It costs an adult $12 and a child $8.50 to eat at the buffet.

2a+3c=49.40
3a+1c=44.50

c=44.50-3a

2a+3(44.50-3a)=49.50
-7a+133.5=49.50
a=12

2(12)+3c=49.50
3c=25.50
c=8.50

Suppose a tub has the shape of an elliptical paraboloid given by z = ax2+by2 (where a, b are some positive constants). If a marb
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

It would roll in this direction.

\nu  =  (-a/\sqrt{a^2+b^2},-b/\sqrt{a^2+b^2})

Step-by-step explanation:

It would roll to the direction of maximum decrease, which is the -1 times the direction of maximum increase, which is given by the gradient of the function.  

Since  

z =  ax^2  + by^2

For this case, the gradient of your function would be

\nabla z  = (2ax , 2by)

And  -1  times the gradient of your function would be

-\nabla z  = (-2ax , -2by)\\

Then, at

 (1,1,a+b),\\x = 1 \\y = 1

So it would go towards

v = (-2a,-2b)

The magnitud of that vector is

|v| =  2\sqrt{a^2+b^2}

and to conclude it would roll in this direction.

\nu  =  (-a/\sqrt{a^2+b^2},-b/\sqrt{a^2+b^2})
