Question: `qQuery problem 7.1.24 picture of sphere, diam from (-1,-2,1) to (0, 3, 3).

What is the standard form of the equation of the pictured sphere?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

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

(x - (-1/2) )^2 + (y - 1/2)^2 + (z-2)^2 = 15/2.

confidence rating #$&*:3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

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.

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:

(y^2 - 10 y + 25 - 25) + (z^2 + 6 z + 9 - 9) + 30 = 0

confidence rating #$&*:3

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

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