Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread

"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)

Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
  6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e            = -13.56
   e            = -13.56/-4
   e            = 3.39

The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39

The electric field in the​ xy-plane due to an infinite line of charge along the​ z-axis is a gradient field with a potential fun
Olenka [21]

Answer:

c(x,y)/(x²+y²)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since E​(x,y) = -∇V (x,y ) and V(x,y) =c ln (ro/√ x²+y²)

Let ro/√(x²+y²) = u and √(x²+y²) = v

dV/du = c/u = c√(x²+y²)/ro,

du/dv =  -ro/(x²+y²) = -ro/² and dv/dx = x/√(x²+y²)

Using the chain rule,

So dV/dx = dV/du × du/dv × dv/dx

= c√(x²+y²)/ro × -ro/(x²+y²) × x/√(x²+y²)

dV/dx = -cx/(x²+y²)

- dV/dx = -(-cx/(x²+y²)) = cx/(x²+y²)

Also, dv/dy = y/√(x²+y²)

Using the chain rule

dV/dy = dV/du × du/dv × dv/dy

= c√(x²+y²)/ro × -ro/(x²+y²) × y/√(x²+y²)

dV/dy = -cy/(x²+y²)

- dV/dy = -(-cy/(x²+y²)) = cy/(x²+y²)

E(x,y) = -∇V (x,y )

= -(dV/dx)i + [-(dV/dy)]j

= [cx/(x²+y²)]i +[ cy/(x²+y²)]j

= c(x,y)/(x²+y²)
