The volume of a tetrahedron is 1 6 of the volume of a parallelepiped whose sides are formed using the vectors coming out of one

corner of the tetrahedron. Find the volume of the tetrahedron with corners at (1, 1, 1), (1, 5, 5), (2, 1, 3), and (2, 2, 1).

Answer: The volume of the tetrahedron is 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = (1, 1, 1)

B = (1, 5, 5)

C = (2, 2, 1)

The volume of a tetrahedron is given as

V = (1/6)|AB, AC, AD|

Where |AB, AC, AD| is the determinant of the matrix of AB, AC, AD.

We need to determine AB, AC, and AD

Suppose A = (a1, a2, a3)

B = (b1, b2, b3)

C = ( c1, c2, c3)

AB = ( b1 - a1, b2 - a2, b3 - a3)

Similarly for AB, AC, BC, etc.

AB = (1 - 1, 5 - 1, 5 - 1)

= (0, 4, 4)

AC = (1, 0, 2)

AD = (1, 1, 0)

Volume =

(1/6) |0 4 4|

|1 0 2|

|1 1 0|

= (1/6)[0(0 - 2) - 4(0 - 2) + 4(1 - 0)

= (1/6)(0 + 8 - 4)

= (1/6)(12)

V = 12/6 = 2 units

Which Of The Following Rational Functions Is Graphed Below
Blizzard [7]

The given rational functions is graphed in the figure  is Option B. f(x) = 1/ ( x-2) (x + 5) is correct.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

The function is a type of relation, or rule, that maps one input to specific single output.

Here, a graph is given.

We need to find which of the given rational functions is graphed in the figure.

On x-axis, 1 unit = 2 units

Clearly, we can see the graph is not defined at point x = 2 and at x = -5.

Corresponding to x = 2, factor is (x - 2) .

Corresponding to x = -5, factor is (x + 5) .

So, this graph is of the rational fraction

Hence, Option B. f(x) = 1/ ( x-2) (x + 5) is correct.
