Let:     x be Amy's marbles
         3x be Robin's marbles
   15+3x be Sam's marbles
x+3x+15+3x=99
          7x+15=99
                7x=99-15 (transfer 15 to the right side of the equation, then minus)
             7x/7=84/7 (divide both sides of the equation by 7)
                  x=12
Now substitute:
                             x = 12 (Amy's)
                3x = 3*12 = 36 (Robin's)
   15+3x  = 15+3*12 =  51 (Sam's)
               12+36+51 = 99
Therefore, Amy has 12 marbles, Robin has 36 marbles and Sam has 51 marbles.

Compute the directional derivative of the function g(x,y)= sin(π(x−5y)).
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The directional derivative of a function in a particular direction u is given as the dot product of the unit vector in the direction of u and the gradient of the function

g(x,y) = sin(π(x−5y)

∇g = [(∂/∂x)î + (∂/∂y)j + (∂/∂z)ķ] [sin(π(x−5y))

(∂/∂x) g = (∂/∂x) sin (πx−5πy) = π [cos(π(x−5y))]

(∂/∂y) g = (∂/∂y) sin (πx−5πy) = - 5π [cos (π(x−5y))]

∇g = π [cos(π(x−5y))] î - 5π [cos (π(x−5y))] j

∇g = π [cos (π(x−5y))] [î - 5j]

So, the question requires a direction vector and a point to fully evaluate this directional derivative now.

Maria makes money by commission rates. She gets 15% of everything she sells. If Maria sold $23000 worth of items this month, wha
Verizon [17]
To find 15% of 23000,
23000 x (15/100) = 23000 x 0.15 = 3450
So her salary for the month would be $3450.
