Answer:
There are total 30 books in the 5 feet high stack of books.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
Given, Each note book is 2 inches thick, How many notebooks do you think it would take to make a stack that is 5 feet high
Solution
Thickness of each book 
The total height of the book stack is
feet.
The number of books in the stack is equal to total height of the stack divided by the thickness of one book
Number of books in five feet high stack is

Hence, there are total 30 books in the 5 feet high stack of books.
We are given

Firstly, we can find gradient
so, we will find partial derivatives





now, we can plug point (-5,5,2)



so, gradient will be

now, we are given that
it is in direction of v=⟨−3,2,−4⟩
so, we will find it's unit vector


now, we can find unit vector

now, we can find dot product to find direction of the vector

now, we can plug values


.............Answer
Let k be the scale factor relating two similar prisms

and

, such that for corresponding parts of prisms

and

(for heights, in particular) we have

. In our case

.
For surfaces area we have

.
So, the right answer is 4:25 (choice B)
I count five 'k's there, so that part of the expression is
k⁵ .
Two 'n's form the rest of it, so that part is n² .
The parts are multiplied, so the simplest form of the expression is
k⁵ n² .
