Suppose

x

and

y

are real numbers and that

x^2+9 y^2-4 x+6 y+4=0

, then the maximum value of

(4 x-9 y)

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Option C (16) is correct because after completing the square and converting the equation to the standard form of an ellipse, the maximum value of 4x - 9y is found to be 16.
