Find parametric equations for the line through point P(-4,5,2) in the direction of the vector (-6,6,-5)

Mathematics

tigry1 [53]3 years ago

The vector <em>v</em> (-6, 6, -5) points in the direction of itself, so we start there.

We can capture all points on the line through the origin and the point (-6, 6, -5) by scaling <em>v</em> by an arbitrary real number <em>t</em>.

The line through point <em>P</em> and pointing in the same direction as <em>v</em> is parallel to the other line that passes through the origin. Then the line we want can be obtained by translating the line through the origin by a vector <em>p</em> that points to (-4, 5, 2), so the vector equation for this line is

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = <em>p</em> + <em>t v</em>

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = (-4, 5, 2) + <em>t</em> (-6, 6, -5)

<em>r </em>(<em>t </em>) = (-4 - 6<em>t</em>, 5 + 6<em>t</em>, 2 - 5<em>t</em> )

To get the parametric equations, simply take out the components:

<em>x</em> (<em>t</em> ) = -4 - 6<em>t</em>

<em>y </em>(<em>t</em> ) = 5 + 6<em>t</em>

<em>z</em> (<em>t</em> ) = 2 - 5<em>t</em>

The surface area of a cone with radius r units and slant height s units is shown below:
Ganezh [65]
Surface area of a cone = π{rs+r²}<br />                                     =πr{s+r}<br />part 1:if π is 6 units and s is 4 units then r would be 3.14 ×6 {4+6}<br /><br />part 2: area of a cone = 3.14 ×6×10<br />                                  =31.4×6<br />                                    = 188.4 units²<br />the surface area = 188.4 <br />units²<br /> hope i helped

On this map, Oxford Street is perpendicular to_______ , and Rosewood Street is perpendicular to ________. Assume that the street
melamori03 [73]
Hi there!

We are looking for perpendicular angles, which means the angle between the streets is 90 degrees. So, each time we need to find the street that intersects the given street with a 90 degree angle.

On this map, Oxford Street is perpendicular to Waterloo St., and Rosewood Street is perpendicular to Oak St..

The answers are (in correct order): Waterloo St. and Oak St..
