The function \(f\) is homogeneous of degree \(n\) if \(f(t x, t y)=t^{n} f(x, y) .\) Determine the degree of the homogeneous function, and show that \(x f_{x}(x, y)+y f_{y}(x, y)=n f(x, y)\) \(f(x, y)=e^{x / y}\)
Find \(d^{2} w / d t^{2}\) using the appropriate Chain Rule. Evaluate \(d^{2} w / d t^{2}\) at the given value of \(t\) \(w=\frac{x^{2}}{y}, \quad x=t^{2}, \quad y=t+1, \quad t=1\)
In Exercises 31 and 32, the parametric equations for the paths of two projectiles are given. At what rate is the distance between the two objects changing at the given value of \(t ?\) \(x_{1}=10 \cos 2 t, y_{1}=6 \sin 2 t\) \(x_{2}=7 \cos t, y_{2}=4 \sin t\) \(t=\pi / 2\)
In your own words, give a geometric description of the directional derivative of \(z=f(x, y)\).
Find \(d w / d t\) (a) using the appropriate Chain Rule and (b) by converting \(w\) to a function of \(t\) before differentiating. \(w=x y+x z+y z, \quad x=t-1, \quad y=t^{2}-1, \quad z=t\)
