Answer:

a) \sqrt[]{163^3+9^2}

b) \sqrt[]{163^3+9^2}

c) \sqrt[]{163^3+9^2}\cdot \frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = xe^{x^2-y}. Recall the following:

-\nabla f = (\frac{df}{dx}, \frac{df}{dy} (The gradient of f is defined as the vector whose components are the partial derivatives of the function with respect to each of its variables)

- Given a direction vector v, that is a vector that is unitary, the rate of change of the function f in the direction v is given by

\nabla f \cdot v

- Recall that given two vectors a and b, the dot product between them is given by

a\cdot b = ||a|| ||b|| \cos(\theta)

- REcall that given a vector x, then x \cdot x = ||x||^2

where theta is the angle between both vectors and ||a|| is the norm of the vector a

- Given a vector  of components (x,y) its norm is given by \sqrt[]{x^2+y^2}.

a)Let us calculate first the gradient of f and the calculate it at the given point. We will omit the inner steps of derivation, so you must check that the gradient of f is given by

\nabla f = ((2x^2+1)e^{x^2-y},-xe^{x^2-y}). Since at P we have x=9, and y=81 the desired gradient is

\nabla f = (163,-9) and so the norm of the gradient at P is \sqrt[]{163^2+9^2}.

b) We want an unitary vector v for the gradient of f, so we take the gradient and divide it by its norm (i.e \frac{\nabla f}{||\nabla f||})

Hence, the rate of change is given by

\nabla f \cdot \frac{\nabla f}{||\nabla f||} = \frac{||\nabla f||^2}{||\nabla f||}=||\nabla f||

c). We are given that \theta = \pm45 ^\circ. We consider a vector a that is unitary, hence, the rate of change of f in the direction of vector a is given by

\nabla f \cdot a = ||a||||\nabla f||\cos(\pm 45 ^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{2}||\nabla f||

write a step by step proof. the givens are c is the midpoint of segment AB, and point c measures 10cm. prove AC=5cm plz help wil
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GIRL! You should add diagrams to these types of questions. It would really help

That 10cm does not mean point C is 10cm. It means the line AB is 10 cm in total.

And since point C is the midpoint, which means that point C cuts the line AB in half, that makes AC = 5cm

Prove that under root 2 is a irrational number​
torisob [31]

Answer:

Let's suppose √2 is a rational number. Then we can write it √2  = a/b where a, b are whole numbers, b not zero.

We additionally assume that this a/b is simplified to lowest terms, since that can obviously be done with any fraction. Notice that in order for a/b to be in simplest terms, both of a and b cannot be even. One or both must be odd. Otherwise, we could simplify a/b further.

From the equality √2  = a/b it follows that 2 = a2/b2,  or  a2 = 2 · b2.  So the square of a is an even number since it is two times something.

From this we know that a itself is also an even number. Why? Because it can't be odd; if a itself was odd, then a · a would be odd too. Odd number times odd number is always odd. Check it if you don't believe me!

Okay, if a itself is an even number, then a is 2 times some other whole number. In symbols, a = 2k where k is this other number. We don't need to know what k is; it won't matter. Soon comes the contradiction.

If we substitute a = 2k into the original equation 2 = a2/b2, this is what we get:

2=(2k)2/b22=4k2/b22*b2=4k2b2=2k2

This means that b2 is even, from which follows again that b itself is even. And that is a contradiction!!!

WHY is that a contradiction? Because we started the whole process assuming that a/b was simplified to lowest terms, and now it turns out that a and b both would be even. We ended at a contradiction; thus our original assumption (that √2 is rational) is not correct. Therefore √2 cannot be rational.

(I copied this from the internet, but hope it helps!)
