Answer:

(a) (x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 25

(b) (x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 9

(c) (x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a sphere is given by:

(x - x₀)² + (y - y₀)² + (z - z₀)² = r²            ---------------(i)

Where;

(x₀, y₀, z₀) is the center of the sphere

r is the radius of the sphere

Given:

Sphere centered at (3, -4, 5)

=> (x₀, y₀, z₀) = (3, -4, 5)

(a) To get the equation of the sphere when it touches the xy-plane, we do the following:

i.  Since the sphere touches the xy-plane, it means the z-component of its centre is 0.

Therefore, we have the sphere now centered at (3, -4, 0).

Using the distance formula, we can get the distance d, between the initial points (3, -4, 5) and the new points (3, -4, 0) as follows;

d = \sqrt{(3-3)^2+ (-4 - (-4))^2 + (0-5)^2}

d = \sqrt{(3-3)^2+ (-4 + 4)^2 + (0-5)^2}

d = \sqrt{(0)^2+ (0)^2 + (-5)^2}

d = \sqrt{(25)}

d = 5

This distance is the radius of the sphere at that point. i.e r = 5

Now substitute this value r = 5 into the general equation of a sphere given in equation (i) above as follows;

(x - 3)² + (y - (-4))² + (z - 5)² = 5²  

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 25  

Therefore, the equation of the sphere when it touches the xy plane is:

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 25  

(b) To get the equation of the sphere when it touches the yz-plane, we do the following:

i.  Since the sphere touches the yz-plane, it means the x-component of its centre is 0.

Therefore, we have the sphere now centered at (0, -4, 5).

Using the distance formula, we can get the distance d, between the initial points (3, -4, 5) and the new points (0, -4, 5) as follows;

d = \sqrt{(0-3)^2+ (-4 - (-4))^2 + (5-5)^2}

d = \sqrt{(-3)^2+ (-4 + 4)^2 + (5-5)^2}

d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (0)^2+ (0)^2}

d = \sqrt{(9)}

d = 3

This distance is the radius of the sphere at that point. i.e r = 3

Now substitute this value r = 3 into the general equation of a sphere given in equation (i) above as follows;

(x - 3)² + (y - (-4))² + (z - 5)² = 3²  

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 9  

Therefore, the equation of the sphere when it touches the yz plane is:

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 9  

(b) To get the equation of the sphere when it touches the xz-plane, we do the following:

i.  Since the sphere touches the xz-plane, it means the y-component of its centre is 0.

Therefore, we have the sphere now centered at (3, 0, 5).

Using the distance formula, we can get the distance d, between the initial points (3, -4, 5) and the new points (3, 0, 5) as follows;

d = \sqrt{(3-3)^2+ (0 - (-4))^2 + (5-5)^2}

d = \sqrt{(3-3)^2+ (0+4)^2 + (5-5)^2}

d = \sqrt{(0)^2 + (4)^2+ (0)^2}

d = \sqrt{(16)}

d = 4

This distance is the radius of the sphere at that point. i.e r = 4

Now substitute this value r = 4 into the general equation of a sphere given in equation (i) above as follows;

(x - 3)² + (y - (-4))² + (z - 5)² = 4²  

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 16  

Therefore, the equation of the sphere when it touches the xz plane is:

(x - 3)² + (y + 4)² + (z - 5)² = 16

Find the equation of the line through ( - 10, - 8) that is perpendicular to the line through (10,6), (5,5).
Furkat [3]

Answer:

y=-5x-58

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.

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.

Anyways we need to find the slope of the line going through (10,6) and (5,5).

To find the slope, we are going to line up the points vertically and subtract vertically, then put 2nd difference over 1st difference. Like so:

 (  10   ,   6)

- (   5   ,   5)

------------------

    5         1

So the slope of the line through (10,6) and (5,5) is 1/5.

The slope of a line that is perpendicular will be the opposite reciprocal of 1/5.

The opposite reciprocal of 1/5 is -5.

The line we are looking for is y=-5x+b where we need to find the y-intercept b.

y=-5x+b goes through (-10,-8)

So we can use (x,y)=(-10,-8) to find b in y=-5x+b.

y=-5x+b with (x,y)=(-10,-8)

-8=-5(-10)+b

-8=50+b

Subtract 50 on both sides:

-8-50=b

-58=b

So the equation is y=-5x-58

identify the amplitude and period of the function then graph the function and describe the graph of G as a transformation of the
mrs_skeptik [129]

Given the function:

g(x)=cos4x

Let's find the amplitude and period of the function.

Apply the general cosine function:

f(x)=Acos(bx+c)+d

Where A is the amplitude.

Comparing both functions, we have:

A = 1

b = 4

Hence, we have:

Amplitude, A = 1

To find the period, we have:

\frac{2\pi}{b}=\frac{2\pi}{4}=\frac{\pi}{2}

Therefore, the period is = π/2

The graph of the function is shown below:

The parent function of the given function is:

f(x)=cosx

Let's describe the transformation..

Apply the transformation rules for function.

We have:

The transformation that occured from f(x) = cosx to g(x) = cos4x using the rules of transformation can be said to be a horizontal compression.

ANSWER:

Amplitude = 1

Period = π/2

Transformation = horizontal compression.
