Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4,-8)...x = -4 and y = -8

slope = 3/2

in y = mx + b form, the m is ur slope

now sub ur info into y = mx + b......we need to find b, the y intercept

y = mx + b

-8 = 3/2(-4) + b

-8 = -6 + b

-8 + 6 = b

-2 = b

so ur equation is : y = 3/2x - 2.....but u need it in another form

y = 3/2x - 2.....subtract 3/2x from both sides

-3/2x + y = -2 ....then u can multiply by -2 and get 3x - 2y = 4....just in case u dont want fractions

Find the directional derivative of f(x,y,z)=2z2x+y3f(x,y,z)=2z2x+y3 at the point (−1,4,3)(−1,4,3) in the direction of the vector

Feliz [49]

$f(x,y,z)=2z^2x+y^3$

$f$ has gradient

$\nabla f(x,y,z)=2z^2\,\vec\imath+3y^2\,\vec\jmath+4xz\,\vec k$

which at the point (-1, 4, 3) has a value of

$\nabla f(-1,4,3)=18\,\vec\imath+48\,\vec\jmath-12\,\vec k$

I'm not sure what the given direction vector is supposed to be, but my best guess is that it's intended to say $\vec u=15\,\vec\imath+25\,\vec\jmath$ , in which case we have

$\|\vec u\|=\sqrt{15^2+25^2}=5\sqrt{34}$

Then the derivative of $f$ at (-1, 4, 3) in the direction of $\vec u$ is

$D_{\vec u}f(-1,4,3)=\nabla f(-1,4,3)\cdot\dfrac{\vec u}{\|\vec u\|}=\boxed{\dfrac{294}{\sqrt{34}}}$

Paul owes Paula 3535 cents and has a pocket full of 55-cent coins, 1010-cent coins, and 2525-cent coins that he can use to pay h

Ray Of Light [21]

Paul owes paula 35 cents...she has a pocket full of nickels,dimes,and quarters.

largest number of coins would be : 7 nickels (7 coins)
smallest number of coins would be : 1 quarter and 1 dime (2 coins)

the difference is : 7 - 2 = 5 coins <=

ABC is a dilation image of DEF. What is the scale factor?

GrogVix [38]

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
length side AB=8 units
length side DE=4 units

[ABC]=[DEF]*[scale factor]
then
[scale factor ]=[ABC]/[DEF]---------> 8/4--------> 2

the answer is
the scale factor for a dilation image of DEF to obtain ABC is 2

Help with the linear equations

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$y \: intercept = - 1 \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept form for the equation of a line is

$y = mx + c$

You should note that <em>c</em> represents the y-intercept of the line (where the line touches the y-axis)

$y = mx + c \\ \\ we \:were\: given \:the \:equation \:y = x - \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ therefore \: the\: value \:of \:c \:is\: - \frac{3}{2} \:or -1 \frac {1}{2}$
