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

Answer:

z= 2.38

P = 0.008656

Step-by-step explanation:

Here n= 500 and p~= 464/500= 0.928 and q`= 1- 0.928 = 0.072

We formulate our null and alternate hypothesis as

H0 =  0.9 ;       H0 > 0.9

The degree of confidence = 90%

z₀.₀₅ = 1.645 for  α= 0.05

We use the test statistic

z=  x- np/√npq

z= 466-500 *0.9/ √500 * 0.9(1-0.9)

z= 466- 450/ √45

z= 16/6.7082

z= 2.38

As the calculated value of z= 2.38  is greater than α =1.645 so we reject H0.

If H0 is true the P value is calculated as

P = 1- Ф( 2.38)

P = 1-0.991344=0.008656

Find any two rational number between 1/5 &amp;2/7​
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

8/35,9/35

Step-by-step explanation:

L.C.M. of 5 and 7=5×7=35

1/5×7/7=7/35

2/7×5/5=10/35

numbers between 7/35 and 10/35 are 8/35,9/35

actually there are infinite numbers

like 71/350,72/350,73/350,...
