Find the point on the plane 2x+5y+z=8 that is nearest to (2,0,1).

(2.2, 0.5, 1.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The parametric equation of the line normal to the plane and through point (2, 0, 1) can be written ...

... L = (2, 0, 1) + t(2, 5, 1)

We want to find the value of t (and the corresponding point) that makes L satisfy the equation of the plane.

... 2(2+2t) +5(0 +5t) +1(1+t) = 8 . . . . . put values from L in for x, y, z in plane

... 5 + 30t = 8 . . . . . simplify

... t = (8 -5)/30 = 0.1 . . . . solve for t (subtract 5, divide by 30)

For this value of t, L is ...

... (2, 0, 1) + 0.1(2, 5, 1) = (2.2, 0.5, 1.1)

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300
