Query problem 7.1.24 picture of sphere, diam from (-1,-2,1) to (0, 3, 3).

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Midpoint= (-1/2, 1/2, 2)

(-1 + 1/2)^2 + (-2 - 1/2)^2 + (1-2)^2 = r^2

.25 + 6.25 + 1 = r^2

r= 2.74

(x+1/2)^2 + (y - 1/2)^2 + (z- 2)^2 = 2.74

** You should have used the exact expression for the diameter. Otherwise everything looks great. Compare with the following:

The midpoint between (-1, -2, 1) and (0, 3, 3) is (-1/2, 1/2, 2).

Thus the sphere will have the form (x - (-1/2) )^2 + (y - 1/2)^2 + (z-2)^2 = r^2.

r is half the diameter, which is half of `sqrt( (0 - -1)^2 + (3 - -2)^2 + (3 - 1)^2 ) = `sqrt(1+25+4) = `sqrt(30). The radius is therefore `sqrt(30) / 2 and r^2 = 30 / 4 = 15/2.

The equation is therefore (x - (-1/2) )^2 + (y - 1/2)^2 + (z-2)^2 = 15/2. **

What is the equation of the yz-trace of the given sphere and what shape does this equation define in the y-z plane?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

yz trace

x=0

y^2 + z^2 - 10y + 6z = -30

(y^2 - 10y + 25) + (z^2 + 6z + 9)

34+ -30= 4

(y-5)^2 + (z+3)^2 = 4= 2^2

radius= 2

I feel unusually confident with this assignment. But, considering it is the 7th chapter in Calc 2, I am sure I didn't do some things right. Please let me know how thigns went.
