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

What is the product?<br> (-2x- 9y2 )(-4x-3)
lara [203]

Answer:

36xy^2 + 8x^2 + 27y^2 + 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the FOIL method of multiplying binomials.

First term in each binomial: -2x * -4x = 8x^2

Outside terms: -2x * -3 = 6x

Inside terms: -9y^2 * -4x = 36xy^2

Last term in each binomial: -9y^2 * -3 = 27y^2

Now, rearrange the terms correctly. 36xy^2 + 8x^2 + 27y^2 + 6x

This is our final answer, since it can not be simplified any more.

According to a survey, 78% of residents in Summerville own a home. If 30 residents
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

0.1732 = 17.32% probability exactly 24 residents own a home.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resident, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they own a home, or they do not. The probability of a resident owning a home is independent of any other resident. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

78% of residents in Summerville own a home.

This means that p = 0.78

30 residents are randomly selected:

This means that n = 30

Find the probability exactly 24 residents own a home.

This is P(X = 24).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 24) = C_{30,24}.(0.78)^{24}.(0.22)^{6} = 0.1732

0.1732 = 17.32% probability exactly 24 residents own a home.
