Find the second–order partial derivative.
Find fxy when f(x, y) = 8xexy.
Under certain conditions the wind speed S, in miles per hour, of a tornado at a distance d from its
center can be approximated by the function S =aV
0.51d6, where a is an atmospheric constant, and V
is the approximate volume of the tornado, in cubic feet. Assume that a is 0.78, and find SV.
A company’s monthly sales, in thousands, is given by S(x, y) =9x0.8y0.5, where x is the amount
spent on newspaper advertising per month in thousands of dollars and y is the amount spent on
radio advertising per month in thousands of dollars. Suppose the company currently spends $5000
on newspaper advertising per month and $3000 on radio advertising per month. What would be
the effect on sales if the company increases the amount spent on newspaper advertising to $6000,
while the amount spent on radio advertising remains constant?
Sales would decrease by $871.49.
Sales would increase by $70,463.55.
Sales would increase by $9415.16.
Sales would increase by $8714.91.
Find the partial derivative.
Let z = f(x, y) =x3– 4x2y + 7xy3. Find z
x.
