Answer:
Equation of Sphere = + + - 18x - 4/3y +10z + 142/3 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Data Given:
P = (x,y,z)
Distance from P to A (-3,6,3) = Twice the distance from P to B(6,2,-3)
Solution:
Find the equation of the sphere:
It is given that:
PA = 2PB
Squaring both sides:
+ + = 4 x + +
Solving the above equation:
+ + = 4 x { + + }
+ 9 + 6x + + 36 - 12y + + 9 - 6z = 4 { + 36 - 12x + + 4 - 4y + + 9 + 6z}
+ 9 + 6x + + 36 - 12y + + 9 - 6z = 4 + 144 - 48x +4 + 16 - 16y + 4 + 36 + 24z
Putting the right hand side = 0 and solving the equation:
- 4 + - 4 + - 4 + 6x + 48x - 12y +16y -6z - 24z + 9 + 36 + 9 -144 - 16 - 36 = 0
-3 - 3 -3 + 54x + 4y -30z -142 = 0
Taking (-) common
- ( 3 + 3 + 3 - 54x - 4y +30z + 142) = 0
3 + 3 + 3 - 54x - 4y +30z + 142 = 0
dividing the whole equation by 3
+ + - 54/3x - 4/3y +30/3z + 142/3 = 0
+ + - 18x - 4/3y +10z + 142/3 = 0
• David
• 4 miles
Explanation:
In the graph:
The given locations are:
• Owen's House, A(11,3)
• David's House, B(15,13)
• School, C(3,18)
We determine both Owen's and David's distance from the school using the distance formula.
Owen's distance from school (AC)
David's distance from school (BC)
We see from the calculations that David lives closer to the school, and by 4 miles.
The graph below is attached for further understanding:
4x-10+5x-22+3x+2=180
So x=35/2 or 17.5
