Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of the lengths of the 2 segments of the Hypotenuse.

so the square of the height is then the product of the 2 line segments of the Hypotenuse.

therefore

AC² = DC × BC

Paige borrows $700 from her parents for a new computer. She repays $100 the first month, then begins to repay her parents $75 pe

GrogVix [38]

The recursive formula that models the amount owed is
an = a(n-1) -75; a1 = 600.
This formula is for AFTER the first month of payment, this is why the first term is 700-100 = 600. This also means that n > 1.

A hiker is hiking in a valley. The height of the valley is h(x,y)=4x2+y2 where x and y are the east-west and north-south distanc

Ainat [17]

Answer:

A. $\frac{\partial{h}}{\partial{t}}=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The problems asked for 2 ways to solve it, expanding the equation with the substitution x(t)=2 cos(t) and y(t)=4 sin(t) to differentiate it . The other way is by chain rule.

Expanding and differentiating:

We start by substituting x(t)=2 cos(t) and y(t)=4 sin(t) in h(x,y)=4x2+y2:

$h(x,y)=4x^{2}+y^{2}= 4(2cos(t))^{2}+(4sin(t))^{2}\\h(x,y)=4(4cos^{2}(t))+(16sen^{2}(t))\\h(x,y)=16cos^{2}(t)+16sen^{2}(t)=16(sen^{2}(t)+cos^{2}(t))\\h(x,y)=16$

So, in the path that the hiker chose:

$\frac{\partial{h}}{\partial{t}}=0$

Chain rule:

We start differentiating h(x,y) using chain rule as follows:

$\frac{\partial{h}}{\partial{t}}= \frac{\partial{h}}{\partial{x}}\frac{\partial{x}}{\partial{t}}+\frac{\partial{h}}{\partial{y}}\frac{\partial{y}}{\partial{t}}$

Now, it´s easy to find all these derivatives:

$\frac{\partial{h}}{\partial{x}}=8x\\\frac{\partial{x}}{\partial{t}}=-2sin(t)\\\frac{\partial{h}}{\partial{y}}=2y\\\frac{\partial{y}}{\partial{t}}=4cos(t)$
