valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

a) $\nabla f(x,y,z) = \sin{yz}\mathbf{i} + xz\cos{yz}\mathbf{j} + xy \cos{yz}\mathbf{k}$ .

b) $Du_{f}(2,4,0) = -\frac{8}{\sqrt{11}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function $f(x,y,z)$ , this function has the following gradient:

$\nabla f(x,y,z) = f_{x}(x,y,z)\mathbf{i} + f_{y}(x,y,z)\mathbf{j} + f_{z}(x,y,z)\mathbf{k}$ .

(a) find the gradient of f

We have that $f(x,y,z) = x\sin{yz}$ . So

$f_{x}(x,y,z) = \sin{yz}$

$f_{y}(x,y,z) = xz\cos{yz}$

$f_{z}(x,y,z) = xy \cos{yz}$ .

$\nabla f(x,y,z) = f_{x}(x,y,z)\mathbf{i} + f_{y}(x,y,z)\mathbf{j} + f_{z}(x,y,z)\mathbf{k}$ .

$\nabla f(x,y,z) = \sin{yz}\mathbf{i} + xz\cos{yz}\mathbf{j} + xy \cos{yz}\mathbf{k}$

(b) find the directional derivative of f at (2, 4, 0) in the direction of v = i + 3j − k.

The directional derivate is the scalar product between the gradient at (2,4,0) and the unit vector of v.

We have that:

$\nabla f(x,y,z) = \sin{yz}\mathbf{i} + xz\cos{yz}\mathbf{j} + xy \cos{yz}\mathbf{k}$

$\nabla f(2,4,0) = \sin{0}\mathbf{i} + 0\cos{0}\mathbf{j} + 8 \cos{0}\mathbf{k}$ .

$\nabla f(2,4,0) = 0i+0j+8k=(0,0,8)$

The vector is $v = i + 3j - k = (1,3,-1)$

To use v as an unitary vector, we divide each component of v by the norm of v.

$|v| = \sqrt{1^{2} + 3^{2} + (-1)^{2}} = \sqrt{11}$

So

$v_{u} = (\frac{1}{\sqrt{11}}, \frac{3}{\sqrt{11}}, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{11}})$

Now, we can calculate the scalar product that is the directional derivative.

$Du_{f}(2,4,0) = (0,0,8).(\frac{1}{\sqrt{11}}, \frac{3}{\sqrt{11}}, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{11}}) = -\frac{8}{\sqrt{11}}$

the ramirez family comes home from vacation to find their mailbox overflowing with mail. there are 6 more magazines than there a

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

9 magazines

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you will want to work backwards. Start with the junk mail. There is 18 junk mail and if there are 1/3 as many bills as junk mail then you will need to multiply 18 * 1/3. This equals 6 bills. If there is twice as many bills as letters then you will need to divide bills(6) by 2 which equals 3. If there are 6 more magazines than letters then you need to add 6 to the letters (3). 3 + 6 = 9

Which number is rational? –2.1010010001... –0.8974512... 1.2547569... 5.3333333...

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

5.3333333333

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is called a rational if it can be written in the form of p/q where p/q are integers and q≠0.

The terminating numbers are always a rational number.

The number 5.3333333... is a rational number.
