Answer:

100.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If each course has 3/8 inch of concrete below it (including the bottom one)

8 in * 12 + 3/8 in * 12 = 100 1/2 inches

$a = \tfrac{v}{t}$

$a = \tfrac{60km/hr}{5s}$

$a = \boxed{12 km/hr/s }$

Answer:

following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

In point a:

$\vec{v} = -\vec{1 i} +\vec{1j}\\\\|\vec{v}| = \sqrt{-1^2+1^2}$

$=\sqrt{1+1}\\\\=\sqrt{2}$

calculating unit vector:

$\frac{\vec{v}}{|\vec{v}|} = \frac{-1i+1j}{\sqrt{2}}$

the point Q is at a distance h from P(6,6) Here, h=0.1

$a=-6+O.1 \times \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\= 5.92928 \\\\b= 6+O.1 \times \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}} \\\\= 6.07071$

the value of Q= (5.92928 ,6.07071 )

In point b:

Calculating the directional derivative of $f (x, y) = \sqrt{x+3y}$ at P in the direction of $\vec{v}$

$f_{PQ} (P) =\fracx{f(Q)-f(P)}{h}\\\\$

$=\frac{f(5.92928 ,6.07071)-f(6,6)}{0.1}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt{(5.92928+ 3 \times 6.07071)}-\sqrt{(6+ 3\times 6)}}{0.1}\\\\= \frac{0.197651557}{0.1}\\\\= 1.97651557$

$\vec{v} = 1.97651557$

In point C:

Computing the directional derivative using the partial derivatives of f.

$f_x(x,y)= \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x+3y}}\\\\ f_x (6,6)= \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{22}}\\\\f_x(x,y)= \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+3y}}\\\\ f_x (6,6)= \frac{1}{\sqrt{22}}\\\\f_{(PQ)}(P)= (f_x \vec{i} + f_y \vec{j}) \cdot \frac{\vec{v}}{|\vec{v}|}\\\\= (\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{22}}\vec{i} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{22}} \vec{j}) \cdot \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\vec{i} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \vec{j}$
