Question:

Problem 14. Let f(x, y) = (x^2)y*(e^(x−1)) + 2xy^2 and F(x, y, z) = x^2 + 3yz + 4xy.

(a) (i) Find the gradient of f.

(ii) Determine the direction in which f decreases most rapidly at the point (1, −1). At what rate is f decreasing?

(b) (i) Find the gradient of F.

(ii) Find the directional derivative of F at the point (1, 1, −5) in the direction of the vector a = 2 i + 3 j − √ 3 k.

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(a) (i)  the gradient of f =  ((y·x² + 2·y·x)·eˣ⁻¹ + 2·y² )i + (x²·eˣ⁻¹+4·y·x) j

(ii) The direction in which f decreases most rapidly at the point (1, −1), ∇f(x, y) = -1·i -3·j is the y direction.

The rate is f decreasing is -3 .

(b) (i) The gradient of F is (2·x+4·y)i + (3·z+4·x)j + 3·y·k

(ii) The directional derivative of F at the point (1, 1, −5) in the direction of the vector a = 2 i + 3 j − √ 3 k is  ñ∙∇F =  4·x +⅟4 (8-3√3)y+ 9/4·z at (1, 1, −5)

4 +⅟4 (8-3√3)+ 9/4·(-5) = -6.549 .

Explanation:

f(x, y) = x²·y·eˣ⁻¹+2·x·y²

The gradient of f = grad f(x, y) = ∇f(x, y) = ∂f/∂x i+  ∂f/∂y j = = (∂x²·y·eˣ⁻¹+2·x·y²)/∂x i+  (∂x²·y·eˣ⁻¹+2·x·y²)/∂y j

= ((y·x² + 2·y·x)·eˣ⁻¹ + 2·y² )i + (x²·eˣ⁻¹+4·y·x) j

(ii) at the point (1, -1) we have  

∇f(x, y) = -1·i -3·j  that is the direction in which f decreases most rapidly at the point (1, −1) is the y direction.  

The rate is f decreasing is -3

(b) F(x, y, z) = x² + 3·y·z + 4·x·y.

The gradient of F is given by grad F(x, y, z)  = ∇F(x, y, z) = = ∂f/∂x i+  ∂f/∂y j+∂f/∂z k = (2·x+4·y)i + (3·z+4·x)j + 3·y·k

(ii) The directional derivative of F at the point (1, 1, −5) in the direction of the vector a = 2·i + 3·j −√3·k

The magnitude of the vector 2·i +3·j -√3·k is √(2²+3²+(-√3)² ) = 4, the unit vector is therefore  

ñ = ⅟4(2·i +3·j -√3·k)  

The directional derivative is given by ñ∙∇F = ⅟4(2·i +3·j -√3·k)∙( (2·x+4·y)i + (3·z+4·x)j + 3·y·k)  

= ⅟4 (2((2·x+4·y))+3(3·z+4·x)- √3∙3·y) = 4·x +⅟4 (8-3√3)y+ 9/4·z at point (1, 1, −5) = -6.549

Two resistors, R1=3.85 Ω and R2=6.47 Ω , are connected in series to a battery with an EMF of 24.0 V and negligible internal resi
Bond [772]

Answer:

(a) 2.33 A

(b) 15.075 V

Explanation:

From the question,

The total resistance (Rt) = R1+R2 = 3.85+6.47

R(t) = 10.32 ohms.

Applying ohm's law,

V = IR(t)..........equation 1

Where V = Emf of the battery, I = current flowing through the circuit, R(t) = combined resistance of both resistors.

Note: Since both resistors are connected in series, the current flowing through them is the same.

Therefore,

I = V/R(t)............. Equation 2

Given: V = 24 V, R(t) = 10.32 ohms

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 24/10.32

I = 2.33 A.

Hence the current through R1 = 2.33 A.

V2 = IR2.............. Equation 3

V2 = 2.33(6.47)

V2 = 15.075 V

A marshmallow is dropped from a 5.71 meter high pedestrian bridge, and 0.921 seconds later, it lands right on the head of an uns
Natalka [10]

let the height of the person with marshmallow on her head be "h"

consider the motion of the marshmallow after it is dropped from bridge.

Y₀ = initial position of the marshmallow above the ground = 5.71 m

Y = final position of marshmallow on head of person = h

v₀ = initial velocity of the marshmallow = 0 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for marshmallow = 0.921 sec

Using the kinematics equation

Y = Y₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

inserting the values

h = 5.71 + 0 (0.921) + (0.5) (-9.8) (0.921)²

h = 5.71 - 4.16

h = 1.55 m

A copper wire of resistivity 2.6 × 10-8 Ω m, has a cross sectional area of 35 × 10-4 cm2
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

the length of the wire is 134.62 m.

Explanation:

Given;

resistivity of the copper wire, ρ = 2.6 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm

cross-sectional area of the wire, A  = 35 x 10⁻⁴ cm² = ( 35 x 10⁻⁴) x 10⁻⁴ m²

resistance of the wire, R = 10Ω

The length of the wire is calculated as follows;

R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \\\\L = \frac{RA}{\rho} \\\\L= \frac{10 \times (35\times 10^{-4}) \times 10^{-4}}{2.6 \times 10^{-8}} \\\\L = 134.62 \ m

Therefore, the length of the wire is 134.62 m.
