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

Find the common difference for the arithmetic sequence. 1.7, 2.7, 3.7 4.7.....
Anni [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You do not need to where the formula comes from but, just for fun, here’s a hint

To add up the numbers 1 to 10

Write out the numbers

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Write them backwards

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Add up both lists

11  11  11  11  11  11  11  11  11 11

This is 10 × 11 = 110

But this is twice the sum as two lots were added together

So the sum of the numbers 1 to 10 is 110 ÷ 2 = 55

Will a 2 quart pitcher hold 8 cups,1/4 cup,and 1/3 cup
Ghella [55]

Yes it will. A 2 quart pitcher is equal to 8 cups, and since 1/4 and 1/3 are less it can still hold it.
