Presumably you should be doing this using calculus methods, namely computing the surface integral along \mathbf r(u,v).

But since \mathbf r(u,v) describes a sphere, we can simply recall that the surface area of a sphere of radius a is 4\pi a^2.

In calculus terms, we would first find an expression for the surface element, which is given by

\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\iint_S\left\|\frac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\frac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}=a\cos u\cos v\,\mathbf i+a\cos u\sin v\,\mathbf j-a\sin u\,\mathbf k
\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}=-a\sin u\sin v\,\mathbf i+a\sin u\cos v\,\mathbf j
\implies\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}=a^2\sin^2u\cos v\,\mathbf i+a^2\sin^2u\sin v\,\mathbf j+a^2\sin u\cos u\,\mathbf k
\implies\left\|\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\|=a^2\sin u

So the area of the surface is

\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\int_{u=0}^{u=\pi}\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}a^2\sin u\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=2\pi a^2\int_{u=0}^{u=\pi}\sin u
=-2\pi a^2(\cos\pi-\cos 0)
=-2\pi a^2(-1-1)
=4\pi a^2

as expected.

What is the equation of the graph
Katen [24]
I assume you want it in slop-intercept form.
y = 3/4x + y-intercept (the graph isn't labeled)
If you just want to find the slope of the graph, it would be 3/4

Which system of equations can be used to find the roots of the equation 4x^2=x^3+2x?
irina [24]
Next time, please share the answer choices.
Starting from scratch, it's possible to find the roots:

<span>4x^2=x^3+2x should be rearranged in descending order by powers of x:

x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x = 0.  Factoring out x:  </span>x(x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0

Clearly, one root is 0.  We must now find the roots of (x^2 - 4x + 2):

Here we could learn a lot by graphing.  The graph of y = x^2 - 4x + 2 never touches the x-axis, which tells us that (x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0 has no real roots other than x=0.  You could also apply the quadratic formula here; if you do, you'll find that the discriminant is negative, meaning that you have two complex, unequal roots.

Vertices A and B of triangle ABC are on one bank of a river, and vertex C is on the opposite bank. The distance between A and B
AURORKA [14]
A suitable solver will tell you instantly that the measure of b is 179.18 ft.

_____
If you want to do it yourself (meaning also with the aid of a calculator), you can use the Law of Sines. The given side is side "c", so you need the measure of angle C. That will be
  180° -33° -63° = 84°
Then side "b" can be found from
  b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
  b = c*sin(B)/sin(C)
  b = (200 ft)*sin(63°)/sin(84°) ≈ 179.183 ft
