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

charle [14.2K]
So we want to know what changes inside the multimeter when we change the voltage range from 200 V to  20 V, by what factor and does it increase or decrease. What we want when trying to measure the voltage with a multimeter is that a minimal current passes trough the mulitmeter so when we change the voltage range, we decrease the resistance by a factor of 10 because the voltage is decreased by a factor of 10.

What is power, and what is its relationship to voltage and amperage?
kvasek [131]
The relationship between amperage, voltage, and power is that power equals the amperage quantity times the amount of voltage.

Power: is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.

Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less thanthat o
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

41.4 g

41.4 cm³

1.08695 g/cm³

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of water displaced will be the difference of the

m=45-3.6\\\Rightarrow m=41.4\ g

Mass of water displaced is 41.4 g

Density is given by

\rho=\dfrac{m}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{41.4}{1}\\\Rightarrow v=41.4\ cm^3

So, volume of bone is 41.4 cm³

Average density of the bird is given by

\rho=\dfrac{45}{41.4}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.08695\ g/cm^3

The average density is 1.08695 g/cm³

A truck moves 60 kilometers east from point A to point B. At point B, it turns back west and stops 15 kilometers away from point
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Distance: 75 km

Displacement: 45 km

Explanation:

- Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to the total space covered by an object. It is calculated as the sum of the distances covered in each motion, regardless of their direction. therefore in this case:

distance = 60 km + 15 km = 75 km

- Displacement is a vector quantity whose magnitude is equal to the difference between the final point and the starting point of the motion, so it also takes into account the direction of each motion. In this case, the truck moves 60 km east, and then 15 km west: if we call '0' the starting point, the final point will be then

p_B = 60 km - 15 km=45 km

And so the displacement is

d=p_B - p_A=45 km - 0 = 45 km
