The total amount is $ 780

Solution:

Let the total amount be "x"

Given that,

First person gets $ 268

Second person gets $ 200

Third person gets 40 %

This means, third person gets 40 % of total amount

Third person = 40 % of x

$Third\ person = 40 \% \times x\\\\Third\ person = \frac{40}{100} \times x\\\\Third\ person = 0.4x$

We know that, total amount is equal to sum of amount got by all three persons

Total amount = first person + second person + third perosn

$x = 268 + 200+ 0.4x\\\\x - 0.4x = 268 + 200\\\\0.6x = 468\\\\x = \frac{468}{0.6}\\\\x = 780$

Thus the total amount is $ 780

Consider F and C below. F(x, y, z) = y2 sin(z) i + 2xy sin(z) j + xy2 cos(z) k C: r(t) = t2 i + sin(t) j + t k, 0 ≤ t ≤ π (a) Fi

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

a) $f (x,y,z)= xy^2\sin(z)$

b) $\int_C F \cdot dr =0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that given a function f(x,y,z) then $\nabla f = (\frac{\partial f}{\partial x},\frac{\partial f}{\partial y},\frac{\partial f}{\partial z})$ . To find f, we will assume it exists and then we will find its form by integration.

First assume that F = $\nabla f$ . This implies that

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y^2\sin(z)$ if we integrate with respect to x we get that

$f(x,y,z) = xy^2\sin(z) + g(y,z)$ for some function g(y,z). If we take the derivative of this equation with respect to y, we get

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 2xy\sin(z) + \frac{\partial g}{\partial y}$

This must be equal to the second component of F. Then

$2xy\sin(z) + \frac{\partial g}{\partial y}=2xy\sin(z)$

This implies that $\frac{\partial g}{\partial y}=0$ , which means that g depends on z only. So $f(x,y,z) = xy^2\sin(z) + g(z)$

Taking the derivative with respect to z and making it equal to the third component of F, we get

$xy^2\cos(z)+\frac{dg}{dz} = xy^2\cos(z)$

which implies that $\frac{dg}{dz}=0$ which means that g(z) = K, where K is a constant. So

$f (x,y,z)= xy^2\sin(z)$

b) To evaluate $\int_C F \cdot dr$ we can evaluate it by using f. We can calculate the value of f at the initial and final point of C and the subtract them as follows.

$\int_C F \cdot dr = f(r(\pi))-f(r(0))$

Recall that $r(\pi) = (\pi^2, 0, \pi)$ so $f(r(\pi)) = \pi^2\cdot 0 \cdot \sin(\pi) = 0$

Also $r(0) = (0, 0, 0)$ so $f(r(0)) = 0^2\cdot 0 \cdot \sin(0) = 0$

So $\int_C F \cdot dr =0$

Sasha can mow 3/8 of an acre of grass in 45minutes.how many acres of grass does Sasha now per hour?

horrorfan [7]

Keeping in mind that an hour is 60 minutes.

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
\stackrel{acre}{grass}&\stackrel{minutes}{time}\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{3}{8}&45\\
g&60
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{3}{8}}{g}=\cfrac{45}{60}\implies \cfrac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{g}{1}}=\cfrac{45}{60}\implies \cfrac{3}{8}\cdot \cfrac{1}{g}=\cfrac{45}{60}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3}{8g}=\cfrac{45}{60}\implies 180=360g\implies \cfrac{180}{360}=g\implies \cfrac{1}{2}=g$

Which equation represents a nonlinear function?

Luden [163]

The correct answer is: [A]: " x(y – 5) = 2 " .
_____________________________________________________
Consider:
_____________________________________________________
Choice: [A]: " x(y–5) = 2 " ;

Divide each side by "x" ;

" [x(y – 5)] / x = 2/x " ;

→ y – 5 = 2/x ;

Add "5" to each side of the equation:

y – 5 + 5 = 2/x + 5 ;

→ y = 2/x + 5 ; not a line; since one cannot divide by "zero" ; there would be no "point" on the graph at "x = 0". So, this answer choice: [A] is correct.
_______________________________________________________
Choice [B]:

y -2x -18 = 0

y - 2x = 18

y = 18 + 2x ; y = 2x + 18 ; is a line.
_________________________________________________
Choice C) 3y + 12 - 6x = 5 ;

3y = 5 - 12 + 6x ;

3y = -7 + 6x ; 3y = 6x - 7 ; y = 6x/3 - 7/3 ; y = 2x - 7/3 ; is a line.
_________________________________________________
Choice: [D]:

2(y+x) = 0 ;

[2*(y+x)] / 2 = 0/2 ; y + x = 0 ; y = -x ; is a line.
