If the line through (-2,4) and (5,d) is parallel to the graph of y=3x+4, what is the value of d?

1 answer:

7 0

Y = 3x + 4....slope here is 3. A parallel line will have the same slope.

slope = (d - 4) / (5 - (-2) = (d - 4) / (5 + 2) = (d - 4) / 7....so d is going to have to be 25.

lets check....the slope has to equal 3 to be a parallel line
(-2,4)(5,25)
slope = (25 - 4) / (5 - (-2) = 21/(5 + 2) = 21/7 = 3 (correct)

so d = 25

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

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