Suppose you are climbing a hill whose shape is given by the equation z = 1300 − 0.005x2 − 0.01y2, where x, y, and z are measured

in meters, and you are standing at a point with coordinates (100, 120, 1106). The positive x-axis points east and the positive y-axis points north. (a) If you walk due south, will you start to ascend or descend? ascend descend

Answer:

a) "ascend"

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The equation is  z = 1300-0.005x^2-0.01y^2

This question is asking for the value of the directional derivative in the direction of -j [since south that's y negative]

So, this is the negative of partial derivative of y. Thus we have:

z = 1300-0.005x^2-0.01y^2\\z_y=-0.02y

Now we are at (100,120,1106), we take y value of 120 and put it in the partial:

z_y=-0.02y\\z_y=-0.02(120)\\z_y=-2.4

We take the negative, that is -(-2.4) = 2.4

Since this is positive, we can say the hill is sloping upward at this point, so you will start to ascend.

Carmen drew line A and line B in the two scatter plots shown. one scatter plot contains 12 points indicating a negative correlat
blondinia [14]

The true statement is that only line A is a well-placed line of best fit

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

The scatter plots are not given. However, the question can still be answered

The features of the given lines of best fits are:

<u>Line A</u>

  • 12 points in total
  • Negative correlation
  • Passes through the 12 points with 6 on either sides

<u>Line B</u>

  • 12 points in total
  • Positive correlation
  • Passes through the 12 points with 8 and 4 in either sides

For a line of best fit to be well-placed, the line must divide the points on the scatter plot equally.

From the given features, we can see that line A can be considered as a good line of best fit, because it divides the points on the scatter plot equally.
