(a) Show that a differentiable function f decreases most rapidly at x in the direction opposite the gradient vector, that is, in the direction of −∇f(x). Let θ be the angle between ∇f(x) and unit vector u. Then Du f = |∇f| cos(theta) . Since the minimum value of cos(theta) is -1 occurring, for 0 ≤ θ < 2π, when θ = π , the minimum value of Du f is −|∇f|, occurring when the direction of u is the opposite of. the direction of ∇f (assuming ∇f is not zero). (b) Use the result of part (a) to find the direction in which the function f(x, y) = x^(3)y − x^(2)y^(3) decreases fastest at the point (4, −4)

$9.89

step-by-step explanation:

9.90 = p x .06 x .25 (3/12 changed to a decimal)

9.90 = p x 0.015

9.90 - 0.015 = p

9.89 = p

see attached

step-by-step explanation:

given the function as;

write the equation replacing f(x) with y

form   and fill a table containing values of y with corresponding values of x

you can take a range for   values of x as -3≤x≤3

solving for x=-3

for x=-2

repeat the same procedure to get the values of y for the remaining ,x=-1 to x=3

plot the values of y against values   of x and obtain the following graph

answer:   y=2x-3

step-by-step explanation:

she was supposed to add the hours(38.5) and multiply the amount of money she earned(7.50) resulting in $288.75 .

correct me if i'm wrong and if it is i'm truly sorry.
