چکیده
Second solution: For any λ > 0, the map (x,y) 7→ (λx,λ−1y) preserves both areas and the hyperbola xy = 1. We may thus rescale the picture so that A,B are symmetric across the line y = x, with A above the line. As P moves from A to B, the area of APB increases until P passes through the point (1,1), then decreases. Consequently, P = (1,1) achieves the maximum area, and the desired equality is obvious by symmetry. Alternatively, since the hyperbola is convex, the maximum is uniquely achieved at the point where the tangent line is parallel to AB, and by symmetry that point is P.

متن کاملNonlinear Fuzzy Volterra Integro-differential Equation of N-th Order: Analytic Solution and Existence and Uniqueness of Solution
This paper focuses on the fuzzy Volterra integro-differential equation of nth order of the second-kind with nonlinear fuzzy kernel and initial values. The derived integral equations are solvable, the solutions of which are unique under certain conditions. The existence and uniqueness of the solutions are investigated in a theorem and an upper boundary is found for solutions. Comparison of the e...

Introduction: One of the most important threats for employees working in chemical industries is exposing to the chemical materials. Lack of precaution and control regulations during working with chemicals can have irreparable consequences. So, in order to achieve an effective control program, it is necessary to have an appropriate assessment of the procedures involving exposure to the chemica...
متن کاملPositive solutions of $n$th-order $m$-point boundary value problems
In this paper, by using four functionals fixed point theorem, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one positive solution of an $n$th-order $m$-point boundary value problem. As an application, we give an example to demonstrate our main result.
