Answer:

(1+t, 2+2t, -1+6t); C is on this line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the vector equation of the line.

Given information:

Point A is (1, 2, -1)

Point B is (2, 4, 5)

Point C is (-5, -10, -37)

The difference between the two first given points (A, B) is:

B-A=(2, 4, 5)-(1, 2, -1)=(2-1, 4-2, 5-(-1))=(1, 2, 6) which is called the direction vector, so the equation is:

(x, y, z)=(1, 2, -1) + t*(1, 2, 6)=(1+t, 2+2t, -1+6t)

Now let's find if point C is on the line:

(x, y, z)=(1, 2, -1) + t*(1, 2, 6)

(-5, -10, -37)=(1, 2, -1) + t*(1, 2, 6)

(-5, -10, -37)-(1, 2, -1)=t*(1, 2, 6)

(-5-1, -10-2, -37+1)=t*(1, 2, 6)

(-6, -12, -36)=t*(1, 2, 6) from where we can obtain:

1*t=-6 --> t=-6

2*t=-12 --> t=-6

6*t=-36 --> t=-6

In conclusion, because from all the equations we obtained t=-6, then point C is on this line.

Leona [35]

Answer:

12.5 pie , 39.25 using pie=3.14, and 39.28 to be exact

Step-by-step explanation:

BTW n=pie

10in= Diameter

5in=Radius

Area=n5^2

= 25n/2

=12.5n

12.5 times 3.14= 39.25

22/7 times 12.5= 39.2857143

|5 + z| + 3 = 10 solve
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

z = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The | | represents absolute value which means the number's distance from 0. Any number's absolute value is going to be a positive number.

So, 5 + what number plus 3 gives you 10?

10 - 3 = 7 and 7 - 5 = 2.

So, |5 + 2| + 3 = 10.

The distance from 5 and 0 is 5

Distance from 2 and 0 is 2
