Answer:

A. (iv)-There is a rotation by π around the x-axis.

B. (v)-There is a reflection across the xy plane.

C. None of the above, There is a rotation by π/2 about the x-axis with a radial expansion by a factor of 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. In spherical coordinates, for some point in R³, the angle θ is designed to be the angle between the x-axis and the projection of the line that goes from (0,0,0) to that point into the xy plane.

So, if you add π to the angle it only rotate 180 degrees or π units about the x-axis

B. In spherical coordinates, for some point in R³, the angle ϕ is designed to be the angle between the z-axis and the diagonal from (0,0,0) to that point.

So, if you subtract π to the angle it would flip the diagonal in the negative part of z (assuming ϕ<π/2, otherwise, originally the diagonal would be in the negative part of z and it would flip to the positive part of z) and this could be interpreted as a reflection around the xy plane. Notice if ϕ=π/2, then π − ϕ=π/2 so everything stays the same for points that belong to xy plane (i.e that ϕ=π/2)

C. In spherical coordinates, for some point in R³, ρ is designed to be the length of the diagonal from (0,0,0) to that point. So if we multiply ρ by 2, we are expanding the length of the diagonal.

But as we´ve seen before, adding something to θ means a rotation about x-axis by what we are adding (π/2)

Then the answer is that there is a rotation by π/2 about the x-axis with a radial expansion by a factor of 2.

Given the system of inequalities below: -3x - y < 12 2x + 3y ≥ 9 Give the coordinates of three points that are members of the

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The coordinates of the points that are members of the solution set

(-3,7), (0,4) and (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$-3x-y< 12$ ----> inequality A

The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area above the dashed line

$2x+3y\geq 9$ ----> inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area above the solid line

The solution of the system of inequalities is the shaded area between the dashed line and the solid line

see the attached figure

Remember that,

If a ordered pair is a solution of the system of inequalities, then the ordered pair must be in the shaded area of the solution

Plot the points

(-3, 7), (-3, -7), (3,-7), (-4,-0), (0,-4), (0,4), (2,3), (-2,3), (2,-3)

therefore

The coordinates of the points that are members of the solution set

(-3,7), (0,4) and (2,3)

The sign of the product of –35 and –625 is

Anarel [89]

Step-by-step explanation:

The mathematical sign for the operation is subtraction.

To Solve This You Will Need To;

1] The sign of the product of -35 and -625 is;

It's going to be;

-35--625

The negative sign will turn into addition sign before you can operate it. So it's going to be;

-35+625=590(positive)

It's just like subtracting 35 from 625.

2] The sign of the product of 263 and 0 is;

263-0

With this no quantity is going to be subtracted so the 263 will remain the same. 

So 263-0=263(positive)

3] The sign of the product of -21 and 451 is;

-21-451

With this you won't subtract but rather you'll add and when you add the answer is going to be -472

-472(negative)

4] The sign of the product of -350 and 89 is;

-350-89

With this you will add it but you won't subtract the negatives so it's going to be;

-350-89=-439(negative)

Hope I am Correct I didn't really understand your question well. But Good Luck:)

What is the least common multiple of 8 and 10

Lynna [10]

40 is your answer. Because, you need the lowest multiple so we have to find it by making out a chart of their multiples

8, 16,24,32,40

10,20,30,40

The first same multiple they make is 40
