OpenStudy (kenzy1525):

is there a question, or just the function?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

u need to find the domain ??

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

the asymptotes horizontal and vertical

OpenStudy (erak):

For the vertical asymptotes, set the denominator equal to 0, like so: (x^2-25) = 0 Then solve for the two x values.

OpenStudy (erak):

The horizontal asymptote is just 0, as the degree of x is lower in the numerator than the denominator.

OpenStudy (daniel.ohearn1):

Yes, Erak, is right. And the limit as x approaches zero can be found to zero by L'Hosp

OpenStudy (erak):

just post it and somebody will get to it

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

compare the graph of h(x)=(x-3)^2+3 to the graph of f(x)=x^2

OpenStudy (erak):

I assume that's just listing the transformations?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

yes

OpenStudy (erak):

So in h(x)=(x-3)^2+3, what do the "-3" and "+3" parts of the equation represent?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

down and up or postive and negative

OpenStudy (erak):

Okay for the "-3", when it's in the bracket with x, that represents a horizontal shift, so left to right. If you set that bracket to 0, what value of x do you get? x-3 = 0

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

so -3?

OpenStudy (erak):

well if you move the "-3" over to the right side, like so: x-3 = 0 x = 3 You see that it's actually positive 3, meaning it has a horizontal shift of 3 units right. Note how it's negative 3 in the bracket, but it's actually moving right.

OpenStudy (erak):

h(x)=(x-3)^2+3 <--- now for that 3 at the end of the equation That's your vertical shift, and there's nothing interesting about it. If it says +3, it literally means a vertical shift of 3 units upwards.

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

okay so its h(x) shifts 3 units down and 3 units up?

OpenStudy (erak):

3 units right, and 3 units up

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

ok can you help me on another one

OpenStudy (erak):

Go ahead

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

find the inimum value of c=4x-3y using the following constraints x>/0 y >/ 0 4x+2y</12 2y</x+2

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

i tried to do the line under the least and greater sign thats why i put the /

OpenStudy (erak):

c=4x-3y is your equation?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

yes

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

hello?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Start with a blank xy axis

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The fact that \(\Large x \ge 0\) and \(\Large y \ge 0\) means we're restricting ourselves to just the first quadrant. This shaded region in blue.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Do you agree with that statement @ashontae19 ?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Next we graph 4x+2y<=12. This means we graph the line 4x+2y=12 and then shade below the boundary line. The boundary line is solid. The graph is shown in red.

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

can you do the work all in one step please

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Because we're restricted to just the first quadrant, this means we can ignore the stuff in Q2,Q3,Q4 so we can shrink the red region down to this

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Now let's graph 2y<=x+2. You would graph 2y = x+2 to form the solid boundary line. Then you'd shade below the boundary line. Graph is shown in blue.

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

ok i got that thanks how would i plug into the objective function

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Notice how the red region and blue region overlap to form the purple region. The purple region in just Q1 looks like this.

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

yea so how would i plug into the objective function

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Focus on just the purple region. Erase the other colors if needed.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Then plot the points A,B,C,D as the corners of the purple region.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Are you able to determine the coordinates of A,B,C, and D?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

can you write the numbers my computer going slow i have answer choices 2 0 -3 -9

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where is point A located in terms of (x,y) coordinates?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

0,0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, so (x,y) = (0,0) meaning that x = 0 and y = 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

plug x = 0 and y = 0 into c=4x-3y

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if x = 0 and y = 0 then c = ??

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where is point B located in terms of (x,y) coordinates?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

3,1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

not (3,1) but you're close

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

try again

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

3,0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes if x = 3 and y = 0 then c = ??

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

is 0 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

c = 4x-3y c = 4*3-3*0 ... plug in (x,y) = (3,0) c = 12-0 c = 12

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You replace every x with 3. You replace every y with 0.

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

my answer choices are 2 0 -3 -9

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

so which one would it be

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where is point C located in terms of (x,y) coordinates?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

2,2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes if x = 2 and y = 2 then c = ??

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where is point D located in terms of (x,y) coordinates?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

0,1

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

ok so the answer is 2? the final answer???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if x = 0 and y = 1 then c = ??

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

1

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

so is the final answer 2???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So to recap we have these four points A = (0,0) B = (3,0) C = (2,2) D = (0,1) which are the boundary of the feasible region If we plug the coordinates of point A into the objective function, then we get c = 0 If we plug the coordinates of point B into the objective function, then we get c = 12 If we plug the coordinates of point C into the objective function, then we get c = 2 If we plug the coordinates of point D into the objective function, then we get c = -3 Which is the smallest value of c?

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

-3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes which happens at point D so if x = 0 and y = 1, then the min value is c = -3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so -3 is the final answer

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

ok thanxs lasr one find the maximum value of c=-2x+4y using the following constraints x≤2 x≥-1 y≤5 y≥-3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you'll follow the same steps as before. step 1) Plot each inequality on the same xy grid step 2) figure out where ALL four regions overlap. Mark the boundary and specifically mark the corner points of the boundary of this feasible region step 3) Plug each point into the objective function c=-2x+4y step 4) The point that produces the largest c value is going to lead you to the answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Give those steps a shot and tell me what you get. Tell me what the corner points are. Don't just tell me the final answer.

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

can you just work out the final answer real fast because im getting tired because i got to hurry up

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Sorry I can't

OpenStudy (ashontae19):

well do you know what the subject to would be

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm not sure what you mean?
