Please help! Create a set of five positive numbers (repeats allowed) that have a median of 10 and a mean of 14. What thought pro

Alright, since there are 5 numbers, and the mean (or average) is (sum)/(amount of numbers), we have (sum)/5=14. Multiplying both sides by 5, we have the sum being 80. The median of 10 means that in a, b, c, d, e, 10 has to be c and the numbers have to be in ascending order. A and b must be 10 or lower, while d and e must be 10 or higher. Putting some random numbers in, we can have 1, 1, 10, 15, and e. We left e there because the sum needs to be 80, and since 1+1+10+15=27, 80-27=53=e. This, however, would not work if e was less than 10 and we therefore would have needed to make some numbers lower to compensate for this. Our answer is therefore 1, 1, 10, 15, 53

Rewrite the following integral in spherical coordinates.

lora16 [44]

In cylindrical coordinates, we have $r^2=x^2+y^2$ , so that

$z = \pm \sqrt{2-r^2} = \pm \sqrt{2-x^2-y^2}$

correspond to the upper and lower halves of a sphere with radius $\sqrt2$ . In spherical coordinates, this sphere is $\rho=\sqrt2$ .

$1 \le r \le \sqrt2$ means our region is between two cylinders with radius 1 and $\sqrt2$ . In spherical coordinates, the inner cylinder has equation

$x^2+y^2 = 1 \implies \rho^2\cos^2(\theta) \sin^2(\phi) + \rho^2\sin^2(\theta) \sin^2(\phi) = \rho^2 \sin^2(\phi) = 1 \\\\ \implies \rho^2 = \csc^2(\phi) \\\\ \implies \rho = \csc(\phi)$

This cylinder meets the sphere when

$x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1 + z^2 = 2 \implies z^2 = 1 \\\\ \implies \rho^2 \cos^2(\phi) = 1 \\\\ \implies \rho^2 = \sec^2(\phi) \\\\ \implies \rho = \sec(\phi)$

which occurs at

$\csc(\phi) = \sec(\phi) \implies \tan(\phi) = 1 \implies \phi = \dfrac\pi4+n\pi$

where $n\in\Bbb Z$ . Then $\frac\pi4\le\phi\le\frac{3\pi}4$ .

The volume element transforms to

$dx\,dy\,dz = r\,dr\,d\theta\,dz = \rho^2 \sin(\phi) \, d\rho \, d\theta \, d\phi$

Putting everything together, we have

$\displaystyle \int_0^{2\pi} \int_1^{\sqrt2} \int_{-\sqrt{2-r^2}}^{\sqrt{2-r^2}} r \, dz \, dr \, d\theta = \boxed{\int_0^{2\pi} \int_{\pi/4}^{3\pi/4} \int_{\csc(\phi)}^{\sqrt2} \rho^2 \sin(\phi) \, d\rho \, d\phi \, d\theta} = \frac{4\pi}3$
