Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is expressed as

-3x - 7y = -28 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

2x + 3y = 7 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3. It becomes

- 6x - 14y = - 56- - - - - - - - - - - 3

6x + 9y = 21 - - - - - - - - - - - 4

Adding equation 3 to equation 4, it becomes

- 5y = - 35

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by - 5, it becomes

- 5y/- 5 = - 35/- 5

y = 7

Substituting y = 7 into equation 2, it becomes

2x + 3 × 7 = 7

2x + 21 = 7

Subtracting 21 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

2x + 21 - 21 = 7 - 21

2x = - 14

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 2, it becomes

2x/2 = - 14/2

x = - 7

Answer:

y=7

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

2(-3x - 7y )= 2(-28)

3(2x+ 3y)=3(7)

-6x - 14y = -56

6x + 9y = 21

Add the two equations

-1(0x - 5y)= -1(- 35)

5y = 35

Divide both sides by 5

y=7

Substitution

6x + 9(7) = 21

6x + 63 = 21

Subtract 63 from both sides

6x = -42

Divide both sides by 6

x= - 7

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

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with a radius of 2x units and an apothem of units. A solid right pyramid

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$6 x^2*\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the pyramid we need to study is a hexagon.

Let's look at the attached image of an hexagon to understand how we are going to find the area of this figure.

Notice that an hexagon is the combination of 6 exactly equal equilateral triangles in our case of size "2x" (notice that the "radius" of the hexagon is given as "2x")

Therefore the area of the hexagon is going to be 6 times the area of one of those equilateral triangles.

We know the area of a triangle is the product of its base times its height, divided by 2: $\frac{base*height}{2} = \frac{2x*height}{2}$

We notice that the triangle's height is exactly what is called the "apothem" of the hexagon (depicted in green in our figure) which measures $x\sqrt{3}$ , so replacing this value in the formula above for the area of one of the triangles:

$\frac{2x*height}{2}= \frac{2x*x\sqrt{3} }{2}=x^2\sqrt{3}$

Then we multiply this area times 6 to get the total area of the hexagon (6 of these triangles):

Area of hexagon = $6x^2\sqrt{3}$

which is the last option given in the list.
