Lamar works as a tutor for $7 an hour and as a waiter for $8 an hour . this month he worked a combined total of 92 hours at his

ira [324]

t is the number of hours Lamar worked as a tutor
We know that he worked for 92 hours total, so he worked 92-t hours as a waiter.

So his earnings are: 7t + 8(92-t) = 736 -t dollars

This expression seems logical as if Lamar worked 0 hours as a tutor and 92 as a waiter his earnings would be 8*92 = 736
If he worked as a tutor for 92 hours it would be 7*92= 644
736-92= 644
So our expression seems to be working.

Answer:

It would roll in this direction.

$\nu = (-a/\sqrt{a^2+b^2},-b/\sqrt{a^2+b^2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

It would roll to the direction of maximum decrease, which is the -1 times the direction of maximum increase, which is given by the gradient of the function.

Since

$z = ax^2 + by^2$
