Answer:

-1280

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways you could do this. You could just do the question until you come to the end of f(4). That is likely the simplest way to do it.

f(1) = 160

f(2) = - 2 * f(1)

f(2) = -2*160

f(2) = -320

f(3) = -2 * f(2)

f(3) = -2 * - 320

f(3) = 640

f(4) = - 2 * f(3)

f(4) = - 2 * 640

f(4) = - 1280

I don't know that you could do this explicitly with any real confidence.

$f(1)=160\\f(n+1)=-2f(n)\\\\f(2)=-2\cdot 160=-320\\f(3)=-2\cdot(-320)=640\\f(4)=-2\cdot 640=-1280$

There is a sack that contains 100 marbles: 30 are black, 45 are red, and 25 are yellow. We pull out a marble, record its color,

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not a binomial situation, as there are more than two outcomes (the prefix bi means two). There is also not an equal amount of chance of pulling any color marble.

The equation of the tangent plane to the ellipsoid x2/a2 + y2/b2 + z2/c2 = 1 at the point (x0, y0, z0) can be written as xx0 a2

svetlana [45]

Answer:

The equation of tangent plane to the hyperboloid

$\frac{xx_0}{a^2}+\frac{yy_0}{b^2}-\frac{zz_0}{c^2}=1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The equation of ellipsoid

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}+\frac{z^2}{c^2}=1$

The equation of tangent plane at the point $\left(x_0,y_0,z_0\right)$

$\frac{xx_0}{a^2}+\frac{yy_0}{b^2}+\frac{zz_0}{c^2}=1$ ( Given)

The equation of hyperboloid

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}-\frac{z^2}{c^2}=1$

F(x,y,z)= $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}-\frac{z^2}[c^2}$

$F_x=\frac{2x}{a^2},F_y=\frac{2y}{b^2},F_z=-\frac{2z}{c^2}$

$(F_x,F_y,F_z)(x_0,y_0,z_0)=\left(\frac{2x_0}{a^2},\frac{2y_0}{b^2},-\frac{2z_0}{c^2}\right)$

The equation of tangent plane at point $\left(x_0,y_0,z_0\right)$

$\frac{2x_0}{a^2}(x-x_0)+\frac{2y_0}{b^2}(y-y_0)-\farc{2z_0}{c^2}(z-z_0)=0$

The equation of tangent plane to the hyperboloid

$\frac{2xx_0}{a^2}+\frac{2yy_0}{b^2}-\frac{2zz_0}{c^2}-2\left(\frac{x_0^2}{a^2}+\frac{y_0^2}{b^2}-\frac{z_0^2}{c^2}\right)=0$

The equation of tangent plane

$2\left(\frac{xx_0}{a^2}+\frac{yy_0}{b^2}-\frac{zz_0}{c^2}\right)=2$

Hence, the required equation of tangent plane to the hyperboloid

$\frac{xx_0}{a^2}+\frac{yy_0}{b^2}-\frac{zz_0}{c^2}=0$
