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.

The probability of a football team winning a game is three fifths. If they play 45 games in a season, how many games would you e
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

27 games

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of them winning is 3 out of 5 games.

First, multiply 45 by \frac{3}{5}

\frac{45}{1} *\frac{3}{5}

\frac{135}{5}

27 games.

<u />

You could also just multiply 45 by 3 then divide by 5. Mostly the same thing

I hope this helps!

1.Anthony has decided to purchase a $19,000 car. He plans to put 20% down toward the purchase and to finance the rest at a 6.8%
Nikitich [7]
<h2>First step/Equation</h2>

Answer:

 $362.57

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable calculator or finance app can find the monthly payment for you. This result comes from a TI-84 calculator.

___

The second attachment shows the parameters of the payment function. With 20% down, Anthony is only financing 80% of the price of his car. Of course, there are 12 months in a year, so 4 years worth of payments will be 48 payments. The calculator uses negative values for amounts you pay.

___

No doubt your reference material shows you a formula for computing loan payments. One such is ...

 A = Pr/(1 -(1+r)^-n)

where r is the monthly interest rate, 0.068/12, and n is the number of payments, 48. The principal amount of the loan, P, will be 19,000×0.80. This formula gives the same result as that shown above and below
