The arithmetic-geometric mean (AM-GM) inequality: if a,b ≥ 0, then [tex]\frac{a+b}{2} \geq \sqrt{ab}[/tex]. (1)

(a) Let a, b, c, d ≥ 0 and consider the positive real numbers [tex]\sqrt{ab} [/tex] and [tex]\sqrt{cd} [/tex]. Use (1) to prove the four-variable AM-GM inequality:

[tex]\frac{a+b+c+d}{4} \geq \sqrt[4]{abcd}[/tex]. (2)

(b) Let a, b, c ≥ 0 and define [tex]m= \frac{a+b+c}{3}[/tex].

(i) Show that [tex]m=\frac{a+b+c+m}{4}[/tex].

(ii) Hence use (2) to prove the three-variable AM-GM inequality:

[tex]\frac{a+b+c}{3} \geq \sqrt[3]{abc}[/tex].

Answers

Answer 1

(a) The inequality follows from the binomial theorem.

[tex](a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2 \ge 0 \implies a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a+b)^2 \ge 4ab \\\\ \implies \dfrac{(a+b)^2}4 \ge ab \\\\ \implies \dfrac{a+b}2 \ge \sqrt{ab} ~~~~~~~~ (1)[/tex]

By the same reasoning,

[tex]\dfrac{c+d}2 \ge \sqrt{cd}[/tex]

Adding these results together, we have

[tex]\dfrac{a+b}2 + \dfrac{c+d}2 = \dfrac{a+b+c+d}2 \ge \sqrt{ab} + \sqrt{cd}[/tex]

and since [tex]\sqrt{ab}[/tex] and [tex]\sqrt{cd}[/tex] are both positive, they also satisfy the AM-GM inequality,

[tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{ab} + \sqrt{cd}}2 \ge \sqrt{\sqrt{ab}\times\sqrt{cd}} = \sqrt[4]{abcd}[/tex]

and the 4-variable result follows,

[tex]\dfrac{a+b+c+d}2 \ge 2\times\dfrac{\sqrt{ab}+\sqrt{cd}}2 \ge 2 \sqrt[4]{abcd} \\\\ \implies \dfrac{a+b+c+d}4 \ge \sqrt[4]{abcd} ~~~~~~~~ (2)[/tex]

(b.i) With [tex]m=\frac{a+b+c}3[/tex], we have

[tex]\dfrac{3m}4 = \dfrac{a+b+c}4 \implies m - \dfrac m4 = \dfrac{a+b+c}4 \\\\ \implies m = \dfrac{a+b+c+m}4[/tex]

(b.ii) From (2) it follows that

[tex]\dfrac{a+b+c+m}4 \ge \sqrt[4]{abcm} = \sqrt[4]{abc\times\dfrac{a+b+c+m}4}[/tex]

Using the result from (b.i), this is equivalent to

[tex]\dfrac{a+b+c}3 \ge \sqrt[4]{abc\times\dfrac{a+b+c}3}[/tex]

Take 4th powers on both sides.

[tex]\left(\dfrac{a+b+c}3\right)^4 \ge abc \times \dfrac{a+b+c}3[/tex]

Divide both sides by [tex]\frac{a+b+c}3[/tex].

[tex]\left(\dfrac{a+b+c}3\right)^3 \ge abc[/tex]

Finally, take the cube root of both sides.

[tex]\dfrac{a+b+c}3 \ge \sqrt[3]{abc}[/tex]

as required.

The equation that represents the given problem is (n-30) + n = 210. The correct option is the first option (n-30) + n = 210

Linear equation

From the question, we are to write an equation for the given problem

From the given information,

n = Tom's weight in pounds

If Jim weighs 30 pounds less than Tom

Then,

Jim weighs (n - 30)

Thus,

The sum of their weight is

(n-30) + n

(n-30) + n = 210

Hence, the equation that represents the given problem is (n-30) + n = 210. The correct option is the first option (n-30) + n = 210

Answers

The amount of paper that are needed to line the bottom of 3 drawers with paper is equal to 2,160 square inches.

How to determine the amount of paper?

First of all, we would calculate the area of the bottom of each drawer as follows:

Area = length × width

Area = 36 × 20

Area = 720 square inches.

Next, we would multiply this area by 3:

Total area = 720 × 3

Total area = 2,160 square inches.

A parallelogram has sides measuring 200mm by 150mm. what would be the length of side of a square having the same perimeter?​

Answers

Answer:

175mm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total perimeter of the parallelogram we must add 200+200+150+150

This equals 700. Then, since squares have side lengths that are all equal, we have to divide by 4.

700 / 4 = 175

So, the length of a side of a square having this perimeter would be 175mm

In a bag of 60 candies, 36 are green and 45 have caramel in them. If the events of
picking a green candy and picking a candy with caramel are independent, what
percent of the green candies have caramel in them?

Answers

Answer:

9/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of candies =60

Number of Green candies, n(G)=36

Number of candies with caramel, n(C)=45

Since the events are independent, the probability of selecting two candies where the first is green and the second has caramel is given by:

P(GC)=P(G) X P(C)

\begin{gathered}=\dfrac{n(G)}{n(S)} X \dfrac{n(C)}{n(S)} \\=\dfrac{36}{60} X \dfrac{45}{60}\\ =\dfrac{9}{20}\end{gathered}=n(S)n(G)Xn(S)n(C)=6036X6045=209

The probability in its lowest form is 9/20.

That leaves us with the zero-case. For [tex]x\neq1[/tex], the denominator is always positive, so the numerator must be zero. But this never happens, since

The measure of angle A is 144.3 degrees and the angle to cut the molding is 54.3 degrees

How to solve for angle A?

Start by solving the acute part of angle A using the following sine function

sin(Ax) = (30 - 4)/32

Evaluate the quotient

sin(Ax) = 0.8125

Take the arc sin of both sides

Ax = 54.3

The measure of angle A is then calculated as:

A = 90 + Ax

This gives

A = 90 + 54.3

Evaluate

A = 144.3

Hence, the measure of angle A is 144.3 degrees

The angle to cut the molding

In (a), we have:

Ax = 54.3

This represents the angle where the molding would be cut

The sum of three numbers is 12. If the second number is subtracted from the sum of the first and third numbers, the result is 2. If the third number is subtracted from the sum of the first and second numbers, the result is 4. Find the three numbers.

Answers

Answer:

  the numbers are 3, 5, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations can be written as a system of equations. These are conveniently solved using elimination.

Setup

Let the three numbers be represented by x, y, z. The given relations are ...

  x +y +z = 12

  x -y +z = 2

  x +y -z = 4

Solution

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (x +y +z) -(x -y +z) = (12) -(2)

  2y = 10 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Subtracting the third equation from the first gives ...

  (x +y +z) -(x +y -z) = (12) -(4)

  2z = 8 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  z = 4 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Using these values of y and z in the first equation lets us find x:

  x +5 +4 = 12

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . subtract 9

The numbers, in order, are (3, 5, 4).
