Answer:

P ( -1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio is AP : PB = 3 : 2 = m : n and points A(5,6) B(-5,-9)

We will calculate coordinates of the point P which divides line segment AB

in the following way:

xp = (n · xa + m · xb) / (m+n) = (2 · 5 + 3 · (-5)) / (3+2) = (10-15) / 5 = -5/5 = -1

xp = -1

yp = (n · ya + m · yb) / (m+n) = (2 · 6 + 3 · (-9)) / (3+2) = (12-27) / 5 = -15/5 = -3

yp = -3

Point P( -1, -3)

G find the area of the surface over the given region. use a computer algebra system to verify your results. the sphere r(u,v) =

Svetach [21]

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.

QUESTION. What is an improper fraction? An improper fraction: Does anyone know this?

Kruka [31]

Answer:

An improper fraction is when the numerator of the fraction is larger than the denominator

For example, 13/4 is improper because 13 > 4

An improper fraction can be changed into a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator

For example, 13 divided by 4 is 3 with remainder 1, or 3 1/4
