Let S be the surface defined by x 2 + 2y 3 + 3z 4 = 6. Let T be the surface defined parametrically by r(u, v) = (1+ln u, 2e v+u−

2, uv+1). These two surfaces intersect in a curve C which passes through the point (x, y, z) = (1, 1, 1). Find the tangent line to C through (1, 1, 1).

The tangent to C through (1, 1, 1) must be perpendicular to the normal vectors to the surfaces S and T at that point.

Let f(x,y,z)=x^2+2y^3+3z^4. Then S is the level curve f(x,y,z)=6. Recall that the gradient vector is perpendicular to level curves; we have

\nabla f(x,y,z)=(2x,6y,12z^2)

so that the gradient of f at (1, 1, 1) is

\nabla f(1,1,1)=(2,6,12)

For the surface T, we have

\begin{cases}1+\ln u=1\\2e^v+u-2=1\\uv+1=1\end{cases}\implies u=1,v=0

so that \vec r(1,0)=(1,1,1). We can obtain a vector normal to T by taking the cross product of the partial derivatives of \vec r(u,v), and evaluating that product for u=1,v=0:

\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial v}=\left(u-2ve^v,-1,\dfrac{2e^v}u\right)

\left(\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial v}\right)(1,0)=(1,-1,2)

Now take the cross product of the two normal vectors to S and T:

(2,6,12)\times(1,-1,2)=(24,8,-8)

The direction of vector (24, 8, -8) is the direction of the tangent line to C at (1, 1, 1). We can capture all points on the line containing this vector by scaling it by t\in\Bbb R. Then adding (1, 1, 1) shifts this line to the point of tangency on C. So the tangent line has equation

\vec\ell(t)=(1,1,1)+t(24,8,-8)=(1+24t,1+8t,1-8t)

You go A to B & B 2A + 8 + B to A&A to B&B to a and then you go see 2D to see 2D to see you today to see 2D which equals a + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 and that's your answer for this question I know it doesn't look like it makes sense but it's correct I think

A cube made of an unknown material has a height of 9 cm. The mass of this cube is 3,645 grams. Calculate the density of this cub
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cube = s^3

s = 9cm

V = 9 * 9 * 9

V = 729 cm^3

d = mass / volume

d = 3645 / 729

d = 5 grams / cm^3
