Suppose you are climbing a hill whose shape is given by the equation z = 1400 − 0.005x2 − 0.01y2, where x, y, and z are measured

in meters, and you are standing at a point with coordinates (100, 120, 1206). the positive x-axis points east and the positive y-axis points north. (a) if you walk due south, will you start to ascend or descend?

Answer: You start to ascend

Explanation:

Since you are walking due south and the positive y-axis points north, the y-coordinate decreases.

Let 

y' = y-coordinate after walking due south
z' = z-coordinate (or the height) after walking due south

So, the point where you stand after walking due south has a coordinate of (100, y', z'). Moreover,

z' = 1,400 - 0.05(100)^2 - 0.01(y')^2
\\ \boxed{z' = 1350 - 0.01(y')^2}

Since the y-coordinate decreases after walking due south and z' = 1350 - 0.01(y')^2,

y'  \leq 120\\ \Rightarrow (y')^2 \leq 120^2 = 14,400\\ \Rightarrow -0.01(y')^2 \geq -0.01(14,400) = -144\\ \Rightarrow z' = 1,350 - 0.01(y')^2 \geq 1,350 - 0.01(14,400) = 1,206\\ \Rightarrow \boxed{z' \geq 1,206}

So, the height after walking due south exceeds 1,206 meters, which is the previous height before walking due south. Therefore, if you walk due south from point with coordinates (100, 120, 1206), you are ascending.

So for the first one, you would have to multiply 2 six times. and then 2 with a -4 exponent is a little challenging. Okay, you would have to make it a fraction. so it would be 1/16. then you would just multiply 2 seven times.

A boat starts from a port and moves 12 miles north and then moves 5 miles east. what is the present distance of the boat from th
disa [49]
If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.

Solution:

h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13

The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.
