Suppose you are climbing a hill whose shape is given by the equation z = 1600 − 0.005x2 − 0.01y2, where x, y, and z are measured

in meters, and you are standing at a point with coordinates (120, 80, 1464). The positive x-axis points east and the positive y-axis points north. (a) If you walk due south, will you start to ascend or descend?

Answer:

you will start to ascend at the rate of 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Walking south, it's the negative part of a coordinate, so the unit vector at this point is; u = (0,-1)

We are told that the equation z = 1600 − 0.005x² − 0.01y²

Therefore, we have;

∇z = ((δ/δx)i + (δ/δx)j)(1600 − 0.005x² − 0.01y²)

This gives;

∇z = -0.005(2x)i - 0.01(2y)j

∇z = <-0.01x - 0.02y>

coordinates are (120, 80, 1464).

Thus;

∇z(120, 80, 1464) = <-0.01(120), - 0.02(80)> = <-1.20, -1.60>

D_uf = <-1.20, -1.60> × <0, - 1>

D_uf = 0 + 1.6

D_uf = 1.6

So, you will start to ascend at the rate of 1.6

Please help with algebra problem

Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y

This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643

The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44

We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44

Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y

Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44

Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243

Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400

Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243
