No sorry mrs_z that price was for regular gas, the premium gas is about $7 per gallon, but as

Okay, Upon reading the other two answers to this problem, I see about 8001 issues with my own solution. That being said, i really shouldn’t be trying to do math at 2 in the morning…

I call fail on myself.

Well, the only way a^2+b^2+c^2 can =1 is if one of the variables IS 1 and the other two are 0. That being the said:
4(1+0+0)=4*1=4
Square root of 32=5.656854249492381…
9(1*0*0)=9*0=0
4 IS =< 5.656854249492381 (+0)

Done.

No because it was a deliberate advertising gimmick so they didn’t change it till some old biddy got it (the joke, not the worms in the rear) and complained bitterly.

Sorry, SneakyNinja, I did not see your comment at the time I made mine. Looking on it, you completely disregard the possibility of non-integer squares, like a^2 = 1/3. Thus, you make the presumption that 9abc will be 0 and 4(a+b+c) will be 4, which while ideally is true, is not exclusively the only possible combinations of A B and C.

By: Extramrdo

Extramrdo — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:33:35 +0000

Assuming this is in the realm of real numbers only, then x^2 is ALWAYS >= 0. Since a^2, b^2, nor c^2 can be negative, they must all be <= 1, summing up to 1. Ideally, each A B and C would be sqrt(1/3), so that a^2 , b^2, and c^2 would each be 1/3, adding up evenly, but any multitude of combinations of square roots of numbers less than one could satisfy the initial conditions.

Since A, B, and C must each be 5, around 5.65ish.
The maximum ABC can be occurs when a, b, and c are all sqrt(1/3), around 0.577. (.577)(.577)(.577), which is the max ABC, is about 0.19. A B and C themselves can be negative, bringing ABC to a maximum at +- 0.19. Assuming the worst, 9(-0.19) is -1.73. 5.65 – 1.73 is indeed less than 4; however, the values for A B and C to bring 4(a+b+c) to 4 are different than the values needed to bring 9abc to it’s minimum, thus 4(a+b+c) will ALWAYS be =< sqrt(32)+9abc, when a^2+b^2+c^2=1.
