Answer:

sales-tax rate = 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of a silk scarf is $32. The sales tax is $1.92

Let the sale tax rate be s%

Price of silk scarf = $32

Sale tax = s% of 32

Sale tax = $1.92

Thus,

s% of 32 = 1.92

First we change s% to decimal

$\dfrac{s}{100}\times 32=1.92$

$s=\dfrac{1.92\times 100}{32}$

$s=6\%$

Hence, The sales-tax rate is 6%

Find the directional derivative of f(x,y,z)=z3−x2yf(x,y,z)=z3−x2y at the point (−5,5,2)(−5,5,2) in the direction of the vector v

olga_2 [115]

We are given

$f=z^3 -x^2y$

Firstly, we can find gradient

so, we will find partial derivatives

$f_x=0 -2xy$

$f_x=-2xy$

$f_y=0 -x^2$

$f_y=-x^2$

$f_z=3z^2$

now, we can plug point (-5,5,2)

$f_x=-2*-5*5=50$

$f_y=-(-5)^2=-25$

$f_z=3(2)^2=12$

so, gradient will be

$gradf=(50,-25,12)$

now, we are given that

it is in direction of v=⟨−3,2,−4⟩

so, we will find it's unit vector

$|v|=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(2)^2+(-4)^2}$

$|v|=\sqrt{29}$

now, we can find unit vector

$v'=(\frac{-3}{\sqrt{29} } , \frac{2}{\sqrt{29} } , \frac{-4}{\sqrt{29} })$

now, we can find dot product to find direction of the vector

$dir=(gradf) \cdot (v')$

now, we can plug values

$dir=(50,-25,12) \cdot (\frac{-3}{\sqrt{29} } , \frac{2}{\sqrt{29} } , \frac{-4}{\sqrt{29} })$

$dir=(-\frac{150}{\sqrt{29} } - \frac{50}{\sqrt{29} } - \frac{48}{\sqrt{29} })$

$dir=-\frac{248\sqrt{29}}{29}$ .............Answer

Please help!! Rewrite the formula to determine the amount of money they will make.

leva [86]

We have this equation to start with: m/n = 5.5. To achieve the desired equation, you need to multiply the entire equation by n, giving you this equation: m = 5.5n. Hope this helps!
