Answer:

$\boxed{ \text{B. }\frac{2}{ 3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor (C) is the ratio of corresponding sides of the two pyramids.

The ratio of the areas is the square of the scale factor.

$\frac{A_{1}}{ A_{2}} =C^{2}\\ \\\frac{48 }{108} = C^{2}\\\\ \frac{4}{9} = C^{2}\\\\ C = \frac{2}{3}\\\\$

The scale factor is $\boxed {\frac{2}{3}}$ .

The equation giving a family of ellipsoids is u = (x^2)/(a^2) + (y^2)/(b^2) + (z^2)/(c^2) . Find the unit vector normal to each

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

$\hat{n}\ =\ \ \dfrac{\dfrac{x}{a^2}\hat{i}+\ \dfrac{y}{b^2}\hat{j}+\ \dfrac{z}{c^2}\hat{k}}{\sqrt{(\dfrac{x}{a^2})^2+(\dfrac{y}{b^2})^2+(\dfrac{z}{c^2})^2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of ellipsoids,

$u\ =\ \dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}+\dfrac{z^2}{c^2}$

The vector normal to the given equation of ellipsoid will be given by

$\vec{n}\ =\textrm{gradient of u}$

$=\bigtriangledown u$

$=\ (\dfrac{\partial{}}{\partial{x}}\hat{i}+ \dfrac{\partial{}}{\partial{y}}\hat{j}+ \dfrac{\partial{}}{\partial{z}}\hat{k})(\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}+\dfrac{z^2}{c^2})$

$=\ \dfrac{\partial{(\dfrac{x^2}{a^2})}}{\partial{x}}\hat{i}+\dfrac{\partial{(\dfrac{y^2}{b^2})}}{\partial{y}}\hat{j}+\dfrac{\partial{(\dfrac{z^2}{c^2})}}{\partial{z}}\hat{k}$

$=\ \dfrac{2x}{a^2}\hat{i}+\ \dfrac{2y}{b^2}\hat{j}+\ \dfrac{2z}{c^2}\hat{k}$

Hence, the unit normal vector can be given by,

$\hat{n}\ =\ \dfrac{\vec{n}}{\left|\vec{n}\right|}$

$=\ \dfrac{\dfrac{2x}{a^2}\hat{i}+\ \dfrac{2y}{b^2}\hat{j}+\ \dfrac{2z}{c^2}\hat{k}}{\sqrt{(\dfrac{2x}{a^2})^2+(\dfrac{2y}{b^2})^2+(\dfrac{2z}{c^2})^2}}$

$=\ \dfrac{\dfrac{x}{a^2}\hat{i}+\ \dfrac{y}{b^2}\hat{j}+\ \dfrac{z}{c^2}\hat{k}}{\sqrt{(\dfrac{x}{a^2})^2+(\dfrac{y}{b^2})^2+(\dfrac{z}{c^2})^2}}$

Hence, the unit vector normal to each point of the given ellipsoid surface is

$\hat{n}\ =\ \ \dfrac{\dfrac{x}{a^2}\hat{i}+\ \dfrac{y}{b^2}\hat{j}+\ \dfrac{z}{c^2}\hat{k}}{\sqrt{(\dfrac{x}{a^2})^2+(\dfrac{y}{b^2})^2+(\dfrac{z}{c^2})^2}}$

Pls help with this (im not trying to be annoying)

ss7ja [257]

C(8)=29 you have to plug in 8 for n in the equation and solve. Hope this helps!!!
