Partitive Proportions A partitive proportion of proportion by parts, describes
a total amount being distributed into two or more
unequal parts.

Flowering and fronteres in the ratio of 1:4:5. How many acres are used for
each type?

METHOD 1
- Use an equation
1. Write an equation that relates the sum of the unequal parts to the whole.
(Let m - the number of acres in each part.)

Evergreen plus flowering plus fruit equals total acres

2. Then find the number of acres in each unequal part.

METHOD 2
- Use separate proportions for each part-to-whole relationship.

1. Find the sum of the parts given in the ratio - 14:5 1+ 4+ 5 =?

2. Write and solve separate proportions for each part-to-whole relationship.

Define variables for each. Let a evergreen trees. b = flowering trees, and C =fruit trees

FLOWERING
FRUIT

To find the extreme values of a function f(x. y) on a curve x-x(t), y y(t), treat f as a function of the single variable t and use the chain rule to find where df/dt is zero. in any other single-variable case, the extreme values of f are then found among the values at the critical points (points where df/dt is zero or fails to exist), and endpoints of the parameter domain. find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following function on the given curves. use the parametric equations x=2cos t, y 2 sin t functions: curves: i) the semicircle x4,y20 i) the quarter circle x2+y-4, x20, y20 b, g(x, y)=xy
