Some ecologists divided a female bird population into three categories: juvenile left parenthesis up to 1 yr o l d right parenthesis comma subadult (1 to 2 yr old), and adult (over 2 yr old). They concluded that the change in the makeup of the bird population in successive years could be described by the matrix equation below. The numbers in the column matrices give the numbers of females in the three age groups after n years and n + 1 years.

Is there a direction u in which the rate of change of f(x,y)equals=x squared minus 3 xy plus 4 y squaredx2−3xy+4y2 at p(1,2) equals 14? give reasons for your answer. choose the correct answer below. a. no. the given rate of change is smaller than the minimum rate of change. b. no. the given rate of change is larger than the maximum rate of change. c. yes. the given rate of change is larger than the minimum rate of change and smaller than the maximum rate of change.
