A particle begins at point (1, 2) and is moving along the line segment joining (1, 2) to (3, 4). Initially, what is the rate of

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Initially, that is, at (1,2), the rate of increase of the function in the direction given = 0

Hence the function is neither increasing nor decreasing initially in the given direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x,y) = 2x² - y²

Rate of Change of the function = ∇f = (fₓ, fᵧ)

And we're told to find the rate of change in a particular direction = ∇f.û

We first obtain the unit vector in that direction, û

Direction = (3,4) - (1,2) = (2,2)

Uni vector = vector/magnitude

Vector = 2î + 2j

magnitude = √(2² + 2²) = √8 = 2 √2

(2î + 2j)/(2√2) = (1/√2)î + (1/√2)j = û

Unit vector in the direction = (1/√2, 1/√2)

f = 2x² - y²

At (1,2)

fₓ = ∂f/∂x = 4x = 4

fᵧ = ∂f/∂y = -2y = -4

∇f = (4,-4)

∇f.û = (4î - 4j).((1/√2)î + (1/√2)j) = (4/√2) - (4/√2) = 0

If it was positive, then the function is increasing, if it was negative, the function is decreasing. Zero means neither of them.

Hence the function is neither increasing nor decreasing initially in the given direction.

Cting Polynomials: Practice

Colt1911 [192]

The option that's true regarding the sum and difference of the polynomial p(x) and b is B. The sum and difference of p(x) and b are polynomials.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

From the information given, it was stated that p(x) is a polynomial and is given as p(=) = a₁ + a₁ + a₂=² + ... + an.

In this case, it should be noted that the sum and difference of p(x) and b are polynomials.

They can't be integers as the function given is represented as a polynomial.

In conclusion, the correct option is B.

The athletic departments at 10 randomly selected U.S. universities were asked by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to

Lesechka [4]

Answer: Mean = 3.5 , median = 2.5, mode = 2, geometric mean = 2.74

Median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

The least appropriate = mean

Yes there is an outlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given responses : 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5.

First arrange them in increasing order, $\sqrt[10]{1\times1\times2\times2\times2\times3\times4\times5\times5\times10 }\\\\=\sqrt[10]{24000} \approx2.74$

Its sum = 35

Mean of n observations = (Sum of observations) ÷ n

Mean = (35) ÷ 10

=3.5

Here n =10 (even)

Median = average of middle most numbers = $\dfrac{2+3}{2}=\dfrac52=2.5$

Mode = most repeated number = 2 (thrice)

geometric mean = $\sqrt[n]{x_1\times x_2\times.... x_n}$

10 is an outlier as it is very large as compare to other numbers.

When outlier is present in data , the median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

Mean affected badly by the outlier so it the least appropriate.

An airplane takes 3 hours to travel a distance of 1680 miles with the wind. The return trip was 4 hours against wind. Find the s

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Speed of plane in still air: 490 mile/hour

speed of wind: 70 mile/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

still speed = x wind speed = w

with wind: speed = still + wind

(x+w) * 3 = 1680 ...a

against wind: speed = still - wind

(x-w) * 4 = 1680 ...b

b-a ... 4x-4w-3x-3w = 0

x-7w = 0

x = 7w

substitution: (7w+w)*3 = 1680 8w = 560 wind speed (w) = 70

still speed (x) = 7w = 490 mile/hour

On a number line 8.63 would be located where

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

It would be slightly higher than 8.5 and lower than 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

8.6 is bigger than 8.5, but it's smaller than 9, so you would place it in between the two but closer to the 8.5 mark.
