Answer:

a) The gradient of a function is the vector of partial derivatives. Then

\nabla f=(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}, \frac{\partial f}{\partial y})=(y,x)=y\hat{i} + x\hat{j}

b) It's enough evaluate P in the gradient.

\nabla f(P)=(-4,-4)=-4\hat{i} - 4 \hat{j}

c) The directional derivative of f at P in direction of V is the dot produtc of \nabla f(P) and v.

\nabla f(P) v=(-4,-4)\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\3\end{array}\right] =(-4)2+(-4)3=-20

d) The maximum rate of change of f at P is the magnitude of the gradient vector at P.

||\nabla f(P)||=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{32}=4\sqrt{2}

e) The maximum rate of change occurs in the direction of the gradient. Then

v=\frac{1}{4\sqrt{2}}(-4,-4)=(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}})= \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\hat{i}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\hat{j}

is the direction vector in which the maximum rate of change occurs at P.

the relationship between the number of $4 lunches you buy with a $100 school lunch card and the money remaining on the card. Is
snow_lady [41]
A solid line, because each lunch cost the same, and the price does not differ from lunch to lunch. So, 100 - 4 = 96  |  96 - 4 = 92, etc.

Lee drove 420 miles and used 15 gallons pf gasoline.How many miles did Lee's car travel per gallon of gasoline?
kondor19780726 [428]
Divide the two numbers. The equation is 420/15=28. So Lee would get 28 miles per gallon of gasoline. I hope this helps!
