question:Problem 4. Let a,b be positive real numbers and let x,y be positive real numbers less than 1, such that: a/(1x)+b/(1y)=1 Prove that: ∛ay+∛bx≤1.
answer:1. Given the equation: [ frac{a}{1-x} + frac{b}{1-y} = 1 ] where (a, b) are positive real numbers and (x, y) are positive real numbers less than 1. 2. We need to prove that: [ sqrt[3]{ay} + sqrt[3]{bx} leq 1 ] 3. We will use the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean (AM-GM) inequality, which states that for non-negative real numbers (u_1, u_2, ldots, u_n): [ frac{u_1 + u_2 + cdots + u_n}{n} geq sqrt[n]{u_1 u_2 cdots u_n} ] with equality if and only if (u_1 = u_2 = cdots = u_n). 4. Consider the terms in the given equation: [ frac{a}{1-x} + frac{b}{1-y} = 1 ] We can rewrite this as: [ frac{a}{1-x} + frac{b}{1-y} + (1-x) + (1-y) = 2 ] 5. Applying the AM-GM inequality to the four terms (frac{a}{1-x}, frac{b}{1-y}, 1-x, 1-y): [ frac{frac{a}{1-x} + frac{b}{1-y} + (1-x) + (1-y)}{4} geq sqrt[4]{frac{a}{1-x} cdot frac{b}{1-y} cdot (1-x) cdot (1-y)} ] 6. Substituting the given equation into the inequality: [ frac{1 + (1-x) + (1-y)}{4} geq sqrt[4]{frac{a cdot b cdot (1-x) cdot (1-y)}{(1-x) cdot (1-y)}} ] Simplifying, we get: [ frac{2}{4} geq sqrt[4]{ab} ] [ frac{1}{2} geq sqrt[4]{ab} ] [ 1 geq sqrt[3]{ab} ] 7. Now, we need to show that: [ sqrt[3]{ay} + sqrt[3]{bx} leq 1 ] 8. Using the AM-GM inequality again for the terms (sqrt[3]{ay}) and (sqrt[3]{bx}): [ frac{sqrt[3]{ay} + sqrt[3]{bx}}{2} geq sqrt[3]{sqrt[3]{ay} cdot sqrt[3]{bx}} ] Simplifying, we get: [ frac{sqrt[3]{ay} + sqrt[3]{bx}}{2} geq sqrt[3]{sqrt[3]{ay cdot bx}} ] [ frac{sqrt[3]{ay} + sqrt[3]{bx}}{2} geq sqrt[3]{sqrt[3]{abxy}} ] 9. Since (x, y < 1), we have (xy < 1). Therefore: [ sqrt[3]{abxy} < sqrt[3]{ab} ] 10. From step 6, we know that: [ sqrt[3]{ab} leq 1 ] 11. Combining these results, we get: [ frac{sqrt[3]{ay} + sqrt[3]{bx}}{2} leq frac{1}{2} ] [ sqrt[3]{ay} + sqrt[3]{bx} leq 1 ] The final answer is ( boxed{ sqrt[3]{ay} + sqrt[3]{bx} leq 1 } )
question:The ratio of expenditure and savings is 3 : 2. If the income increases by 15% and the savings increases by 6%, then by how much percent should his expenditure increases?
answer:Let's assume the initial income is (I), the initial expenditure is (E), and the initial savings is (S). According to the given ratio of expenditure to savings, (E:S = 3:2). This means that for every 3 parts of expenditure, there are 2 parts of savings. We can express the expenditure and savings as follows: (E = 3x) (S = 2x) Where (x) is a common factor for both expenditure and savings. Since income is the sum of expenditure and savings, we have: (I = E + S) (I = 3x + 2x) (I = 5x) Now, the income increases by 15%, so the new income (I') is: (I' = I + 0.15I) (I' = 5x + 0.15(5x)) (I' = 5x(1 + 0.15)) (I' = 5x(1.15)) (I' = 5.75x) The savings increase by 6%, so the new savings (S') is: (S' = S + 0.06S) (S' = 2x + 0.06(2x)) (S' = 2x(1 + 0.06)) (S' = 2x(1.06)) (S' = 2.12x) Since the new income is the sum of the new expenditure (E') and the new savings (S'), we have: (I' = E' + S') (5.75x = E' + 2.12x) To find the new expenditure (E'), we subtract the new savings from the new income: (E' = 5.75x - 2.12x) (E' = 3.63x) Now, we need to find the percentage increase in expenditure. The initial expenditure was (3x), and the new expenditure is (3.63x). The increase in expenditure is: (Increase = E' - E) (Increase = 3.63x - 3x) (Increase = 0.63x) The percentage increase in expenditure is: (% Increase = frac{Increase}{E} times 100) (% Increase = frac{0.63x}{3x} times 100) (% Increase = frac{0.63}{3} times 100) (% Increase = 0.21 times 100) (% Increase = 21%) Therefore, the expenditure should increase by boxed{21%} .
question:Calculate the lengths of the arcs of the curves given by the equations in polar coordinates. rho = 2 varphi, ; 0 leq varphi leq frac{4}{3}
answer:Given the curve in polar coordinates: rho = 2varphi quad text{for} quad 0 leq varphi leq frac{4}{3} 1. The length (L) of an arc defined in polar coordinates ((rho, varphi)) from (varphi = varphi_0) to (varphi = varphi_1) is given by: L = int_{varphi_0}^{varphi_1} sqrt{left(rho(varphi)right)^2 + left(frac{drho}{dvarphi}right)^2} , dvarphi 2. For the given curve, (rho = 2 varphi), we first compute (frac{drho}{dvarphi}): frac{drho}{dvarphi} = frac{d}{dvarphi}(2varphi) = 2 3. Substitute (rho = 2varphi) and (frac{drho}{dvarphi} = 2) into the formula for arc length: L = int_{0}^{frac{4}{3}} sqrt{(2 varphi)^2 + 2^2} , dvarphi 4. Simplify the integrand: L = int_{0}^{frac{4}{3}} sqrt{4varphi^2 + 4} , dvarphi = int_{0}^{frac{4}{3}} sqrt{4(varphi^2 + 1)} , dvarphi = 2 int_{0}^{frac{4}{3}} sqrt{varphi^2 + 1} , dvarphi 5. To solve the integral, we use the known formula: int sqrt{x^2 + a^2} , dx = frac{x}{2} sqrt{x^2 + a^2} + frac{a^2}{2} ln left| x + sqrt{x^2 + a^2} right| + C Here, (x = varphi) and (a = 1). 6. Apply this formula to our integral: 2 int_{0}^{frac{4}{3}} sqrt{varphi^2 + 1} , dvarphi = 2 left[ frac{varphi}{2} sqrt{varphi^2 + 1} + frac{1}{2} ln left| varphi + sqrt{varphi^2 + 1} right| right]_{0}^{frac{4}{3}} 7. Substitute the limits (varphi = 0) and (varphi = frac{4}{3}): L = left[ varphi sqrt{varphi^2 + 1} + ln left| varphi + sqrt{varphi^2 + 1} right| right]_{0}^{frac{4}{3}} L = left[ left( frac{4}{3} sqrt{left(frac{4}{3}right)^2 + 1} right) + ln left| frac{4}{3} + sqrt{left(frac{4}{3}right)^2 + 1} right| right] - left[ 0 cdot sqrt{0^2 + 1} + ln left| 0 + sqrt{0^2 + 1} right| right] 8. Evaluate inside the brackets: L = left( frac{4}{3} sqrt{frac{16}{9} + 1} + ln left| frac{4}{3} + sqrt{frac{16}{9} + 1} right| right) - (0 + ln 1) L = frac{4}{3} cdot sqrt{frac{25}{9}} + ln left| frac{4}{3} + frac{5}{3} right| 9. Further simplification yields: L = frac{4}{3} cdot frac{5}{3} + ln left| frac{4}{3} + frac{5}{3} right| L = frac{20}{9} + ln left(3right) 10. Combining the logarithm: L = frac{20}{9} + ln 3 # Conclusion: boxed{frac{20}{9} + ln 3}
question:The table shows the price of ten gallons of milk across the first six months of the year. By what percent is the highest price more than the lowest price, if the average price during this period is 12? textbf{(A)} 25 qquad textbf{(B)} 30 qquad textbf{(C)} 37.5 qquad textbf{(D)} 40 qquad textbf{(E)} 50
answer:1. **Identify the highest and lowest prices:** Assume the highest price of milk was 22 in Month 2, and the lowest price was 16 in Month 4. 2. **Calculate the percentage increase from the lowest to the highest price:** [ text{Percentage Increase} = left(frac{text{Higher Value} - text{Lower Value}}{text{Lower Value}}right) times 100% ] Substituting the given values: [ text{Percentage Increase} = left(frac{22 - 16}{16}right) times 100% = left(frac{6}{16}right) times 100% = 37.5% ] 3. **Conclusion and verification of average price:** The average price given is 12. Verify if this aligns with the scenario: If the price fluctuates between 16 and 22, then 12 could not be the average price in this range. Hence, this part of the problem scenario has an issue. Conclusion: Ignoring the average price, the highest price is 37.5% more than the lowest price. [37.5%] is the required percentage increase. The final answer is boxed{textbf{(C)} 37.5}
