<u>Answer</u>:

The length of the short part is 37 inches, and the length of the other part is 74 inches.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

Total length of the stick =  111 inches.

One piece is twice as long as the other.

To Find:

Length of the two pieces=?

Solution:

Let the length of one piece be n,

Then the other piece will be 2n.

Now, total length of stick = n + 2n

=>111 inches = 2n + n

=>111 = 3n

=>n =\frac{111}{3}

So, length of short path is 37 inches,

Then length of other part is

=> 2(n)

=>2(37)

=> 74 inches.

Hence, the length of the short part is 37 inches, and the length of the other part is 74 inches.

Let’s say that the other one is described as X. So if one piece is twice as long as the other one, it’ll be 2x.

2x + X =111
3x = 111
3x divided by 3= 111 divided by 3
X= 37

So 2x = 2(37) = 74
X = 37

74
+ 37

Find the maximum rate of change of f at the given point and the direction in which it occurs. f(x, y) = 9 sin(xy), (0, 8)
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The magnitude is  \Delta f(0,8)  =  72

The  direction  is  i i.e toward the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The function is  f(x, y) =  9sin(xy) \ \ \

    The point considered is  (0,8 )

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  f(x,y)}{\delta x } i + \frac{\delta  f(x,y)}{\delta y } j  ]

             \Delta f(x,y) =  [\frac{\delta  (9sin(xy))}{\delta x} i  + \frac{\delta  (9sin(xy))}{\delta y} i   ]

            \Delta f(x,y) = [9y cos (x,y) i +  9xcos (x,y) j]

At  (0,8 )

            \Delta  f (0,8) =  [9(8) cos(0* 8)i  + 9(8) sin(0* 8)j  ]

            \Delta  f (0,8) = 72 i
