Answer:
The magnitude is 
The direction is
i.e toward the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The function is 
The point considered is 
Generally the maximum rate of change of f at the given point and the direction is mathematically represented as
![\Delta f(x,y) = [\frac{\delta (9sin(xy))}{\delta x} i + \frac{\delta (9sin(xy))}{\delta y} i ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20f%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B%5Cdelta%20%20%289sin%28xy%29%29%7D%7B%5Cdelta%20x%7D%20i%20%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Cdelta%20%20%289sin%28xy%29%29%7D%7B%5Cdelta%20y%7D%20i%20%20%20%5D)
![\Delta f(x,y) = [9y cos (x,y) i + 9xcos (x,y) j]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20f%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20%5B9y%20cos%20%28x%2Cy%29%20i%20%2B%20%209xcos%20%28x%2Cy%29%20j%5D)
At 
![\Delta f (0,8) = [9(8) cos(0* 8)i + 9(8) sin(0* 8)j ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20%20f%20%280%2C8%29%20%3D%20%20%5B9%288%29%20cos%280%2A%208%29i%20%20%2B%209%288%29%20sin%280%2A%208%29j%20%20%5D)

For a survey like this, you want to take a random sample. It would be a good idea to use an alphabetical list of the students. Then, you could randomly select students from the list.
The principal would want to avoid surveying all the same type of students. For example, don't just ask the athletes.
To do this, we will need to find how much the elevator can hold in all. Multiply 10 by 250 to get 2500. Since it can also hold 10% more, multiply 2500 and 0.10 to find out how much 10% is. You get 250. Add 2500 and 250 to get how much the elevator can safely hold. It would be 2750.
To find out how much more weight can be added, first find out how much weight is on the elevator collectively. (books) 600+ (Jim) 180+ (Gavin) 330 + (Deb) 250 + (Susan) 120 = 1480. Subtract this from the amount the elevator can hold, and you get how much more weight can be added. 2750-1480= 1270.
The elevator can hold 1270 more ibs.
