(a) If there is a scalar function f(x, y) such that ∇ f(x, y) = x² i + y² j, then
∂f/∂x = x²
∂f/∂y = y²
Integrating both of these equations with respect to x and y (respectively) gives
f(x, y) = 1/3 x³ + g(y)
f(x, y) = 1/3 y³ + h(x)
Differentiating with respect to the other variable gives
∂f/∂y = g'(y) = y²
∂f/∂x = h'(x) = x²
so it follows that
f(x, y) = 1/3 x³ + 1/3 y³ + C
for some constant C.
(b) By the gradient theorem,
The given trinagle is a right angle triangle. let the missing side be x. To find x, we would apply the pythagorean theorem which is expressed as
hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2
From the triangle,
hypotenuse = 14
one leg = 9
other leg = x
Thus, we have
To the nearest tenth, the length of the third side is 10.7
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand parentheses:
Move all y's to one side and numbers to the other:
Divide both sides by -6. Since you are dividing both sides by a negative number, you need to flip the comparator:
