f(x,y)=\dfrac{y^3}x

a. The gradient is

\nabla f(x,y)=\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}\,\vec\imath+\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}\,\vec\jmath

\boxed{\nabla f(x,y)=-\dfrac{y^3}{x^2}\,\vec\imath+\dfrac{3y^2}x\,\vec\jmath}

b. The gradient at point P(1, 2) is

\boxed{\nabla f(1,2)=-8\,\vec\imath+12\,\vec\jmath}

c. The derivative of f at P in the direction of \vec u is

D_{\vec u}f(1,2)=\nabla f(1,2)\cdot\dfrac{\vec u}{\|\vec u\|}

It looks like

\vec u=\dfrac{13}2\,\vec\imath+5\,\vec\jmath

so that

\|\vec u\|=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{13}2\right)^2+5^2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{269}}2

Then

D_{\vec u}f(1,2)=\dfrac{\left(-8\,\vec\imath+12\,\vec\jmath\right)\cdot\left(\frac{13}2\,\vec\imath+5\,\vec\jmath\right)}{\frac{\sqrt{269}}2}

\boxed{D_{\vec u}f(1,2)=\dfrac{16}{\sqrt{269}}}

Please please help!!!! According to the probability distribution below, what is the expected value of X? X 0 1 2 3 4 5 P(X) 0.3
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

D.) The expected value is 1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a probability distribution is evaluated using the formula.

Expected Value, E(X)=\sum^{n}_{i=1}x_iP(x_i)

Therefore, from the given probability distribution, we have:

E(X)=(0*0.3)+(1*0.2)+(2*0.16)+(3*0.2)+(4*0.04)+(5*0.1)

E(X)=1.78

The Expected value of X is 1.78.

The correct option is D.

Answer:

$62.42

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step: Simplify the numbers first

$24.99 -------> 25

$12.99 ---------> 13

$4.49 ----------> 4

$19.95 ---------> 20

25+13+4+20= 62

cents from simplified version: 42 cents are added to the final number

$0.42+ $62.00 = $62.42

Total Cost: The four athletic items will cost $62.42 in total.

Hope this helps!!!
