Answer:

1/4 +1/4 +1/4

or add 1/12 9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

9/12

try to find the greatest common factor of both the numerator and denominator.

(a number that you can divide both the top number and bottom number with)

in this case, the greatest common factor is 3. once you divide the numerator and denominator by 3, it leaves you with a fraction 3/4

you can add 1/4 3 times to get 9/12

1/4 +1/4+1/4

or you could just add 1/12 9 times

$\cfrac{9}{12}\implies \cfrac{1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1}{12} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{12}+\cfrac{1}{12}+\cfrac{1}{12}+\cfrac{1}{12}+\cfrac{1}{12}+\cfrac{1}{12}+\cfrac{1}{12}+\cfrac{1}{12}+\cfrac{1}{12}$

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.

Thus, we can square root both sides and only consider the positive root as,

$\Rightarrow \rho sin\phi=1$

This is the required equation of the cylinder in spherical coordinates.

Final answer:

(a) The equation of the given sphere in cylindrical coordinates is $r^{2}+z^{2}=25$

(b) The equation of the given cylinder in spherical coordinates is $\rho sin\phi=1$

How should the decimal point in 34.05 be moved to determine the product 34.05 × 10 to the power of 6?

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The decimal point should be moved Six places to the right side because there are Six zeros in 10 to the power of 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have to represent the number in the form of $10^{6}$ we need to move the decimal Six places towards left because there are Six zeros in $10^{6}$ i.e. 1000000. For this purpose we will add four zeros to the left of the number.

So the number in the format mentioned in question will look like -

0.00003405 × $10^{6}$ .

5. Identify the type and subtype of each of the fol-

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a) Kylie has 8 marbles

b) 7 Cylinders

c) 17 carrots

d) 8 marbles belong to Shauntay

Step-by-step explanation:

5. Identify the type and subtype of each of the fol-

lowing problems.

a. Shawn has 15 marbles, which is 7 more marbles than Kyle has. How many marbles does Kyle have?

Shawn = 15 marbles

S = K + 7

15 = K + 7

K = 15 - 7

K = 8 marbles

Kylie has 8 marbles

b. Tiffany has 12 blocks, 5 of which are cubes and the rest cylinders. How many blocks are cylinders?

T = 12 blocks

Cubes = 5

Cylinders = the rest

12 blocks = Cubes + Cylinders

Cylinders = 12 - Cubes

Cylinders = 12 - 5

Cylinder = 7

c. Peter had some carrots. After he ate 3 of them, he had 14 carrots left. How many carrots did Peter have before?

Number of carrots Peter has before

= Number of carrots he ate + Number of carrots he has now

= 14 + 3

= 17 carrots

d. In a bag of 17 marbles, 9 marbles belong to Kelly and the rest belong to Shauntay. How many marbles belong to Shauntay?

Total number of Marbles = 17

Kelly = 9 marbles

Shauntay = ?

Total = Kelly + Shauntay

Shauntay = Total - Kelly's marbles

= ( 17 - 9) marbles

= 8 marbles

8 marbles belong to Shauntay
