A straight line L and a plane P in R3 are defined by the equations
EQN.OF PLANE P........ 2x − 3y + z = 1
and EQN.OF LINE L.....(x, y, z) = (1,−1, 2) + t (1, 2, 3), t any real number.
(a) Say briefly but clearly how you know the line L does not pass through the point
(−1,−5,−3)....THIS DOES NOT SATISFY EQN.L.FOR ONE VALUE OF T AS SHOWN BELOW
-1=1+T...OR....T=-2...
-5=-1+2T...OR....T=-2..OK
-3=2+3T.....OR....T=-5/3....NOT TALLYING
(b) Say briefly but clearly how you know that the plane P does not pass through the origin....ORIGIN IS (0,0,0)...THIS DOES NOT SATISFY EQN.P...WE GET 0=1
(c) Write the equation for the line perpendicular to the plane P and passing through the
origin....LINE PERPENDICULAR TO PLANE IS PARALLEL TO PLANE'S NORMAL WHICH HAS DRS OF 2,-3,1...LINE PASSES THROUGH (0,0,0)..SO EQN OF LINE IS
X/2 = Y/-3 = Z/1
(d) Write the equation for the plane perpendicular to L and passing through the point
(0, 1, 3)..........DRS OF LINE ARE 1,2,3...THE REQD.PLANE IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE LINE.HENCE ITS NORMAL IS PARALLEL TO LINE.HENCE DRS OF NORMAL ARE SAME AS DRS OF LINE..THAT IS 1,2,3...HENCE EQN.OF PLANE IS X+2Y+3Z=K...IT PASSES THROUGH
(0,1,3)....SO.....0+1*2+3*3=K=11
EQN. OF REQD. PLANE IS ..................X+2Y+3Z=11
(e) Write the equation for the xz-plane.

Graphs/31796: Can someone help? and check my answer to see if im doing this right?
For the function y = x^2 - 4x - 5, perform the following tasks:
(1)Put the function in the form y = a(x - h)^2 + k.
I got the answer: y = (x-2)^2 - 9
What is the line of symmetry?
I got the answer: x = 2
Graph the function using the equation in part (1). Explain why it is not necessary to plot points to graph when using y = a (x – h)^2 + k.
how does this graph compare to the graph of y = x^2? 1 solutions

I got the answer: y = (x-2)^2 - 9......................OK
What is the line of symmetry?
I got the answer: x = 2...OK..VERY GOOD
Graph the function using the equation in part (1).

Explain why it is not necessary to plot points to graph when using y = a (x – h)^2 + k.
YOU CAN DRAW LINE OF SYMMETRY.,PLOT VERTEX AND SKETCH THE GRAPH ON EITHER SIDE OF LINE OF SYMMETRY BY SMOOTH LINES NOTING,THE X INTERCEPTS OF -1 AND 5 AND THAT Y TENDS TO INFINITY AS X TENDS TO INFINITY.
how does this graph compare to the graph of y = x^2?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEE THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE WHICH IS ALMOST SAME AS YOUR PROBLEM AND TRY.IF STILL IN DIFFICULTY PLEASE COME BACK.
Y=X^2-2X-3=X^2-2*X*1+1^2-1-3=(X-1)^2-1-3=(X-1)^2-4=0
X INTERCEPT IS OBTAINED BY PUTTING Y=0....WE GET
X^2-2X-3=0=X^2-3X+X-3=X(X-3)+1(X-3)=(X-3)(X+1)=0...SO..X=3 OR -1...
Y INTERCEPT IS GOT BY PUTTING X =0...WE GET
Y=0-0-3=-3
SEE THE GRAPH BELOW ......
graph( 500, 500, -10, 20, -20, 20,x^2-2x-3 )
THE AXIS IS X=1 AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE GRAPH
ONE POINT SYMMETRIC TO Y INTERCEPT??NO...SYMMETRIC TO AXIS IT IS......(-1,3)
******************************************************************************
I have to put this equation y=x^2-2x-15 into this form y=a(x-h)^2+k.
MAKE A PERFECT SQUARE USING X^2 AND X TERMS.ADD AND SUBTRACT THE REQUIRED CONSTANT FOR THE PURPOSE.
Y=(X-1)^2-1-15=(X-1)^2-16...COMPARING WITH THE ABOVE
y=a(x-h)^2+k.
WE GET A=1 AND K=-16
I have to find the line of symmetry.
X-1=0 IS THE LINE OF SYMMETRY SINCE ON EITHER SIDE OF X=1,WE GET SYMMETRIC/SAME VALUES FOR Y..AT X=1+2=3..Y IS -12 AND AT X=1-2=-1 ALSO WE GET Y=-12
(h,k)=vertex I think you use complete the square technique.
YA ..THE VERTEX AS YOU SHOULD KNOW NOW IS AT X=1 AND AT X=1 ,Y=-16 .SO (1,-16) IS THE VERTEX
THE GRAPH WILL LOOK LIKE THIS
graph( 500, 500, -10, 20, -20, 20, x^2-2x-15 )
Please help. thanks

How heavy was the heaviest man?
LET THE WEIGHTS 5 MEN IN ORDER OF DECREASING WEIGHT BE A,B,C,D,E
WHEN THEY WEIGH IN PAIRS WE GET 5C2=5*4/2=10 DIFFERENT PAIRS OR 20 MEN
HENCE THE TOTAL WEIGHT IS FOUR TIMES THE WEIGHT OF THE 5 MEN'S TOTAL WEIGHT
4(A+B+C+D+E)=236+244+228+250+258+230+246+238+242+252=2424
A+B+C+D+E=606..............I
NOW HEAVIEST IS A+B=258.........II
NEXT HEAVY IS A+C=252...........III
LIGHTEST =D+E=228.................IV
EQN.I-EQN.IV...GIVES..
A+B+C+D+E-D-E=606-228=374
A+B+C=374.....................V
EQN.II+EQN.III GIVES
A+B+A+C=258+252=510
2A+B+C=510.................VI
EQN.VI-EQ.EQN.V...GIVES...
2A+B+C-A-B-C=510-374=136
A=136
SO HEAVIEST MAN'S WEIGHT =136

You can put this solution on YOUR website!LET Y = x^3-3x^2+3x-9=0
I got x=3; x=3i; x=-3i...how do I plug answers back in to check solution?
HOW DID YOU GET THOSE ANSWERS?...ANY WAY ,YOU HAVE TO JUST SUBSTITUTE THOSE VALUES FOR X AND CHECK
1...X=3...Y=3^3-3*3^2+3*3-9=27-27+9-9=0...OK..
2...X=3i..Y=(3i)^3-3*(3i)^2+3*(3i)-9=27*(i^2)(i)-27(i)^2+9i-9=-27i+27+9i-9=-18i+18...
THIS IS NOT ZERO HENCE THIS IS NOT A ROOT
3...X=-3i..Y=(-3i)^3-3*(-3i)^2+3(-3i)-9=-27(i^2)(i)-27(i^2)-9i-9=27i+27-9i-9=18i+18...
THIS IS NOT ZERO ..HENCE THIS IS NOT A ROOT..
THE CORRECT ANSWERS ARE
X=3
X=i*SQRT(3)
X=-i*SQRT(3)
YOU CAN CHECK BY SUBSTITUTION AS SHOWN ABOVE

Functions/34421: find the domain of the sqrt (3-x)/x 1 solutions
Answer 20705 by venugopalramana(3286) on 2006-04-21 05:34:31 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!LET Y =SQRT{(3-X)/X}THIS IS THE PROBLEM OR IS IT {SQRT(3-X)}/X..PLEASE PUT BRACKETS APPROPRIATELY..OK LET US TAKE
Y={SQRT(3-X)}/X
SO (3-X) CAN NOT BE NEGATIVE..THAT IS 3>=X...OR....X<=3
FURTHER WE HAVE X IN DENOMINATOR ..HENCE X SHOULD NOT BE ZERO.
SO DOMAIN OF THE FUNCTION IS X<=3 BUT NOT EQUAL TO ZERO.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Find two numbers, given that the second is 3 times the first. If you multiply the first number by the second number and the second number by 4, the sum of the products is 420.
LET FIRST NUMBER =X
SEOND NUMBER =3 TIMES FIRST =3*X
MULTIPLY THE FIRST NUMBER BY SECOND WE GET =X*3X=3X^2
MULTIPLY SECOND NUMBER BY 4 WE GET =4*3*X=12X
SUM OF 2 PRODUCTS =3X^2+12X=420...DIVIDING WITH 3 WE GET
X^2+4X=140
X^2+4X-140=0
X^2+14X-10X-140=0
X(X+14)-10(X+14)=0
(X-10)(X+14)=0
X-10=0 ....OR....X=10
SO THE 2 NUMBER ARE 10 AND 30....
OTHER POSSIBILITY IS X+14=0...OR X=-14...THE SECOND NUMBER IS -42

*15 students that take algebra II also take Chemistry
*20 students that take algebra II also take Spanish
*22 students that take Chemistry also take Spanish
*12 students take Chemistry algebra II and Spanish
*31 students take none of th three classes
How many students are in the class?
I know the answer is 250... i solved it using a venn diagram and the teacher said it was right... but he said that there is a formulaic way to solve it and is giving MAJOR bonus points if i figure it out... so PLEASE i nned it solved out mathatmatically (meaning a formula) 1 solutions

I AM USING * SYMBOL FOR INTERSECTION...X*Y MEANS X INTERSECTION Y.
AND # SYMBOL FOR UNION .....X#Y MEANS X UNION Y.
AND | MEANS COMPLEMENT OR NEGATION.....X| MEANS NOT X.
In the Junior Class the Followin statistics are true...
*116 students take algebra II...=A SAY
*99 students take Chemistry.....=C SAY
*49 take Spanish................=S SAY
*15 students that take algebra II also take Chemistry...= A AND C = A*C
*20 students that take algebra II also take Spanish.....= A AND S = A*S
*22 students that take Chemistry also take Spanish......= C AND S = C*S
*12 students take Chemistry algebra II and Spanish......= C AND A AND S = C*A*S
*31 students take none of th three classes..............= NEITHER C NOR A NOR S = (C|)#(A|)#(S|)
How many students are in the class?
I know the answer is 250... i solved it using a venn diagram and the teacher said it was right...
NOW LOOK AT YOUR VENN DIAGRAM AND ANALYSE....YOU WILL FIND...
A INCLUDES FOUR DISJOINT OR SEPERATE PARTS.. A*C ONLY,A*S ONLY, A ONLY AND FINALLY A AND C AND S
SIMILARLY
C INCLUDES FOUR DISJOINT OR SEPERATE PARTS.. C*A ONLY,C*S ONLY,C ONLY AND FINALLY C AND A AND S
SIMILARLY
S INCLUDES FOUR DISJOINT OR SEPERATE PARTS.. S*A ONLY,S*C ONLY,S ONLY AND
FINALLY S AND A AND C.
HENCE IF WE TOTAL A,C AND S WE GET A#C#S=TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS TAKING ANY ONE OR MORE OF THESE 3 TOPICS BUT INCUDING THE DUPLICATED COUNTS OF THOSE TAKING MORE THAN ONE TOPIC...FURTHER WE FIND WITHIN THOSE ARE THERE TAKING ONLY ONE TOPIC,ONLY 2 TOPICS AND ALL 3 TOPICS..THAT IS MATHEMATICALLY SPEAKING
A INCUDES A*C AND A*C INCLUDES A*C*S...SIMILAR LOGIC HOLDS FOR ALL OTHER PARAMETERS...NOW WITH THE HELP OF VENN DIAGRAM ,WE CAN REMOVE THIS DUPLICATION..METHODICLLY AS FOLLOWS
TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS TAKING ANY ONE OF THE 3 TOPICS(T)
T=(A#C#S)-{A*C+A*S+C*S-(A*C*S)}=A#C#S-A*C-A*S-C*S+A*C*S
TO GET THE TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THE CLASS (G.T)WE SHOULD ADD TO THE ABOVE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS TAKING NONE OF THE ABOVE 3 TOPICS..THAT IS
G.T=A#C#S-A*C-A*S-C*S+A*C*S+A|#C|#S|
=116+99+49-15-20-22+12+31=250
THAT IS YOUR MATHEMATICAL FORMULA,,
HOPE YOU UNDERSTOOD AND YOU WILL GET YOUR BONUS SCORE...DONT FORGET TO REPLACE THE ABOVE SYMBOLS FOR INTERSECTION(*),UNION(#) AND NEGATION (|)WITH PROPER MATHS
SYMBOLS
but he said that there is a formulaic way to solve it and is giving MAJOR bonus points if i figure it out... so PLEASE i nned it solved out mathatmatically (meaning a formula)

thanks 1 solutions
Answer 20695 by venugopalramana(3286) on 2006-04-21 01:16:58 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!(t^3-t^2+t-1)divided by (t+1)
DO IT BY SHORT DIVISION METHOD...PUT T+1=0...SO T=-1
USE THIS TO DIVIDE....WRITE COEFFICIENTS IN ORDER
-1|.....1......-1........1..........-1
........0......-1........2..........-3
----------------------------------------------
........1......-2........3..........-4
SO ANSWER IS
T^2-2T+3.....AND REMAINDER IS -4.

P(K)=(4K-2)...SO WE HAVE TO ADD THE NEXT TERM THAT IS P(K+1) TO BOTH SIDES TO PROVE THE EQUALITY BY INDUCTION METHOD.
SO P(K+1)=4(K+1)-2=4K+4-2=4K+2 IS THE NUMBER WE SHOULD ADD TO BOTH SIDES ....A IS THE ANSWER.
