- Find the minimum value of f(x,y)=x^2+y^2 subject to the constraint 6x+4y=18 using the method of Lagrange multipliers and evaluate λ. minimum f = ? λ = ?arrow_forwardA manufacturer has determined that the total cost C of operating a factory is C = 1.5x2 + 45x + 15000, where x is the number of units produced. At what level of production will the average cost per unit be minimized? (The average cost per unit is C/x.) x=? unitsarrow_forwardA closed rectangular box is made withtwo kinds of materials. The top and bottom are made withheavy-duty cardboard costing 20¢ per square foot, and thesides are made with lightweight cardboard costing 10¢ persquare foot. Given that the box is to have a capacity of2 cubic feet, what should its dimensions be if the cost is tobe minimized?arrow_forward
- Use Lagrange multipliers to find the indicated extrema, assuming that x and y are positive. Minimize f(x, y) = 3x + y + 10 Constraint: x2y = 6arrow_forward3. If you want to design a pop can to hold 350 cm3 of pop using the least amount of metal to make the can, what would you use for f and g in the Lagrange Multiplier Method?arrow_forwardA company needs to manufacture cylindrical cans out of tin, each of which must have both a bottom and a top and a volume of 382cm^3. 1. How should the company design the cans (i.e. what are the dimensions of the cans) if they want to minimize the cost of constructing them? 2. According to Google, most soup cans have a volume of 382cm3 with dimensions r = 3.25cm and h = 11.51cm. Does this agree with your answer to (a)? If not, give at least one reason why your answer to (a) may not be the best in the “real world”.arrow_forward
- Which delays should he specially handle to minimize?arrow_forwardFind, if they exist, the extrema of the function: f(x, y) = 3x^2 + 3y^2 + 1, subject to the constraint x + 2y = 1, by using the Lagrange’s multipliers method.arrow_forwardAt noon, ship A is 45 miles south of Ship B. Ship A is sailing north at a rate of 15 miles per hour. Ship B is sailing west at a rate of 15 miles per hour. When is the distance between the two ships minimized? In the field below enter the time at which the distance between the ships is minimal.arrow_forward
