Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let s be the snowman, g be the girl, and t be the christmas tree

2s+g=24

2t+2ts=132

3t+2g=26

subtract 2 times the first equation from the third one to get

3t-4s=-22

from the second equation we can deduce

2t(1+s)=132

t(1+s)=66

t=66/(1+s)

Substitute:

3(66)/(1+s)-4s=-22

3(66)/(1+s)=4s-22

3(66)=(4s-22)(1+s)

3(66)=-18s+4s^2-22

4s^2-18s-220=0

using the quadratic formula, we get s = 10, s = -5.5.

2(10)+g=24

g=4

2t(1+10)=132

2t=12

t=6

So 2s+t*g= 20+6*4=48

you would get a different solution for the negative s, but since snowmen cannot be negative, 48 is the answe.r

Pentagon DEFGH is translated 4 units to the right to create pentagon UVXYZ. DE is 5cm long. What is the length of UV?

Semmy [17]

If a shape is translated (has it's vertex' coordinates moved/changed), then it retains its original values but just has different vertex coordinates.

Thus since DE is equal to UV, then,

DE = UV; substitution:
5=5

Determine whether or not the vector field is conservative. if it is conservative, find a function f such that f = ∇f. (if the ve

Akimi4 [234]

A three-dimensional vector field is conservative if it is also irrotational, i.e. its curl is $\mathbf 0$ . We have

$\nabla\times\mathbf f(x,y,z)=-2e^{-x}\,\mathbf k$

so this vector field is not conservative.

- - -

Another way of determining the same result: We want to find a scalar function $f(x,y,z)$ such that its gradient is equal to the given vector field, $\mathbf f(x,y,z)$ :

$\nabla f(x,y,z)=\mathbf f(x,y,z)$

For this to happen, we need to satisfy

$\begin{cases}f_x=ye^{-x}\\f_y=e^{-x}\\f_z=2z\end{cases}$

From the first equation, integrating with respect to $x$ yields

$f_x=ye^{-x}\implies f(x,y,z)=-ye^{-x}+g(y,z)$

Note that $g$ *must* be a function of $y,z$ only.

Now differentiate with respect to $y$ and we have

$f_y=-e^{-x}+g_y=e^{-x}\implies g_y=2e^{-x}\implies g(y,z)=2ye^{-x}+\cdots$

but this contradicts the assumption that $g(y,z)$ is independent of $x$ . So, the scalar potential function does not exist, and therefore the vector field is not conservative.
