Let L be the line with parametric equations x=5+t,y=6,z=−2−3t. Find the vector equation for a line that passes through the point

P=(−5,7,−8) and intersects L at a point that is distance 3 from the point Q=(5,6,−2). Note that there are two possible correct answers. Use the square root symbol √ where needed to give an exact value for your answer.

Answer:

The required equations are

(-5 \hat i + 7 \hat j + 8 \hat k )+\lambda \left((10+\frac {3}{\sqrt {10}})\hat i -\hat j +(6- \frac {9}{\sqrt {10}})\hat k\right)=0 and

(-5 \hat i + 7 \hat j + 8 \hat k )+\lambda \left((10-\frac {3}{\sqrt {10}})\hat i -\hat j +(6+ \frac {9}{\sqrt {10}})\hat k\right)=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parametric equation of the line, L, is x=5+t, y=6, z=-2-3t, so, an arbitrary point on the line is R(x,y,z)=R(5+t, 6, -2-3t)

The vector equation of the line passing through the points P(-5,7,-8) and R(5+t, 6, -2-3t) is

\vec P + \lambda \vec{(PR)}=0

\Rightarrow (-5 \hat i + 7 \hat j - 8 \hat k )+\lambda \left((5+t-(-5))\hat i + (6-7)\hat j +(-2-3t-8)\hat k\right)=0

\Rightarrow (-5 \hat i + 7 \hat j - 8 \hat k )+\lambda \left((10+t)\hat i -\hat j +(6-3t)\hat k\right)=0\;\cdots (i)

The given equation can also be written as

\frac {x-5}{1}=\frac {v-6}{0}=\frac{z+2}{-3}=t \; \cdots (ii)

The standard  equation of the line passes through the point P_0(x_0,y_0,z_0) and having direction\vec v= a_1 \hat i +a_2 \hat j +a_3 \hat k is

\frac {x-x_0}{a_1}=\frac {y-y_0}{a_2}=\frac{z-z_0}{a_3}=t \;\cdots (iii)

Here, The value of the parameter,t, of any point R at a distance d from the point, P_0, can be determined by

|t \vec v|=d\;\cdots (iv)

Comparing equations (ii) and (iii)

The line is passing through the point P_0 (5,6,-2) having direction \vec v=\hat i -3 \hat k.

Note that the point Q(5,6,-2) is the same as P_0 obtained above.

Now, the value of the parameter, t, for point R at distance d=3 from the point Q(5,6,-2) can be determined by equation (iv), we have

|t(\hat i -3 \hat k)|=3

\Rightarrow t^2|(\hat i -3 \hat k)|^2=9

\Rightarrow 10t^2=9

\Rightarrow t^2=\frac {9}{10}

\Rightarrow t=\pm \frac {3}{\sqrt {10}}

Put the value of t in equation (i), the required equations are as follows:

For t= \frac {3}{\sqrt {10}}

(-5 \hat i + 7 \hat j - 8 \hat k )+\lambda \left((10+\frac {3}{\sqrt {10}})\hat i -\hat j +\left(6-3\times \frac {3}{\sqrt {10}})\hat k\right)=0

\Rightarrow (-5 \hat i + 7 \hat j - 8 \hat k )+\lambda \left((10+\frac {3}{\sqrt {10}})\hat i -\hat j +(6- \frac {9}{\sqrt {10}})\hat k\right)=0

and for t= -\frac {3}{\sqrt {10}},

(-5 \hat i + 7 \hat j - 8 \hat k )+\lambda \left((10+\left (-\frac {3}{\sqrt {10}}\right))\hat i -\hat j +(6-3\times \left(-\frac {3}{\sqrt {10}}\right)\hat k\right)=0

\Rightarrow  (-5 \hat i + 7 \hat j - 8 \hat k )+\lambda \left((10-\frac {3}{\sqrt {10}})\hat i -\hat j +(6+ \frac {9}{\sqrt {10}})\hat k\right)=0

The quotient of the sum of 2t and 2 and twice the cube of s
Vladimir79 [104]

The equation according to the given verbal sentence is \frac{2 t+2}{2 s^{3}} (after solving this \frac{t+1}{s^{3}} ).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Rewrite the given verbal sentence and so it will be easier to translate.

Given: The quotient of the sum of 2 t and 2 and twice the cube of s

sum of 2 t and 2 can be written as

       2 t + 2

twice the cube of s

      2 s^{3}

Now, combine the above according to the given verbal. The quotient of the sum of 2 t and 2 and twice the cube of s  means,

             2 t + 2  divided by 2 s^{3}

Now, the equation would be \frac{2 t+2}{2 s^{3}}

When solving this equation, we get

         \frac{2(t+1)}{2 s^{3}}=\frac{t+1}{s^{3}}

Your manufacturing company sells metal nuts and bolts that come together in a package. The diameter of the bolts coming off the
Reil [10]

Answer:

The z score for bolt of diameter 18.12 mm is 1.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = diameter of bolts.

It is provided that the random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with mean, <em>μ</em> = 18 mm and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 0.10 mm.

A <em>z</em>-score is a standardized score, a numerical, that defines how far a data value from the mean.

The distribution of <em>z</em>-scores is defined by the Standard Normal distribution.

Z\sim N(0, 1)

The formula to compute the <em>z</em>-score is:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

The value of the diameter of a bolt is, <em>x</em> = 18.12 mm.

Compute the <em>z</em>-score for this value as follows:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{18.12-18}{0.10}=\frac{0.12}{0.10}=1.20

Thus, the z score for bolt of diameter 18.12 mm is 1.20.

If triangle ABC is isosceles and triangle DBE is equilateral what is the measure of angle C
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

43°

Step-by-step explanation:

For triangle ABC:

A = C so all we need to do is to calculate the value of B

The measure of angle ABD is given as 17° so the measure of angle EBC must be 17° as well

Since DBE is an equilateral triangle angle is DBE = 60°

17 + 17 + 60 = 94 this is the measure of angle B

The sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180

A + B + C = 180

A + C + 94 = 180

A + C = 86 since A = C we divide 86 by 2

C = 43°
