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.

-1/4 + f/8 = 1/2.
The LCD is 8.  Rewrite this equation as    -8/4 + 8f/8 = 8(1/2) and then reduce the result:

-2 + f = =4

Then f = 6.

You should check this result.

What’s the correct answer for this?
slava [35]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the probabilities as following:

Probability that a teenager has a sister:

P(A) = 12/28

Probability that a teenager has a brother:

P(B) = 7/28

Probability that a teenager has both a sister and a brother:

P(A⋂B) = 3/28

Probability that a selected teenager has a sister also has a brother, or in other words, he/she has a brother, given he/she had a sister:

P(B|A)

Let's apply the formula of conditional probability to work out P(B|A)

P(B|A) = P(A⋂B)/P(A) = (3/28)/(12/28) = (3*28)/(12*28) = 3/12 = 1/4

=> Option C is correct

Hope this helps!

Solve for 5+n/8=4 show your work
Aleks [24]

Answer:

n = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

5+n/8=4

Subtract 5 from each side

5-5+n/8=4-5

n/8 = -1

Multiply each side by 8

n/8 * 8 = -1 *8

n = -8
