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)}

Which polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares
Mrrafil [7]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The polynomial that can be simplified to a difference of squares is the second polynomial:

16a^{2}-4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2}=(4-1)(4+1)

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve this problem, we need to look for which of the given quadratic terms given for the different polynomials can be a result of squaring (elevating by two).

So,

Discarding, we have:

The quadratic terms of the given polynomials are:

First=10a^{2}

Second=16a^{2}

Third=25a^{2}

Fourth=24a^{2}

We have that the coefficients of the quadratic terms that can be obtained by squaring are:

16a^{2} =(4a)^{2} \\\\25a^{2} =(5a)^{2}

The other two coefficients are not perfect squares since they can not be obtained by square rooting whole numbers.

So, the first and the fourth polynomial are discarded and cannot be simplified to a difference of squares at least using whole numbers.

Therefore, we need to work with the second and the third polynomial.

For the second polynomial, we have:

16a^{2} -4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2} =(4-1)(4+1)

So, the second polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares.

For the third polynomial, we have:

25a^{2} +6a-6a+36=16a^{2}+36=(5a)^{2}+(6)^{2}

So, the third polynomial cannot be simplified to a difference of squares since it's a sum of squares.

Hence, the polynomial that can be simplified to a difference of squares is the second polynomial:

16a^{2}-4a+4a-1=16a^{2}=(4a)^{2}-(1)^{2}
