I hope this helps you

x= -1 f (-1)=(-1)^2+7=1+7=8

g (f (-1))= g (8)

x=8 g (8)= 8-4/8=4/8=1/2

Show that the line integral is independent of path by finding a function f such that ?f = f. c 2xe?ydx (2y ? x2e?ydy, c is any p

Juli2301 [7.4K]

I'm reading this as

$\displaystyle\int_C2xe^{-y}\,\mathrm dx+(2y-x^2e^{-y})\,\mathrm dy$

with $\nabla f=(2xe^{-y},2y-x^2e^{-y})$ .

The value of the integral will be independent of the path if we can find a function $f(x,y)$ that satisfies the gradient equation above.

You have

$\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2xe^{-y}\\\\\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=2y-x^2e^{-y}\end{cases}$

Integrate $\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ with respect to $x$ . You get

$\displaystyle\int\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}\,\mathrm dx=\int2xe^{-y}\,\mathrm dx$
$f=x^2e^{-y}+g(y)$

Differentiate with respect to $y$ . You get

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial}{\partial y}[x^2e^{-y}+g(y)]$
$2y-x^2e^{-y}=-x^2e^{-y}+g'(y)$
$2y=g'(y)$

Integrate both sides with respect to $y$ to arrive at

$\displaystyle\int2y\,\mathrm dy=\int g'(y)\,\mathrm dy$
$y^2=g(y)+C$
$g(y)=y^2+C$

So you have

$f(x,y)=x^2e^{-y}+y^2+C$

The gradient is continuous for all $x,y$ , so the fundamental theorem of calculus applies, and so the value of the integral, regardless of the path taken, is

$\displaystyle\int_C2xe^{-y}\,\mathrm dx+(2y-x^2e^{-y})\,\mathrm dy=f(4,1)-f(1,0)=\frac9e$

Why is the quotient of three divided by one-fifth different from the quotient of one-fifth divided by three? Tell a story that c

miskamm [114]

Answer:

These quotients are different because of what division means.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide you start with a total and break it into equal groups. If you started with three and broke them into groups of 1/5, that is different then starting with 1/5 and breaking into three groups.

If you had 3 cups of Chex mix and made servings of 1/5 of a cup. How many servings could you get? This is 3 divided by 1/5.

If you want to put tomatoes in 1/5 of your garden and you have 3 different tomatoes you want to plant. What fraction of the original garden will each type of tomato be in if they are evenly distributed.
