- 2. Suppose that U(x, y, z) = x² + y²+ z² represents the temperature of a 3-dimensional solid object at any point (x, y, z). Then F(x, y, z) = -KVU (x, y, z) represents the heat flow at (x, y, z) where K > 0 is called the conductivity constant and the negative sign indicates that the heat moves from higher temperature region into lower temperature region. Answer the following questions. (A) [90%] Compute the inward heat flux (i.e., the inward flux of F) across the surface z = 1 - x² - y². (B) [10%] Use the differential operator(s) to determine if the heat flow is rotational or irrotational.arrow_forwardCould you show why the answer is B Using polar coordinates and the area formulaarrow_forward1. The parametric equations x = u, y = u cos v, z = usin v, with Ou≤ 2, 0 ≤ v ≤ 2π represent the cone that is obtained by revolving (about x-axis) the line y = x (for 0 ≤ x ≤2) in the xy-plane. Answer the following questions. (A) [50%] Sketch the cone and compute its surface area, which is given by dS = [ | Ər Or ди მა × du dv with S being the cone surface and D being the projection of S on the uv-plane. (B) [50%] Suppose that the density of the thin cone is σ(x, y, z) = 0.25x gr/cm². Compute the total mass of the cone.arrow_forward

The overall results are shown in the first bar graph, and the results broken down by gender are presented in the second. a. Interpret the results of each graph. b. Discuss the added value in including gen- der in the second bar graph. (The second bar graph in this problem is called a side by side bar graph and is often used to show results broken down by two or more variables.) c. Compare the side by side bar graph with the two pie charts that you made for Question 6. Which of the two methods is best for comparing two groups, in your opinion?
