Answer:

The points are \bold{\left(  \cfrac{1}6\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}} ,\cfrac 1{10}\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}},\cfrac{2}3\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}}\right)} and \bold{\left(  -\cfrac{1}6\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}} ,-\cfrac 1{10}\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}},-\cfrac{2}3\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}}\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the normal to both the surface and the plane, and set a relation between them since tangent plane and the given are parallel. Once we have that we can use the original surface to find the points on the surface that are tangent to the plane.

Normal vectors.

The normal vectors can be found using partial derivatives or gradient, thus we can call the surface:

F(x,y,z)=3x^2+5y^2+3z^2-1=0

So its normal is

\vec n_1 = \left< \cfrac{\partial F}{\partial x},\cfrac{\partial F}{\partial y},\cfrac{\partial F}{\partial z} \right>\\\vec n_1= \left< 6x,10y,6z\right>

And the normal vector to the plane is

\vec n_2= < 1,1,4>

Notice that the normal vector of the plane is just represented by the coefficients of x,y and z.

Parallel condition

The two planes are parallel only if their normal vectors are parallel as well, so we can write

\vec n_1=t\vec n_2

Using the previously found normal vectors.

\left< 6x,10y,6z\right>=t< 1,1,4>

So we get

x= t/6\\y=t/10\\z=2t/3

Finding the points where we have the tangent plane.

We can plug the expressions we have found of x, y and z on the given  surface equation.

3(t/6)^2+5(t/10)^2+3(2t/3)^2=1

And we can simplify and solve for t.

\cfrac{t^2}{12}+\cfrac{t^2}{20}+\cfrac{4t^2}{3}=1

The LCD is 60 so we can multiply all terms in both sides by 60 to get

5t^2+3t^2+80t^2=60\\88t^2=60

So we get

t^2  = \cfrac {15}{22}

That give us the values of t

t_{1,2} =\pm \sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}}

Lastly at t_1=\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}} we have:

x= \cfrac{1}6\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}} \\y=\cfrac 1{10}\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}}\\z=\cfrac{2}3\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}}

So one point is

\boxed{\left(  \cfrac{1}6\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}} ,\cfrac 1{10}\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}},\cfrac{2}3\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}}\right)}

And for the value of  t_2=-\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}}

We have

x= -\cfrac{1}6\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}} \\y=-\cfrac 1{10}\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}}\\z=-\cfrac{2}3\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}}

So the second point is

\boxed{\left( - \cfrac{1}6\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}} ,-\cfrac 1{10}\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}},-\cfrac{2}3\sqrt{\cfrac {15}{22}}\right)}

What is the formula for the following arithmetic sequence? 12, 6, 0, -6, ...
bixtya [17]

Answer:

an= 12 + (-6)(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

you should find two values: a1 and d

a1= first number =12

d= a number of the sequence mines the number of the sequence before the one you chose = 0-6 = -6

a1+(n-1)d= 12-6(n-1)

A circle in the XY-plane has center (5, 7) and radius 2. Which of the following is an equation of the circle?
MAXImum [283]

Answer: A, because the equation of a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2. So, if the point of the center is (5,7) and the radius 2 , then on the equation should be changed as negative and the radius should be multiplied as 4, which is (x-5)^2+(y-7)^2=4
