Kyle has three short straws, four medium straws, and six long straws. If he randomly draws two straws, one at a time without rep

lacement, what is the probability that both are short straws?

8 0

Total number of straws is 13.

P(both are short) = (3/13(2/12)

P(both are short) = 6/156

P(both are short) = 1/26

Find the area of the helicoid (or spiral ramp) with vector equation r(u, v) = ucos(v) i + usin(v) j + v k, 0 ≤ u ≤ 1, 0 ≤ v ≤ 9π

Natasha2012 [34]

Let $H$ denote the helicoid parameterized by

$\mathbb r(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+u\sin v\,\mathbf j+v\,\mathbf k$

for $0\le u\le1$ and $0\le v\le9\pi$ . The surface area is given by the surface integral,

$\displaystyle\iint_H\mathrm dS=\iint_H\|\mathbf r_u\times\mathbf r_v\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

We have

$\mathbf r_u=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r(u,v)}{\partial u}=\cos v\,\mathbf i+\sin v\,\mathbf j$
$\mathbf r_v=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r(u,v)}{\partial v}=-u\sin v\,\mathbf i+u\cos v\,\mathbf j+\mathbf k$
$\implies\mathbf r_u\times\mathbf r_v=\sin v\,\mathbf i-\cos v\,\mathbf j+u\,\mathbf k$
$\implies\|\mathbf r_u\times\mathbf r_v\|=\sqrt{1+u^2}$

So the area of $H$ is

$\displaystyle\iint_H\mathrm dS=\int_{v=0}^{v=9\pi}\int_{u=0}^{u=1}\sqrt{1+u^2}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
$=\dfrac{9(\sqrt2+\sinh^{-1}(1))\pi}2$

What are integers and rational numbers? How are points graphed<br> on a coordinate plane?

9966 [12]

Answer:

Integers: a number that can be written without a fractional component

Rational Numbers: is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. Since q may be equal to 1, every integer is a rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

How are points graphed

on a coordinate plane?

Start at (0, 0), or the origin.

Move over x units to the right or left.

Move over y units up or down.

Mark the point.
