Let the curve C be the intersection of the cylinder  



16x^2+y^2=16



and the plane



x+y+z=1



The projection of C on to the x-y plane is the ellipse



16x^2+y^2=16



To see clearly that this is an ellipse, le us divide through by 16, to get



\frac{x^2}{1}+ \frac{y^2}{16}=1



or  



\frac{x^2}{1^2}+ \frac{y^2}{4^2}=1,



We can write the following parametric equations,



x=cos(t), y=4sin(t)



for  



0\le t \le 2\pi



Since C lies on the plane,



x+y+z=1



it must satisfy its equation.



Let us make z the subject first,  



z=1-x-y



This implies that,



z=1-sin(t)-4cos(t)



We can now write the vector equation of C, to obtain,



r(t)=(cos(t),4sin(t),1-cos(t)-4sin(t))



The length of the curve of the intersection of the cylinder and the plane is now given by,



\int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {|r'(t)|} \, dt



But  



r'(t)=(-sin(t),4cos(t),sin(t)-4cos(t))



|r'(t)|=\sqrt{(-sin(t))^2+(4cos(t))^2+(sin(t)-4cos(t))}



\int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {\sqrt{2sin^2(t)+32cos(t)-8sin(t)cos(t)} }\, dt=24.08778184



Therefore the length of the curve of the intersection  intersection of the cylinder and the plane is 24.0878 units correct to four decimal places.

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line with negative slope goes through (0, 1) and (2, negative 2). Everything to the lef
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

y

Step-by-step explanation:

The straight line passes through (0,1) and (2,-2).

Equation of a straight line passing through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

is given by:

y-y_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x_{1})

y-1=\frac{-2-1}{2-0}(x-0)

y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1

Everything to the left of the line is shaded.

We have to visualize the graph:the straight line has a positive y-intercept and a negative slope.The graph is given in the attachment below.

From the figure we can see origin lies on the shaded region.Hence (0,0) should satisfy the inequality.

LHS=y=0

RHS=-\frac{3x}{2}+1=1\ (x=0)

LHS<RHS as 0<1

Hence , the inequality is:

y

Wrench sets designed for SI bolts often include wrenches at 1 mm increments while wrench sets designed for imperial bolts often
juin [17]
So 5/8 inches to milimeters
we know that 1 in=2.54 cm so
5/8 in times 2.54= 1.5875 cm
1 cm=10 mm
1.5875 cm times 10=15.875mm aprox 16 mm, but best to go smaller since it won't fit if bigger

answer: 16mm (my recomendation would be 15mm)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -5) and<br> (-5, -1)?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

y=mx+b

y=-4/5x+5b

Step-by-step explanation:

(0,-5)

(-5,-1)

-1+5 is 4

-5-0 is -5

-4/5 is the slope

use one of the points and substitute x to find the y intercept, which gives you the full equation, which is y=-4/5x+5
