Question
I will give thumbs up for the correct answer.
The following is a map with curves of the same elevation of a region in Orangerock National Park: y(meters) We define the altitude function, A(x, y), as the altitude at a point x meters east and y meters north of the origin ("Start") a Estimate A(300, 300) and A(500, 500). b. Estimate A_x(300, 300) and A_y(300, 300). C. What do A_x and A_y represent in physical terms? d. In which direction does the altitude increases most rapidly at the point (300, 300)? Use your estimate of A_x(300, 300) and A_y(300, 300) to approximate the altitude at (320, 310).Explanation / Answer
From the given question,
a) A(300,300)=70
A(500,500)=97
b)Ax(300,300)=(80-70)/(400-300)=0.1
Ay(300,300)=(82-70)/(400-300)=0.12
C)Ax represents change in altitude as we go towards east.
Ay represents change in altitude as we go towards north.
D)The altitude increases most rapidly in south direction at point (300,300)
