Find the directional derivative of the function at the given point in the direction of the vector v. f(x, y, z) = xey + yez + zex, (0, 0, 0), v = 4, 3, −1

6 / √26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that f(x, y, z) = xe^y + ye^z + ze^x

so first we compute the gradient vector at (0, 0, 0)

Δf ( x, y, z ) = [ e^y + ze^x,  xe^y + e^z,  ye^z + e^x ]

Δf ( 0, 0, 0 ) = [ e⁰ + 0(e)⁰, 0(e)⁰ + e⁰, 0(e)⁰ + e⁰ ] = [ 1+0 , 0+1, 0+1 ] = [ 1, 1, 1 ]

Now we were also given that  V = < 4, 3, -1 >

so ║v║ = √ ( 4² + 3² + (-1)² )

║v║ = √ ( 16 + 9 + 1 )

║v║ = √ 26

It must be noted that "v"  is not a unit vector but since ║v║ = √ 26, the unit vector in the direction of "V" is ⊆ = ( V / ║v║)

so

⊆ =  ( V / ║v║) = [ 4/√26, 3/√26, -1/√26 ]

therefore by equation   D⊆f ( x, y, z ) = Δf ( x, y, z ) × ⊆

D⊆f ( x, y, z ) = Δf ( 0, 0, 0 ) × ⊆ = [ 1, 1, 1 ] × [ 4/√26, 3/√26, -1/√26 ]

= ( 1×4 + 1×3 -1×1 ) / √26

= (4 + 3 - 1) / √26

= 6 / √26

answer: t=3

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
