If xx and yy are real numbers that satisfy the inequalities 32x9|3 - 2x| \le 9 and 4y+313|4y + 3| \le 13, what is the maximum possible value of the expression 3x4y|3x - 4y|?

Cevap: 34

Cevap

The maximum possible value of 3x4y|3x - 4y| is 3434.
To find the maximum possible value of 3x4y|3x - 4y|, we first solve for the ranges of xx and yy from their respective absolute value inequalities. From 32x9|3 - 2x| \le 9, we get 932x9    3x6-9 \le 3 - 2x \le 9 \implies -3 \le x \le 6. From 4y+313|4y + 3| \le 13, we get 134y+313    4y2.5-13 \le 4y + 3 \le 13 \implies -4 \le y \le 2.5. To maximize 3x4y3x - 4y, we take the maximum value of 3x3x (3×6=183 \times 6 = 18) and the maximum value of 4y-4y (4×4=16-4 \times -4 = 16), giving 18+16=3418 + 16 = 34. To minimize 3x4y3x - 4y, we take the minimum value of 3x3x (3×3=93 \times -3 = -9) and the minimum value of 4y-4y (4×2.5=10-4 \times 2.5 = -10), giving 910=19-9 - 10 = -19. The expression 3x4y3x - 4y ranges from 19-19 to 3434, so the maximum possible magnitude 3x4y|3x - 4y| is max(19,34)=34\max(|-19|, |34|) = 34.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Solve the inequality 32x9|3 - 2x| \le 9 for xx.
3x6-3 \le x \le 6
Unpacking the absolute value yields 932x9-9 \le 3 - 2x \le 9. Subtracting 33 gives 122x6-12 \le -2x \le 6. Dividing by 2-2 and reversing the inequality signs produces 3x6-3 \le x \le 6.
2
Solve the inequality 4y+313|4y + 3| \le 13 for yy.
4y2.5-4 \le y \le 2.5
Unpacking the absolute value yields 134y+313-13 \le 4y + 3 \le 13. Subtracting 33 gives 164y10-16 \le 4y \le 10. Dividing by 44 gives 4y2.5-4 \le y \le 2.5.
3
Find the range of possible values for 3x3x and 4y-4y.
93x18-9 \le 3x \le 18 and 104y16-10 \le -4y \le 16
Multiplying 3x6-3 \le x \le 6 by 33 gives 93x18-9 \le 3x \le 18. Multiplying 4y2.5-4 \le y \le 2.5 by 4-4 and flipping the signs gives 104y16-10 \le -4y \le 16.
4
Combine the bounds for 3x3x and 4y-4y to find the range for 3x4y3x - 4y.
193x4y34-19 \le 3x - 4y \le 34
The minimum value of 3x4y3x - 4y is (9)+(10)=19(-9) + (-10) = -19. The maximum value of 3x4y3x - 4y is 18+16=3418 + 16 = 34.
5
Determine the maximum absolute value 3x4y|3x - 4y| over the interval [19,34][-19, 34].
34
The absolute value of any number in the interval [19,34][-19, 34] ranges from 00 to max(19,34)=34\max(|-19|, |34|) = 34.
