Just plug the number in.

f(-8)=3(-8)-7=-31.

f(-8) equals -31.

It would be 6 because it it under .5 so you wouldn't round up

Evaluate the integral Integral ∫ from (1,2,3 ) to (5, 7,-2 ) y dx + x dy + 4 dz by finding parametric equations for the line seg

n200080 [17]

$\vec F(x,y,z)=y\,\vec\imath+x\,\vec\jmath+3\,\vec k$

is conservative if there is a scalar function $f(x,y,z)$ such that $\nabla f=\vec F$ . This would require

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=y$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=x$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=3$

(or perhaps the last partial derivative should be 4 to match up with the integral?)

From these equations we find

$f(x,y,z)=xy+g(y,z)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=x=x+\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}\implies\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=0\implies g(y,z)=h(z)$

$f(x,y,z)=xy+h(z)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=3=\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}\implies h(z)=3z+C$

$f(x,y,z)=xy+3z+C$

so $\vec F$ is indeed conservative, and the gradient theorem (a.k.a. fundamental theorem of calculus for line integrals) applies. The value of the line integral depends only the endpoints:

$\displaystyle\int_{(1,2,3)}^{(5,7,-2)}y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy+3\,\mathrm dz=\int_{(1,2,3)}^{(5,7,-2)}\nabla f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\vec r$

$=f(5,7,-2)-f(1,2,3)=\boxed{18}$

You are going to mix a gallon bucket of window cleaner. The instructions direct you to mix 1 part cleaner to 3 parts water. How

Ira Lisetskai [31]

3 parts water
clean:water=1:3
1:3=xcleaner:1gallon
1/3=xcleaner/1gallon
times 3gallon both sides
1gallon=3xcleaner
divide both sides by 3
1/3 gallon=xcleaner

therfor you need 1/3 gallon of cleaner
