.............................................
Given Solution: `a 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. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `qQuery problem 7.1.39 (was 7.1.38) yz-trace of x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 6x - 10 y + 6 z + 30 = 0 YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: z^2+y^2+(0)^2+6z-10y-6(0)+30=0 z^2+y^2+6z-10y+30=0 Now, complete the square...... z^2+6z+(9) y^2-10y+(25)=-30+9+25 ANSWER: (z+3)^2+(y-5)^2=4 confidence rating: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `a The yz trace is characterized by x = 0. The equation of the y-z trace is therefore y^2 - 10 y + z^2 + 6z + 30 = 0. This is the equation of a circle in the y-z plane. Completing the square we get (y^2 - 10 y + 25 - 25) + (z^2 + 6 z + 9 - 9) + 30 = 0 or (y-5)^2 + (z+3)^2 = 4 or (y-5)^2 + (z+3)^2 = 2^2. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `qWhat is the equation of the yz-trace of the given sphere and what shape does this equation define in the y-z plane? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: this is the exact same steps for the same equation as the problem before this one, right? If not, then I am confused. confidence rating: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
