jackpot: The number too is 10x+y

the problem is
Maximize F(x,y)=xy
subject to x+y=12
0<=x,y<10.

You may use the Lagrange multiplier method to solve.

carefully solving it yields x=6, y=6.

Thus, the number is 66.
correct....ur workin plz...

rhydex 247: 1. Show that V=IR^2 is not a vector space over IR with respect to operation (a,b)+(c,d)=(a+c,b+d) and k(a,b)=(ka,kb).

2. Show that the vectors u=(1,2,3), v=(0,1,2) and w=(0,0,1) span R^3.
Hmmm. All is well.
let u, v and w be elements of S, the span of R^3, then there exist x, y and z € R such that
xU+yV+zW=Q, for some Q€S, so
Q=x(1,2,3)+y(0,1,2)+z(0,0,1)=
(x, 2x+y, 3x+2y+x) hence S is contained in R^3. Now suppose
u, v and w are in R^3, then we show that there exist x, y and z for every vector
(p, q, r) for which u, v and w combine linearly...let
xU+yV+zW=(p,q,r) then
x(1,2,3)+y(0,1,2)+z(0,0,1)=(p,q,r) or
(x, 2x+y, 3x+2y+z)=(p,q,r) so that
x=p
2x+y=q
3x+2y+z=r, hence for any choosen vector (p,q,r) we can find x=p,
y=q-2p and z=r+p-2q for which the vectors u, v and w are combined linearly, so R^3 is contained in S...hence
SpanR^3=(u,v,w)....all is well

...pls Maths Generals i'm so curious 2 knw d relation connectn d derivative Ux and inverse derivative Xu of a PDE...help pls!!!!!!
EducationRe: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Laplacian(m): 6:53pm On Oct 20, 2013
jackpot: lol, I bet you that solving for Ux, Vx and Qx simultaneously from what you posted earlier will take more than a page.

Next, you will still apply your same approach to obtain Uy, Vy and Qy and it will take up to the same number of pages.

Next, you still do same for Uz, Vz and Qz. This will equally take its own page.

At least, 3 pages don go oooooo cheesy

And that is just for first partial derivatives ooo.

We neva consider how much pages the second partial derivatives (Uxx, Vxx, Qxx, Uyy, Vyy, Qyy, Uzz, Vzz, Qzz) will take. For each, you will apply quotient rule which takes, at least, 4 lines for each.

You will still obtain chain rules formula for Fxx, Fyy and Fzz.

Then, add and come simplify.(at this point, you will basically do the same thing I did, same fixed step. My own addition and simplification is 3 pages.) wink

All that in 4 pages! Bro, come on! Small salt dey am cheesy grin

Description?
I obtained Ux, Uxx, Vx, Vxx, Qx, Qxx, Uy, Uyy, Vy, Vyy, Qy, Qyy, Uz, Uzz, Vz, Vzz, Qz, Qzz.

Next, I obtained the expressions for Fxx, Fyy and Fzz which I added and simplified. Later, I equated everything to zero.
there's one more score 2 settle

jackpot: @Laplacian

am happy. Post the solution, please.
first i need to point out 2 u dat in PDE one can take d differental of an eqn b4 proceedin 2 d limt witout fear of error...it is rigorous & not an assumption...wit our former notation; now x=uvsinq, y=uvcosq, z=0.5(u^2-v^2), like b4,
Fx=Fu*Ux+Fv*Vx+Fq*Qx...to get Ux, Vx, and Qx we take d differential of d transformation equations; first we take Log of x=uvsinq,
Logx=logu+logv+logsinq, let d denot delta, so dat
1/x*dx=1/u*du+1/v*dv+1/sinq*cosq*dq, divide thru by dx and proceed 2 d limt;
1/x=1/u*Ux+1/v*Vx+cotq*Qx, similarly for y=uvcosq,
logy=logu+logv+logcosq,
1/y*dy=1/u*du+1/v*dv-1/cosq*sinq*dq, divide thru by dx but this time partial derivativ of y w.r.t.x is zero since x and y are independent variables;
0=1/u*Ux+1/v*Vx-tanq*Qx...again for z=0.5(u^2-v^2),
dz=udu-vdv, dividin by dx;
0=uUx-vVx...from d 3 eqns above solve 4 Ux, Vx and Qx...in d eqns above, divide, respectively, by dy and dz to obtain Uy, Vy, Qy and Uz, Vz, Qz...substitute and differentiat Fx,Fy,Fz respectively...u 'll obtain ur answer as i 've done here after simplification...

f"(x)=-2tanhx*(cosechx)^-2 so that f"(0)=0
f"'(x)=-2tanhx*f"(x)-2[f'(x)]^2...so that f"'(0)=-2 and so on, substitutn now gives;

d citizen:
The five star general,

Here is the clue to the analytical solution to the problem: 3^x + 4^x = 5^x

Divide both side of the equation by 4^x

3^x/4^x + 4^x/4^x = 5^x/4^x

0.75^x + 1 = 1.25^x

(1-0.25)^x + 1 = (1 + 0.25)^x

(1 + (-0.25))^x + 1 = (1 +0.25)^x
U will use binomial theorem to do the expansion and limit the expansion to x^2

(1 +x)^n = 1+ nx + n(n-1)x^2/2!. Use the expansion to get the answer to x by quadratic equation.
why limit it to second order?...why not third or fourth order because in those cases u have differnt results
