-2 (x - 8) + 4x= -12

mutiply the bracket by -2

(-2)(x)= -2x

(-2)(-8)= 16

-2x+16+4x= -12

-2x+4x+16= -12 ( combine like terms)

2x+16= -12

move 16 to the other side

sign changes from +16 to -16

2x+16-16= -12-16

2x= -12-16

2x= -28

divide both sides by 2

2x/2= -28/2

Compute the matrix of partial derivatives of the following functions.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

For a vector-valued function

$\mathbf f(\mathbf x)=\mathbf f(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n)=(f_1(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n),\ldots,f_m(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n))$

the matrix of partial derivatives (a.k.a. the Jacobian) is the $m\times n$ matrix in which the $(i,j)$ -th entry is the derivative of $f_i$ with respect to $x_j$ :

$D\mathbf f(\mathbf x)=\begin{bmatrix}\dfrac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_1}&\dfrac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_2}&\cdots&\dfrac{\partial f_1}{\partial x_n}\\\dfrac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_1}&\dfrac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_2}&\cdots&\dfrac{\partial f_2}{\partial x_n}\\\vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\vdots\\\dfrac{\partial f_m}{\partial x_1}&\dfrac{\partial f_m}{\partial x_2}&\cdots&\dfrac{\partial f_n}{\partial x_n}\end{bmatrix}$

So we have

(a)

$D f(x,y)=\begin{bmatrix}\dfrac{\partial(e^x)}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial(e^x)}{\partial y}\\\dfrac{\partial(\sin(xy))}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial(\sin(xy))}{\partial y}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}e^x&0\\y\cos(xy)&x\cos(xy)\end{bmatrix}$

(b)

$D f(x,y,z)=\begin{bmatrix}\dfrac{\partial(x-y)}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial(x-y)}{\partial y}&\dfrac{\partial(x-y)}{\partial z}\\\dfrac{\partial(y+z)}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial(y+z)}{\partial y}&\dfrac{\partial(y+z)}{\partial z}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-1&0\\0&1&1\end{bmatrix}$

(c)

$Df(x,y)=\begin{bmatrix}y&x\\1&-1\\y&x\end{bmatrix}$

(d)

$Df(x,y,z)=\begin{bmatrix}1&0&1\\0&1&0\\1&-1&0\end{bmatrix}$

In 2007, the first generation of the i-phone sold for $499. The average cost of an i-phone today is $999. At a press conference

Gwar [14]

Answer: the statement made by Tim Cook is TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

in 2007 cost of 1st gen iphone = $499 (base year price)

cost of iphone today = $999 (current year price)

Using the Consumer Price Index

the Consumer Price Index = (cost pf product in current years/cost of product base year) × 100

we substitute

CPI = (999/499) × 100

CPI = 200.2004

so the CPI is 100.2004% higher in the current year than in the base year

Checking the inflation rate

IR = (( CPI this year- CPI last year)/CPI last year) × 100

CPI last year (base year) = 100

CPI current year is = 100.2004

IR = (( 100.2004 - 100)/100) × 100

IR = 0.002004 × 100

IR = 0.2004%

THEREFORE the statement made by Tim Cook is TRUE
