The mode of a data set is the number that occurs most frequently in the set. To easily find the mode, put the numbers in order from least to greatest and count how many times each number occurs. The number that occurs the most is the mode!

The number which appears most often in a set of numbers.

Example: in {6, 3, 9, 6, 6, 5, 9, 3} the Mode is 6 (it occurs most often).

Which values of P and Q result in an equation with no solutions? -60x+32=Qx+P

Elena L [17]

Q = -60 and P ≠ 32 will result in an equation with no solutions. (Both conditions must be met.)

_____
For Q = -60 and P = 32, there will be an infinite number of solutions. For any other values of Q and P, the solution is
.. x = (32 -P)/(Q +60)

Use the Divergence Theorem to evaluate S F · dS, where F(x, y, z) = z2xi + y3 3 + sin z j + (x2z + y2)k and S is the top half of

GenaCL600 [577]

Close off the hemisphere $S$ by attaching to it the disk $D$ of radius 3 centered at the origin in the plane $z=0$ . By the divergence theorem, we have

$\displaystyle\iint_{S\cup D}\vec F(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\iiint_R\mathrm{div}\vec F(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV$

where $R$ is the interior of the joined surfaces $S\cup D$ .

Compute the divergence of $\vec F$ :

$\mathrm{div}\vec F(x,y,z)=\dfrac{\partial(xz^2)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial\left(\frac{y^3}3+\sin z\right)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(x^2z+y^2)}{\partial k}=z^2+y^2+x^2$

Compute the integral of the divergence over $R$ . Easily done by converting to cylindrical or spherical coordinates. I'll do the latter:

$\begin{cases}x(\rho,\theta,\varphi)=\rho\cos\theta\sin\varphi\\y(\rho,\theta,\varphi)=\rho\sin\theta\sin\varphi\\z(\rho,\theta,\varphi)=\rho\cos\varphi\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}x^2+y^2+z^2=\rho^2\\\mathrm dV=\rho^2\sin\varphi\,\mathrm d\rho\,\mathrm d\theta\,\mathrm d\varphi\end{cases}$

So the volume integral is

$\displaystyle\iiint_Rx^2+y^2+z^2\,\mathrm dV=\int_0^{\pi/2}\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^3\rho^4\sin\varphi\,\mathrm d\rho\,\mathrm d\theta\,\mathrm d\varphi=\frac{486\pi}5$
