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

Bumek [7]

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.

Today there are a total of six toll-free area codes: 800, 844, 855, 866, 877, and 888. Assume that all seven digits for the rest

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$6 \times 10^{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of toll-free area codes = 6

A complete number will be of the form:

800-abc-defg

Where abcdefg can be any 7 numbers from 0 to 9. This holds true for all the 6 area codes.

Finding the possible toll free numbers for one area code and multiplying that by 6 will give use the total number of toll free numbers for all 6 area codes.

Considering: 800-abc-defg

The first number "a" can take any digit from 0 to 9. So there are 10 possibilities for this place. Similarly, the second number can take any digit from 0 to 9, so there are 10 possibilities for this place as well and same goes for all the 7 numbers.

Since, there are 10 possibilities for each of the 7 places, according to the fundamental principle of counting, the total possible toll free numbers for one area code would be:

Possible toll free numbers for 1 area code = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = $10^{7}$
