Find the distance between a point (– 2, 3 – 4) and its image on the plane x+y+z=3 measured parallel to a line

Mathematics

Ber [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The distance is:  

\displaystyle\frac{3\sqrt{142}}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

We re-write the equation of the line in the format:

\displaystyle\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{y+\frac{3}{2}}{2}=\frac{z+\frac{4}{3}}{\frac{5}{3}}

Notice we divided the fraction of y by 2/2, and the fraction of z by 3/3.

In that equation, the director vector of the line is built with the denominators of the equation of the line, thus:

\displaystyle\vec{v}=\left< 3, 2, \frac{5}{3}\right>

Then the parametric equations of the line along that vector and passing through the point (-2, 3, -4) are:

x=-2+3t\\y=3+2t\\\displaystyle z=-4+\frac{5}{3}t

We plug them into the equation of the plane to get the intersection of that line and the plane, since that intersection is the image on the plane of the point (-2, 3, -4)  parallel to the given line:

\displaystyle x+y+z=3\to -2+3t+3+2t-4+\frac{5}{3}t=3

Then we solve that equation for t, to get:

\displaystyle \frac{20}{3}t-3=3\to t=\frac{9}{10}

Then plugging that value of t into the parametric equations of the line we get the coordinates of the intersection:

\displaystyle x=-2+3\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)=\frac{7}{10}\\\displaystyle y=3+2\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)=\frac{24}{5} \\\displaystyle z=-4+\frac{5}{3}\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)=-\frac{5}{2}

Then to find the distance we just use the distance formula:

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2+(z_1-z_2)^2}

So we get:

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{\left(-2-\frac{7}{10}\right)^2+\left(3-\frac{24}{5}\right)^2+\left(-4 +\frac{5}{2}\right)^2}=\frac{3\sqrt{142}}{10}

If f(t)=3t^2+11 find f(7)
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

f(7) = 158

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(7) substitute t = 7 into f(t)

f(7) = 3(7)² + 11 = (3 × 49) + 11 = 147 + 11 = 158

How do you find the product of -2(3.1)
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

- 6.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of - 2 (3.1) is - 6.2.

Brackets mean to multiply so we have to multiply the - 2 by 3.1 which gives a result of - 6.2.

If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min, find the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter d
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of an snowball

The surface area of an snowball has the following equation:

S_{a} = \pi d^2

In which d is the diameter.

Implicit differentiation:

To solve this question, we differentiate the equation for the surface area implictly, in function of t. So

\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

Surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min

This means that \frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = -3

Tind the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 9 cm.

This is \frac{dd}{dt} when d = 9. So

\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

-3 = 2*9\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

\frac{dd}{dt} = -\frac{3}{18\pi}

\frac{dd}{dt} = -0.053

The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.

Write the equation of the line passing through the point ​(​6,-9​) with slope -5/6.
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The equation is y = -5/6 x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -5/6 x+b

Substitute in the point

-9 = -5/6(6) +b

-9 = -5+b

Add  5 to each side

-4 = b

The equation is y = -5/6 x-4
