Answer:

The standard equation of the sphere is (x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2}  = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the end point are (3,-2,4) and (7,12,4)

Since we know the end points of the diameter, we can determine the center (midpoint of the two end points) of the sphere.

The midpoint can be calculated thus

Midpoint = (\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}  }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}, \frac{z_{1} + z_{2}  }{2})

Let the first endpoint be represented as (x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}) and the second endpoint be (x_{2}, y_{2}, z_{2}).

Hence,

Midpoint = (\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}  }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}, \frac{z_{1} + z_{2}  }{2})

Midpoint = (\frac{3 + 7  }{2}, \frac{-2+12 }{2}, \frac{4 + 4  }{2})

Midpoint = (\frac{10 }{2}, \frac{10}{2}, \frac{8  }{2})\\

Midpoint = (5, 5, 4)

This is the center of the sphere.

Now, we will determine the distance (diameter) of the sphere

The distance is given by

d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} + (z_{2}- z_{1})^{2}      }

d = \sqrt{(7 - 3)^{2} +(12 - -2)^{2} + (4- 4)^{2}

d = \sqrt{(4)^{2} +(14)^{2} + (0)^{2}

d = \sqrt{16 +196 + 0

d =\sqrt{212}

d = 2\sqrt{53}

This is the diameter

To find the radius, r

From Radius = \frac{Diameter}{2}

Radius = \frac{2\sqrt{53} }{2}

∴ Radius = \sqrt{53}

r = \sqrt{53}

Now, we can write the standard equation of the sphere since we know the center and the radius

Center of the sphere is (5, 5, 4)

Radius of the sphere is \sqrt{53}

The equation of a sphere of radius r and center (h,k,l) is given by

(x-h)^{2} + (y-k)^{2} + (z-l)^{2}  = r^{2}

Hence, the equation of the sphere of radius \sqrt{53} and center (5, 5, 4) is

(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2}  = \sqrt{(53} )^{2}

(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2}  = 53

This is the standard equation of the sphere

Find the mean, median, and mode 77, 92, 80, 92. Please explain how you got your answer.​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The mean is 85.25

The medium is 86

The mode is 92

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is all the numbers added divided by the number of values.

77 + 92 + 80 + 92 divided by 4

341 divided by 4 = 85.25

The median is the middle number

92 + 80 divided by 2

172 divided by 2 = 86

The mode is the number that occurs the most which is 92.

The table shows a student's proof of the quotient rule for logarithms.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The error is at step (3) .

The correct step (3) will be,

\log_{b}(\frac {b^{x}}{b^{y}})

= \log_{b}(b^{x - y})   [by using the laws of indices]

All other steps are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error is at the step (3) , because the student has tried to prove the quotient rule of logarithms by using the property i.e., 'The quotient rule of logarithm' itself , i.e. ,by  assuming the property does hold before proving it. So, the proof is fallacious.

The correct step (3) will be,

\log_{b}(\frac {b^{x}}{b^{y}})

= \log_{b}(b^{x - y})   [by using the laws of indices]

All other steps are correct.
