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.

Answer:

<h2><em><u>[-8, 7] also, - 8 ≤ y ≤ 7</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>As we</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>know</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

Range : Is how far the graph goes from down to up.

So here,

Furthest down point of y = - 8

Furthest upper point of y = 7

<em><u>Hence</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

Range will be <em>[-8, 7] also, - 8 ≤ y ≤ 7</em>
