Answer:
a) "ascend"
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
The equation is 
This question is asking for the value of the directional derivative in the direction of -j [since south that's y negative]
So, this is the negative of partial derivative of y. Thus we have:

Now we are at (100,120,1106), we take y value of 120 and put it in the partial:

We take the negative, that is -(-2.4) = 2.4
Since this is positive, we can say the hill is sloping upward at this point, so you will start to ascend.
Answer:
ok
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 20
y = 10
m∡8 = 110°
Step-by-step explanation:
m∡1 + m∡2 = 180
5x + y + 3x + y = 180
8x + 2y = 180
m∡1 = m∡8 (they are alternate-exterior angles and are congruent)
5x + y = 3x + 5y
2x = 4y
x = 2y
Substitute '2y' for 'x' in 8x + 2y = 180
8(2y) + 2y = 180
18y = 180
y = 10
x = 2(10)
x = 20
m∡8 = 3(20) + 5(10) = 110°
Answer:
(1,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
we can't factor this so we'll use the quadratic formula

(use both of them because usually there are two zeroes)
We have

Therefore the x intercept is just (1,0)
