)' = 0.48 and P(A) =0.4, substitute these into 1 - [P(A) + P(B)] and solve for P(B):

[tex]\begin{aligned}\sf 1-[0.4+P(B)]&=\sf0.48\\\sf1-0.4-P(B)&=\sf0.48\\\sf 1-0.4-0.48&=\sf P(B)\\\sf P(B)&=\sf0.12\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, P(B) = 0.12 if events A and B are mutually exclusive.

[tex]\hrulefill[/tex]

If the probability of an event B happening doesn’t depend on whether an event A has happened or not, events A and B are independent.

The addition law for independent events is:

[tex]\boxed{\sf P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)}[/tex]

The product law for independent events is

[tex]\boxed{\sf P(A \cap B)=P(A)P(B)}[/tex]

Therefore, as P(A ∪ B)' = 1 - P(A ∪ B), we can say that:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \sf P(A \cup B)'&=\sf 1-P(A \cup B)\\ &=\sf 1-[P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)]\\&=\sf 1-[P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B)]\end{aligned}[/tex]

Given P(A ∪ B)' = 0.48 and P(A) =0.4, substitute these into the found expression, and solve for P(B):

[tex]\begin{aligned}\sf 1-[0.4+P(B)-0.4P(B)]&=\sf0.48\\\sf 1-[0.4+0.6P(B)]&=\sf 0.48\\\sf 1-0.4-0.6P(B)&=\sf 0.48\\\sf 0.6-0.6P(B)&=\sf 0.48\\\sf 0.6P(B)&=\sf 0.12\\\sf P(B)&=\sf 0.2\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, P(B) = 0.2 if events A and B are independent.

A)  The length of the major axis is 2a = 4, and the length of the minor axis is 2b = 2b.

B) the length of the major axis is 2a = 2, and the length of the minor axis is 2b = 2b.

C)  Perimeter ≈ 2π √((a² + b²)/2), where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the major and minor axes, respectively

D) The vertices of an ellipse are the points where the ellipse intersects the major axis.

E) The value of 'c' can be found using the formula c = √(a² - b²).

F) The length of the major axis is given by 2a, and the length of the minor axis is given by 2b.

a) To determine the coordinates of the ellipses, we need to rewrite the given equations in their standard form:

1) 4x² + 5y² - 24x² - 20y + 36 = 0

Rearranging the terms, we have:

-20y + 5y² + 4x² - 24x² = -36

5y² - 20y + 4x² - 24x² = -36

5y² - 20y + 4(x² - 6x²) = -36

5y² - 20y + 4(x² - 6x + 9) = -36 + 36

5y² - 20y + 4(x - 3)² = 0

Dividing by 4, we get:

(y²/4) - (5y/4) + (x - 3)² = 1

Comparing this equation with the standard form of an ellipse, we have:

(y - k)²/a² + (x - h)²/b² = 1

In this case, the coordinates of the center of the ellipse are (h, k) = (3, 5/2).

2) 2x² - 5y² + 8x + 10y + 13 = 0

Rearranging the terms, we have:

-5y² + 10y + 2x² + 8x = -13

-5(y² - 2y) + 2(x² + 4x) = -13

-5(y² - 2y + 1) + 2(x² + 4x + 4) = -13 - 5 + 8

-5(y - 1)² + 2(x + 2)² = 0

Dividing by -5, we get:

(y - 1)²/0² + (x + 2)²/(-5/2)² = 1

Comparing this equation with the standard form of an ellipse, we have:

(y - k)²/a² + (x - h)²/b² = 1

In this case, the coordinates of the center of the ellipse are (h, k) = (-2, 1).

b) The area of an ellipse can be calculated using the formula: Area = π * a * b, where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the major and minor axes, respectively. From the standard form equations, we can determine the lengths of the major and minor axes as follows:

1) For the ellipse with equation (y - 5/2)²/4 + (x - 3)²/b² = 1:

The length of the major axis is 2a, and the length of the minor axis is 2b. To find these values, we need to determine the value of 'b'.

Comparing the equation with the standard form, we have:

a² = 4

a = 2

Thus, the length of the major axis is 2a = 4, and the length of the minor axis is 2b = 2b.

2) For the ellipse with equation (y - 1)²/1² + (x + 2)²/(-5/2)² = 1:

Similarly, comparing the equation with the standard form, we have:

a² = 1

a = 1

Therefore, the length of the major axis is 2a = 2, and the

length of the minor axis is 2b = 2b.

c) The perimeter of an ellipse is given by the approximate formula: Perimeter ≈ 2π √((a² + b²)/2), where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the major and minor axes, respectively. Using the values of 'a' and 'b' obtained in part (b), we can calculate the perimeters of the ellipses.

d) The vertices of an ellipse are the points where the ellipse intersects the major axis. For the ellipse with equation (y - k)²/a² + (x - h)²/b² = 1, the vertices are located at (h ± a, k).

e) The foci of an ellipse are the points located inside the ellipse along the major axis. They are given by (h ± c, k), where 'c' is the distance from the center of the ellipse to the foci. The value of 'c' can be found using the formula c = √(a² - b²).

f) The length of the major axis is given by 2a, and the length of the minor axis is given by 2b. These lengths can be determined from the standard form equations obtained in part (a).

To obtain precise answers for parts (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f), we need the specific values of 'a' and 'b' for each ellipse. Please provide the coefficients and constants of the original equations so that we can calculate these values accurately.

The maximum value of the function is 4 and there is no minimum value.

To find the extreme values of the function f(x, y) = 2[tex]x^{2}[/tex]  + 6[tex]y^{2}[/tex] subject to the constraint [tex]x^{4[/tex] + 3[tex]y^{4}[/tex] = 1 using Lagrange multipliers, we set up the following system of equations:

∇f(x, y) = λ∇g(x, y)

g(x, y) = 0

where ∇f represents the gradient of f(x, y), ∇g represents the gradient of g(x, y), and λ is the Lagrange multiplier.

Let's calculate the gradients:

∇f(x, y) = (4x, 12y)

∇g(x, y) = (4[tex]x^{3}[/tex], 12[tex]y^{3}[/tex])

Setting up the equations:

(4x, 12y) = λ(4[tex]x^{3}[/tex], 12[tex]y^{3}[/tex])

[tex]x^{4[/tex] + 3[tex]y^{4}[/tex] = 1

Now we solve the first equation for λ:

4x = λ * 4[tex]x^{3}[/tex]

12y = λ * 12[tex]y^{3}[/tex]

Simplifying, we have:

1 = λ[tex]x^{2}[/tex]

1 = λ[tex]y^{2}[/tex]

We can see that λ cannot be zero, otherwise, x and y would be zero, which is not a solution to the given constraint. Therefore, we can divide both equations by λ:

[tex]x^{2}[/tex]  = 1/λ

[tex]y^{2}[/tex] = 1/λ

Substituting these equations back into the constraint, we get:

(1/λ[tex])^{2}[/tex] + 3(1/λ)[tex])^{2}[/tex] = 1

(1 + 3) / (λ[tex])^{2}[/tex] = 1

4 / (λ[tex])^{2}[/tex] = 1

(λ[tex])^{2}[/tex] = 4

λ = ±2

Now, let's consider the two cases:

Case 1: λ = 2

From the equations [tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 1/λ and [tex]y^{2}[/tex] = 1/λ, we get:

[tex]x^{2}[/tex]  = 1/2

[tex]y^{2}[/tex] = 1/2

x = ±1/[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

y = ±1/[tex]\sqrt{2[/tex]

Case 2: λ = -2

From the equations [tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 1/λ and [tex]y^{2}[/tex] = 1/λ, we get:

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = -1/2 (not a valid solution since [tex]x^{2}[/tex] cannot be negative)

[tex]y^{2}[/tex] = -1/2 (not a valid solution since [tex]y^{2}[/tex] cannot be negative)

Therefore, the only valid solutions are obtained in Case 1. Now, let's calculate the extreme values by substituting the valid solutions into the function f(x, y):

f(x, y) = 2[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 6[tex]y^{2}[/tex]

Substituting x = ±1/[tex]\sqrt{2[/tex]and y = ±1/[tex]\sqrt{2[/tex]:

f(x, y) = 2(1/2) + 6(1/2) = 1 + 3 = 4

So, the maximum value of f(x, y) subject to the given constraint is 4, and there is no minimum value.

Maximum value = 4

Minimum value = N/A

Correct Question :

This extreme value problem has a solution with both a maximum value and a minimum value. Use Lagrange multipliers to find the extreme values of the function subject to the given constraint.

f(x,y) = f(x,y)=2[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 6[tex]y^{2}[/tex] , [tex]x^{4}[/tex] +3[tex]y^{4}[/tex] =1

The solution to this function is $ \frac{1}{5}\cdot e^{3t} + \frac{2}{5}\cdot e^{-2t}$.

The function is:

$L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{\mathrm{s}-\mathrm{a}}\right\}=e^{\mathrm{at}}$

Formula used:

$\mathscr{L}\{e^{at}\} = \frac{1}{s-a}$

Calculation:

We can write this function as:

$\frac{s}{(s+2)(s-3)} = \frac{A}{s-3} + \frac{B}{s+2}$

Multiplying both sides with $(s+2)(s-3)$, we get:

$s = A(s+2) + B(s-3)$

Put $s=-2$ to get value of A:

$-2 = A(-2+2) + B(-2-3) \implies A = \frac{1}{5}$

Put $s=3$ to get value of B:

$3 = A(3+2) + B(3-3) \implies B = \frac{2}{5}$

So, the function can be written as:

$\frac{s}{(s+2)(s-3)} = \frac{1}{5}\left(\frac{1}{s-3}\right) + \frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{1}{s+2}\right)$

We know that:

$\mathscr{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-a}\right\}= e^{at}$

Therefore,

$\mathscr{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{s}{(s+2)(s-3)}\right\} = \frac{1}{5}\mathscr{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\} + \frac{2}{5}\mathscr{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s+2}\right\}$

$= \frac{1}{5}\cdot e^{3t} + \frac{2}{5}\cdot e^{-2t}$
