Answer:

(x - 5)^2 + (y - 4)^2 + (z - 6)^2 = 14.

(Expand to obtain an equivalent expression for the sphere: x^2 - 10\,x + y^2 - 8\, y + z^2 - 12\, z + 63 = 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between these two endpoints:

\begin{aligned}&\text{Distance}\cr &= \sqrt{\left(x_2 - x_1\right)^2 + \left(y_2 - y_1\right)^2 + \left(z_2 - z_1\right)^2} \cr &= \sqrt{(6 - 4)^2 + (6 - 2)^2 + ((-3) - (-9))^2 \cr &= \sqrt{56}}\end{aligned}.

Since the two endpoints form a diameter of the sphere, the distance between them would be equal to the diameter of the sphere. The radius of a sphere is one-half of its diameter. In this case, that would be equal to:

\begin{aligned} r &= \frac{1}{2} \, \sqrt{56} \cr &= \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \times 56} \cr &= \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} \times 56} \cr &= \sqrt{14} \end{aligned}.

In a sphere, the midpoint of every diameter would be the center of the sphere. Each component of the midpoint of a segment (such as the diameter in this question) is equal to the arithmetic mean of that component of the two endpoints. In other words, the midpoint of a segment between \left(x_1, \, y_1, \, z_1\right) and \left(x_2, \, y_2, \, z_2\right) would be:

\displaystyle \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2}\right).

In this case, the midpoint of the diameter, which is the same as the center of the sphere, would be at:

\begin{aligned}&\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2}\right) \cr &= \left(\frac{4 + 6}{2},\, \frac{2 + 6}{2}, \, \frac{(-9) + (-3)}{2}\right) \cr &= (5,\, 4\, -6)\end{aligned}.

The equation for a sphere of radius r and center \left(x_0,\, y_0,\, z_0\right) would be:

\left(x - x_0\right)^2 + \left(y - y_0\right)^2 + \left(z - z_0\right)^2 = r^2.

In this case, the equation would be:

\left(x - 5\right)^2 + \left(y - 4\right)^2 + \left(z - (-6)\right)^2 = \left(\sqrt{56}\right)^2.

Simplify to obtain:

\left(x - 5\right)^2 + \left(y - 4\right)^2 + \left(z + 6\right)^2 = 56.

Expand the squares and simplify to obtain:

x^2 - 10\,x + y^2 - 8\, y + z^2 - 12\, z + 63 = 0.

That would be simplified into

i don’t know what the choices are bc you didn’t put them but hopefully this does someone some good <3

I will give brainiest to whoever answers correctly !! There are two parts to this question A and B
laila [671]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 1/2%=0.024

3500 x 0.025 = 87.5

She paid 87.5$ dollars for the use of money

due date is after 6 months so

3500 times 6 = 21000

21000 times 0.025 = 525

She paid 525$ dollars on the due date

Jade says that the absolute value of a number and the opposite of a number is the same thing. Is Jade correct? Use examples to h
avanturin [10]

Answer:

No, the absolute value of a number is different from the opposite.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the absolute value of 4 is 4.

l4l = 4

But the opposite of 4 is -4.

Absolute value is ALWAYS positive, but the opposite of a positive number is a negative number.

Se golpea (chuta) un balón sobre el piso y sale dando botes parabólicos cada vez menores. Si se lanzo inicialmente con una veloc
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

a)d = 180,91 m

b)t = 11,76 seg

Step-by-step explanation:

Para el lanzamiento de proyectil, la ecuación que nos da la velocidad en V(y) es:

V(y)  = Voy - g*t

en donde Voy = Vo * senα    ( donde Vo es la velocidad inicial, α el angulo del disparo.

Si en esta ecuación hacemos V(y) = 0 estamos en el punto donde el componente en el eje y de la velocidad del proyectil es cero, ese punto es el punto medio del recorrido.

0 =  Vo*sen 60⁰     - g*t

g*t  =  Vo* √3/2

t  = { 32 [m/s] * √3 }2*9,8 [m/s²]

t = 16*√3  / 9,8

t = 2,8278 seg

El tiempo total del primer recorrido es entonces por simetría

t₁ = 2 * 2,8278           t₁  = 5,6556 seg

La distancia del primer impacto al suelo es:

x = Vox * t₁                        ( Vox es constante   Vx = Vo*cos 60⁰ )

x  =  32 * (1/2) * 5,6556

x₁  =  90,49 m

Aplicando los mismos criterios ahora para el segundo bote

Ahora Vo = 32 -  32*(1/4)

V = 24 m/s

g*t  =  24 * sen 50⁰

t =  24* 0,7660/ 9,8  

t =  1,8759

2*t  = 2*1,8759

t₂  = 3,7518 seg

x₂  =  Vox * t₂

x₂  =  24* 0,6428*3,7518

x₂  =  57,88 m

Y para el tercer bote Vo =  24 - 24(1/4)        Vo = 18 m/s     α = 40⁰

t = 18 *0,6428/9,8

t  = 1,18

2t  = t₃  = 2*1,18

t₃ = 2,36 seg

x₃  = Vox * 2,36                Vox = Vo*cos 40      Vox = 18*0,7660  

Vox = 13,79

x₃  = 13,79*2,36

x₃  = 32,54 m

La distancia total será

d = x₁  + x₂ + x₃

d  =  90,49  + 57,88 + 32,54

d = 180,91 m

y el tiempo total será la suma de los tiempos

t =  t₁  +  t₂  +  t₃

t  = 5,65 + 3,75 + 2,36

t = 11,76 seg

pshichka [43]
219-132 is the equation because the rest of the 219 comes from the girls who signed up. the answer is 77. To find how many more boys than girls signed up you need to subtract 77 from 132. 132-77= 55
