Here is your function:

$f(x)=2x+2$

You're looking for f(-1). To get your answer, you have to replace all the x's with -1.

Here is your new equation:

$f(-1) = 2(-1)+2$

Multiply 2 by -1

$2 \times -1 = -2$

<em>Remember:</em>

MULTIPLYING

Positive(+) times negative(-) is equal to negative

Positive(+) times positive(+) is equal to positive

Negative(-) times negative(-) is equal to positive

Negative(-) times positive(+) is equal to negative

DIVIDING

Positive(+) divided by positive(+) is equal to positive

Positive(+) divided by negative(-) is equal to negative

Negative(-) divided by positive(+) is equal to negative

Negative(-) divided by negative(-0 is equal to positive

Since you're multiplying a negative number by a positive number, the answer will be negative.

Here is your new equation:

$f(-1) = -2+2$

Add -2 and 2:

$-2+2 = 0$

That means your answer is 0

↓

$f(-1)=0$

How can we tell if a number is divisible by 4

Elza [17]

Answer: You take the last two digits of the original number and see if they are divisible by 4.

Step-by-step explanation: Take your original number and find the last two digits. If they are divisible by 4, then the original number is divisible by 4.

How to solve 10m-2/5=48/5

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10m-2/5=9 and 3/5

10m-2/5=9.6 (where 9 and 3/5 is equal to 9.6)

50m-2=48 (i multiplied 10m by 5 and 9.6 by 5)

50m=50 ( i added 2 to both sides)

m=1 ( i divided by 50 to both sides to find m)

Name/ Uid:1. In this problem, try to write the equations of the given surface in the specified coordinates.(a) Write an equation

Gemiola [76]

To find:

(a) Equation for the sphere of radius 5 centered at the origin in cylindrical coordinates

(b) Equation for a cylinder of radius 1 centered at the origin and running parallel to the z-axis in spherical coordinates

Solution:

(a) The equation of a sphere with center at (a, b, c) & having a radius 'p' is given in cartesian coordinates as:

$(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}+(z-c)^{2}=p^{2}$

Here, it is given that the center of the sphere is at origin, i.e., at (0,0,0) & radius of the sphere is 5. That is, here we have,

$a=b=c=0,p=5$

That is, the equation of the sphere in cartesian coordinates is,

$(x-0)^{2}+(y-0)^{2}+(z-0)^{2}=5^{2}$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=25$

Now, the cylindrical coordinate system is represented by $(r, \theta,z)$

The relation between cartesian and cylindrical coordinates is given by,

$x=rcos\theta,y=rsin\theta,z=z$

$r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2},tan\theta=\frac{y}{x},z=z$

Thus, the obtained equation of the sphere in cartesian coordinates can be rewritten in cylindrical coordinates as,

$r^{2}+z^{2}=25$

This is the required equation of the given sphere in cylindrical coordinates.

(b) A cylinder is defined by the circle that gives the top and bottom faces or alternatively, the cross section, & it's axis. A cylinder running parallel to the z-axis has an axis that is parallel to the z-axis. The equation of such a cylinder is given by the equation of the circle of cross-section with the assumption that a point in 3 dimension lying on the cylinder has 'x' & 'y' values satisfying the equation of the circle & that 'z' can be any value.

That is, in cartesian coordinates, the equation of a cylinder running parallel to the z-axis having radius 'p' with center at (a, b) is given by,

$(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}=p^{2}$

Here, it is given that the center is at origin & radius is 1. That is, here, we have, $a=b=0,p=1$ . Then the equation of the cylinder in cartesian coordinates is,

$x^{2}+y^{2}=1$

Now, the spherical coordinate system is represented by $(\rho,\theta,\phi)$

The relation between cartesian and spherical coordinates is given by,

$x=\rho sin\phi cos\theta,y=\rho sin\phi sin\theta, z= \rho cos\phi$

Thus, the equation of the cylinder can be rewritten in spherical coordinates as,

$(\rho sin\phi cos\theta)^{2}+(\rho sin\phi sin\theta)^{2}=1$

$\Rightarrow \rho^{2} sin^{2}\phi cos^{2}\theta+\rho^{2} sin^{2}\phi sin^{2}\theta=1$

$\Rightarrow \rho^{2} sin^{2}\phi (cos^{2}\theta+sin^{2}\theta)=1$

$\Rightarrow \rho^{2} sin^{2}\phi=1$ (As $sin^{2}\theta+cos^{2}\theta=1$ )

Note that $\rho$ represents the distance of a point from the origin, which is always positive. $\phi$ represents the angle made by the line segment joining the point with z-axis. The range of $\phi$ is given as $0\leq \phi\leq \pi$ . We know that in this range the sine function is positive. Thus, we can say that $sin\phi$ is always positive.
