A local store is having a sale on pecans. The following graph shows the number of remaining pounds of pecans for every hour during the sales event. A coordinate plane. X-axis is labeled Time in hours. Y-axis is labeled Pecans in pounds. A graph of a linear function that contains points (0, 18) and (36, 0).

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.
