Part A
The equation is b = 36*a or simply b = 36a
We take the size of the farm 'a' and multiply it by 36 to get the number of bushels of corn 'b'.
-----------------------------------
Part B
The 36 means there are 36 times more bushels of corn compared to the size of the farm in acres
For example, if the size is 2 acres then
b = 36*a
b = 36*2
b = 72
yielding 72 bushels of corn
-----------------------------------
Part C
Along the first row you should have: 25 and 30 in the missing blanks (over 900 and 1080 respectively)
You find this by dividing the value of b over 36
eg: b/36 = 900/36 = 25
-------
Then along the bottom row you should have the following for the blanks: 0, 360, 1800
These values are found by multiplying the 'a' value by 36
eg: if a = 10 then b = 36*a = 36*10 = 360
-----------------------------------
Part D
Plot any two points you want from the table back in part C
So plot say (0,0) and (10,360). Then draw a straight line through those two points.
-----------------------------------
Part E
The point (30,1080) means a = 30 and b = 1080
So if the farm is 30 acres, then it can produce 1080 bushels of corn
Notice how
b = 36*a
b = 36*30 <<-- replace 'a' with 30
b = 180
And how this matches up with the fourth column of the table in part C. So you can use this part to get a hint of how to fill out the table (or at least know what one column looks like)
Answer:
a) (8,8,-6)
b) 4x+4y+3z = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
The surface is given by the equation
f(x,y,z) = 0 where
The gradient of this function is the vector
If we evaluate it in the point P = (-2,2,1) we obtain the point
(8,8,-6)
b)
The vectors with their tails at P are of the form
(-2,2,1)-(x,y,z) = (-2-x, 2-y, 1-z)
as they must be orthogonal to the gradient, they must be orthogonal to the vector (8,8,6) so their inner product is 0
and the equation of the desired plane is
4x+4y+3z = -3
The square root of pi is 1.77245385091.
Subtraction. you subtract 5 from both sides.
