If 40% of a number is 56 what was the original number

1 answer:

5 0

Percent is pars out of 100
40%=40/100=4/10=0.4
'of' means multiply
0.4 times something=56
divide both sides by 0.4
something=140

th enumber is 140

Evaluate csc(-315°).

Maru [420]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} } = \sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice from the attached image that -315 degrees is the same as 45 degrees.

Recall as well that the csc function is defined as the reciprocal of the sine function: $csc(x)=\frac{1}{sin(x)}$

Then, you need to evaluate $\frac{1}{sin(45)} = 1/\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2} } =\sqrt{2}$

Find the derivative of the function at P 0 in the direction of A. f(x,y,z) = 3 e^x cos(yz), P0 (0, 0, 0), A = - i + 2 j + 3k

Alik [6]

The derivative of $f(x,y,z)$ at a point $p_0=(x_0,y_0,z_0)$ in the direction of a vector $\vec a=a_x\,\vec\imath+a_y\,\vec\jmath+a_z\,\vec k$ is

$\nabla f(x_0,y_0,z_0)\cdot\dfrac{\vec a}{\|\vec a\|}$

We have

$f(x,y,z)=3e^x\cos(yz)\implies\nabla f(x,y,z)=3e^x\cos(yz)\,\vec\imath-3ze^x\sin(yz)\,\vec\jmath-3ye^x\sin(yz)\,\vec k$

and

$\vec a=-\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath+3\,\vec k\implies\|\vec a\|=\sqrt{(-1)^2+2^2+3^2}=\sqrt{14}$

Then the derivative at $p_0$ in the direction of $\vec a$ is

$3\,\vec\imath\cdot\dfrac{-\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath+3\,\vec k}{\sqrt{14}}=-\dfrac3{\sqrt{14}}$
