Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x = 4

y = 6m - 2

a = 8

b = 5

Required:

Value of m

SOLUTION:

x and y are segments of a chord divided when it intersects another chord that also has segments a and b.

According to the Intersecting chords theorem, $a*b = x*y$

Thus:

$8*5 = 4*(6m - 2)$

Solve for m

$40 = 24m - 8$

$40 + 8 = 24m - 8 + 8$

$48 = 24m$

$\frac{48}{24} = \frac{24m}{24}$

$2 = m$

The value of m = 2

Find the directional derivative of the function at the given point in the direction of the vector v. h(r, s, t) = ln(3r + 6s + 9

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

$D_\overrightarrow{\rm v}$ $h(r,s,t)=(\frac{2}{7}\overrightarrow{\rm i})*(\frac{1}{r+2s+3t})+(\frac{6}{7}\overrightarrow{\rm j})*(\frac{2}{r+2s+3t})+(\frac{3}{7}\overrightarrow{\rm k})*(\frac{3}{r+2s+3t})$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let’s check to see if the direction vector is a unit vector:

$||v||=\sqrt{(14)^{2} +(42)^{2} +(21)^{2} } =\sqrt{2401} =49$

It’s not a unit vector. therefore let's divide the vector by its magnitude in order to convert it into a unit vector:

$\overrightarrow{\rm v}=(\frac{14}{49}\overrightarrow{\rm i})+(\frac{42}{49}\overrightarrow{\rm j})+(\frac{21}{49}\overrightarrow{\rm k})= (\frac{2}{7}\overrightarrow{\rm i})+(\frac{6}{7}\overrightarrow{\rm j})+(\frac{3}{7}\overrightarrow{\rm k})$

Now, the directional derivative is given by:

$D_\overrightarrow{\rm v}$ $h(r,s,t)=\frac{\partial h(r,s,t)}{\partial r}\overrightarrow{\rm i} + \frac{\partial h(r,s,t)}{\partial s}\overrightarrow{\rm j} + \frac{\partial h(r,s,t)}{\partial t}\overrightarrow{\rm k}$

So let's calculate the partial derivates:

$\frac{\partial }{\partial r} ln(3r+6s+9t)=\frac{3}{3r+6s+9t}=\frac{1}{r+2s+3t}$

$\frac{\partial }{\partial s} ln(3r+6s+9t)=\frac{6}{3r+6s+9t}=\frac{2}{r+2s+3t}$

$\frac{\partial }{\partial t} ln(3r+6s+9t)=\frac{9}{3r+6s+9t}=\frac{3}{r+2s+3t}$

Therefore:
