Towns X, Y, and Z are on the same straight road. Town Y is between Town X and Town Z. Town X is 57 miles from Town Z, and Town Y

is 28 miles from Town Z. What is the distance from Town X to Town Y?

29 miles
because town y is between town x and town z so you can take the distance between town x and town z and subtract the distance from town y to town z

A game contains 3 bags of green chips 2 bags of red chips and 5 bags og yellow chips. there ard 25 green chips in a bag and 30 r

nika2105 [10]

1 game has 3 bags of green chips ; 2 bags of red chips ; 5 bags of yellow chips
1 bag: 25 green chips
1 bag: 30 red chips

total number of chips:
green: 3 x 25 = 75
red: 2 x 30 = 60
yellow: 75 + 60 = 135 answer to part a.

75 + 60 + 135 = 270 total number of chips.

270 / 54 = 5 players. answer to part b.

Each of the 5 players will have 15 green chips, 12 red chips, and 27 yellow chips, for a total of 54 chips.

Change each of the following points from rectangular coordinates to spherical coordinates and to cylindrical coordinates.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Spherical coordinate describes a location of a point in space: one distance (ρ) and two angles (Ф,θ).To transform cartesian coordinates into spherical coordinates:

$\rho = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}$

$\phi = cos^{-1}\frac{z}{\rho}$

For angle θ:

If x > 0 and y > 0: $\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$ ;

If x < 0: $\theta = \pi + tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$ ;
If x > 0 and y < 0: $\theta = 2\pi + tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$ ;

Calculating:

a) (4,2,-4)

$\rho = \sqrt{4^{2}+2^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$ = 6

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{-4}{6})$

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{-2}{3})$

For θ, choose 1st option:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{2}{4})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$

b) (0,8,15)

$\rho = \sqrt{0^{2}+8^{2}+(15)^{2}}$ = 17

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{15}{17})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$

The angle θ gives a tangent that doesn't exist. Analysing table of sine, cosine and tangent: θ = $\frac{\pi}{2}$

c) (√2,1,1)

$\rho = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}$ = 2

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$

$\phi$ = $\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

d) (−2√3,−2,3)

$\rho = \sqrt{(-2\sqrt{3} )^{2}+(-2)^{2}+3^{2}}$ = 5

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{3}{5})$

Since x < 0, use 2nd option:

$\theta = \pi + tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$

$\theta = \pi + \frac{\pi}{6}$

$\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}$

Cilindrical coordinate describes a 3 dimension space: 2 distances (r and z) and 1 angle (θ). To express cartesian coordinates into cilindrical:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$

Angle θ is the same as spherical coordinate;

z = z

Calculating:

a) (4,2,-4)

$r=\sqrt{4^{2}+2^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{20}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{2}$

z = -4

b) (0, 8, 15)

$r=\sqrt{0^{2}+8^{2}}$ = 8

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$

z = 15

c) (√2,1,1)

$r=\sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^{2}+1^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{3}$

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$

z = 1

d) (−2√3,−2,3)

$r=\sqrt{(-2\sqrt{3} )^{2}+(-2)^{2}}$ = 4

$\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}$

z = 3
