Given,

The number of paper clips used for 9 cm paper is 3.

Consider, the number of paper clips used for 15 cm paper,

By proportionality,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{9}=\frac{x}{15} \\ 3\times15=9\times x \\ \frac{45}{9}=x \\ x=5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the number of paper clips used for 15 cm of paper is equal to 5.

Find a point on the ellipsoid x2+y2+4z2=36x2+y2+4z2=36 where the tangent plane is perpendicular to the line with parametric equa

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

A point on the ellipsoid is (-4,2,2) or (4,-2,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of ellipsoid f(x,y,z) : $x^2+y^2+4z^2=36$

Parametric equations:

x=-4t-1

y=2t+1

z=8t+3

Finding the gradient of function

$\nabla f(x,y,z)=\\\nabla f(x,y,z)=$

So, The directions vectors=(-4,2,8)

Now the line is perpendicular to plane when direction vector is parallel to the normal vector of line

$\nablaf(x,y,z)=(2x,2y,8z)=\lambda(-4,2,8)$

So, $2x=-4\lambda$

$\Rightarrow x=-2\lambda$

$2y=2\lambda\\\Rightarrow y=\lambda\\8z=8\lambda\\\Rightarrow z=\lambda$

Substitute the value of x , y and z in the ellipsoid equation

$(2\lambda)^2+(\lambda)^2+4(\lambda)^2=36\\9(\lambda)^2=36\\\lambda^2=4\\\lambda=\pm 2$

With $\lambda = 2$

x=-2(2)=-4

y=2

z=2

With $\lambda =- 2$

x=-2(-2)=4

y=-2

z=-2

Hence a point on the ellipsoid is (-4,2,2) or (4,-2,-2)

the answer is b

X is a bigger number and the difference between x and y is 7, so x-y=7. And it says that the sum of two numbers is 31 so x+y=31
