A particle begins at point (1, 2) and is moving along the line segment joining (1, 2) to (3, 4). Initially, what is the rate of

change of the function f(x, y) = 2x 2 − y 2 in this direction? Is the function increasing or decreasing initially?

Answer:

Initially, that is, at (1,2), the rate of increase of the function in the direction given = 0

Hence the function is neither increasing nor decreasing initially in the given direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x,y) = 2x² - y²

Rate of Change of the function = ∇f = (fₓ, fᵧ)

And we're told to find the rate of change in a particular direction = ∇f.û

We first obtain the unit vector in that direction, û

Direction = (3,4) - (1,2) = (2,2)

Uni vector = vector/magnitude

Vector = 2î + 2j

magnitude = √(2² + 2²) = √8 = 2 √2

(2î + 2j)/(2√2) = (1/√2)î + (1/√2)j = û

Unit vector in the direction = (1/√2, 1/√2)

f = 2x² - y²

At (1,2)

fₓ = ∂f/∂x = 4x = 4

fᵧ = ∂f/∂y = -2y = -4

∇f = (4,-4)

∇f.û = (4î - 4j).((1/√2)î + (1/√2)j) = (4/√2) - (4/√2) = 0

If it was positive, then the function is increasing, if it was negative, the function is decreasing. Zero means neither of them.

Hence the function is neither increasing nor decreasing initially in the given direction.

<h3>Answer:  15 years old</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

m = Maggie's age (some positive whole number)

4m = four times her age

4m-7 = seven years younger than 4m = brother's age

Add up her age (m) and her brother's age (4m-7) to get a sum of 68.

m+(4m-7) = 68

5m-7 = 68

5m = 68+7

5m = 75

m = 75/5

m = 15

Maggie is currently 15 years old.

Her brother is currently 4m-7 = 4*15-7 = 60-7 = 53 years old.

Their current year ages add to: 15+53 = 68 which confirms the answer.
