9 A skier travelling in a straight line up a hill experiences a constant deceleration. At the bottom of the hill, the skier has a speed of 16ms- and, after moving up
the hill for 40 s, he comes to rest. Find:
a the deceleration of the skier
b the distance from the bottom of the hill to the point where the skier comes to rest.

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.
