suppose you are on a hill described by z = 1000 - 0.01x^2 - 0.02y^2 where x, y, z are measured in meters.
you are standing at point (50, 80, 847), and the positive x axis points east and the positive y axis points north.

if you walk due south, will you ascend or descend? at what rate?

I'm really not sure, but I got an answer of ascend at rate of 3.2 meters.
please help, thanks

Which college do you think is better: Univeristy of Utah or Utah State Univeristy.
I am debating between of these two for a double major in Computer Science and Computer Engeneering. (which is likely to change but that's where I am right now). Utah State is known for its Engeneering program- so that is a big plus. But they both have their pluses and minuses.

I'm writing an essay for school, and my teacher said that I don't have to follow the 5-paragraph model. I have an introduction for my first paragraph, and for my second one I sort of have a more in-depth look into the introduction. Then I have 2 body paragraphs, and then a conclusion. Does that sound okay?

The local school I'm looking at is regionally accredited(North Central Association for Colleges and Schools), but there masters programs(such as MBA and MLS), haven't received accreditation yet, but are trying to get it. Does it really matter that much if these programs haven't received specific accreditations, but still come from a regionally accredited school?

I need something it could be anything that has to do with the food pyramid, the nutrients, the groups of food, or anything that has a food item on it. My teacher said that it could be anything just be creative, well that didn't help me much. One of her other students made an example for her last year and it just said FOOD, it was really large and it had different food items on the words. I might do something like that because I don't want to spend all of my life on an extra credit project. Any suggestions or tips will help. Thank you very much. Any advice will help on not messing up on my first three tries.
