Level curves for barometric pressure (in millibars) are shown for 6:00 AM on November 10, 1998. A deep low with pressure 972 mb

is moving over northeast Iowa. The distance along the red line from K (Kearney, Nebraska) to S (Sioux City, Iowa) is 300 km. Estimate the value of the directional derivative of the pressure function at Kearney in the direction of Sioux City.

Answer: the value of the directional derivative of the pressure function at Kearney in the direction of Sioux City is - 0.09 mb/km

Step-by-step explanation:

lets make an assumption that P is the pressure of the function

Now to estimate the value of the directional derivative of the pressure function at Kearney in the direction of Sioux City wil be DuP

The initial point of the line joining the point of kearney and sioux lays on the level curve which represent 1000mb of pressure

and the terminal point of the line joining the point of kearney and sioux lays on the level curve which represent 972 mb of pressure

so let our X1 = 1000 mb

X2 = 972 mb

the given distance between kearney and sioux d = 300 km

so the directional derivative DuP at Kearney in the direction of Sioux City is approximated by finding the average rate change of the pressure between the points

so DuP  = (X2 - X1) / d

= (972 - 1000) / 300

= -28 / 300

= - 0.09 mb/km

Therefore the value of the directional derivative of the pressure function at Kearney in the direction of Sioux City is - 0.09 mb/km

NeTakaya

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have a sample of 200 people, they were asked their primary source of news, categorized in (1) Television, (2) Radio, (3) Internet and (4) Other.

And your objective is to test if the proportions in this sample follow the known frequencies 10%, 30%, 50%, and 10%.

The propper statistic test to use to probe if the sample follows the known or historical distribution is Chi-Square goodness of fit test. In this test, what you state in the null hypothesis is the model or distribution you want to test. In this case, you've to write down the proportions for each category:

H₀: P(1)= 0.10; P(2)= 0.30; P(3)= 0.50; P(4)= 0.10

I hope you have a SUPER day!

After getting 10% discount a customer paid RS 2034 with 13% VAT to buy a bag from a retailer. If the retailer made a profit of 2
german

Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the customer paid Rs. 2034 after getting 10% discount with 13% vat on marked price (m.p.)

hence:-

2034 = m.p. × 90/100 × 113/100

m.p = (2034 × 100 × 100)/(90 × 113)

m.p. = Rs.2000

Now, due to the fact that VAT (which in this question is given to be 13%) is not the profit of the retailer, thus the selling price (s.p.) of the bag would be given by;

s.p = m.p. × 90/100

s.p = 2000 × 90/100

s.p = Rs. 1800

We are told that the retailer made a profit of 20%

Thus:-

c.p. × 120/100 = s.p.

c.p.= s.p. × 100/120

c.p.= 1800 × 100/120

c.p. = Rs.1500

Therefore, the percentage with which he marked above the c.p is;

% mark up = (m.p - c.p)/c.p) × 100

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(2000 - 1500)/1500) × 100

(500/1500) × 100 = 33.33%

The area of a square is stored in a double variable named area. write an expression whose value is length of the diagonal of the
lbvjy [14]

First of all, a bit of theory: since the area of a square is given by

A = s^2

where s is the length of the square. So, if we invert this function we have

s = \sqrt{A}.

Moreover, the diagonal of a square cuts the square in two isosceles right triangles, whose legs are the sides, so the diagonal is the hypothenuse and it can be found by

d = \sqrt{s^2+s^2} = \sqrt{2s^2} = s\sqrt{2}

So, the diagonal is the side length, multiplied by the square root of 2.

With that being said, your function could be something like this:

double diagonalFromArea(double area) {

double side = Math.sqrt(area);

double diagonal = side * Math.sqrt(2);

return diagonal;

}

Which graph represents a function?
Agata [3.3K]
The fourth one because to know if it is a function or not it has to pass the vertical line test the first one when you draw a vertical line some of the lines repeats so does the second and third but the last one when you draw a vertical line it doesn't repeat s that means its a function
