medals so far. how many of these have been won by short athletes?

Well lets say y = the amount of medals won. lets say x is the amount won by short people and z is the amount won by tall. we know that the total medals is the total medals won by short and tall so:
y = x + z

it says that tall people are 3.times more likely. this would mean they won three times more than short people. so
z = 3x.

so if we know what z equals, we can replace z with what it is equal to. so:
y = x + z
y = x + 3x
y = 4x

we know that 60 medals were won so
y = 4x
60 = 4x
x = 15

that is the amount won by short people

Sue Jones is insured for bodily injury in the amount of 10/20. She is at fault in an accident in which Albert Smith is injured.
lianna [129]
For this case, what you should know is that Sue Jones insurance covers half of the expenses. Equivalently, her insurance covers:
 10/20 = 1/2 = 0.5
 Therefore, we have then that
 a. for Albert 
 0.5 * (12000) = $ 6000
 b. for Sam 
 0.5 * (8000) = $ 4000
 c. total
 The sum of the results of parts a and b
 $ 6000 + $ 4000 = $ 10,000
 answer
 $ 6000
 $ 4000
 $ 10,000

EXAMPLE 5 If F(x, y, z) = 4y2i + (8xy + 4e4z)j + 16ye4zk, find a function f such that ∇f = F. SOLUTION If there is such a functi
Valentin [98]

If there is such a scalar function <em>f</em>, then

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=4y^2

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=8xy+4e^{4z}

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=16ye^{4z}

Integrate both sides of the first equation with respect to <em>x</em> :

f(x,y,z)=4xy^2+g(y,z)

Differentiate both sides with respect to <em>y</em> :

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=8xy+4e^{4z}=8xy+\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}

\implies\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=4e^{4z}

Integrate both sides with respect to <em>y</em> :

g(y,z)=4ye^{4z}+h(z)

Plug this into the equation above with <em>f</em> , then differentiate both sides with respect to <em>z</em> :

f(x,y,z)=4xy^2+4ye^{4z}+h(z)

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=16ye^{4z}=16ye^{4z}+\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}

\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}=0

Integrate both sides with respect to <em>z</em> :

h(z)=C

So we end up with

\boxed{f(x,y,z)=4xy^2+4ye^{4z}+C}

Which value represents |7.8|?
nika2105 [10]
Since absolute value is just taking the positive value of whatever you put in the function, it is 7.8 as well. Also, absolute value can be described as the distance from 0 on the number line. 7.8 is 7.8 "units" away from 0, thus meaning it is equal to 7.8.
