    Using Chain Rule to Find Partial Derivatives of a Multivariable Function

    Thanks! Never fails I overlook something simple like that. Other than that, does it appear that I am going about it correctly?

    Using Chain Rule to Find Partial Derivatives of a Multivariable Function

    Homework Statement Suppose $$z=x^2 sin(y), x=5t^2-5s^2, y=4st$$ Use the chain rule to find $$\frac{\partial z}{\partial s} \text{ and } \frac{\partial z}{\partial t}$$ Homework Equations $$\frac{\partial z}{\partial s} = \frac{\partial z}{\partial x} \frac{\partial x}{\partial s} +...

    How do you find the length of the curve defined by r(t) between two points?

    Based on the two points listed, I found that t1 = 1 and t2=2. So next I would then substitute in the t values and solve? I attempted that previously, but I did not get the correct answer. $$\text{Length} = \int_{1}^{2} 5 \sqrt{ \displaystyle 4 + 4 (2^2 -1^2) + \frac{1}{2^2-1^2}} \, dt $$

    How do you find the length of the curve defined by r(t) between two points?

    Homework Statement Consider the path r(t) = <10t,5t2,5ln(t) defined for t >0. Find the length of the curve between (10,5,0) and (20,20,5ln(2)) Homework Equations L= ∫ab |r'(t)|dt The Attempt at a Solution r'(t) = <10, 10t, 5/t> t values are 1 and 2 based on the x values for the points...

    Finding parallel and perpendicular components of F = -11j relative to v = -i-5j

    Thanks, I see what I did wrong on part 3. Part 2 after redoing it again was expecting -0.42307, I rounded too soon it seems

    Finding parallel and perpendicular components of F = -11j relative to v = -i-5j

    Homework Statement The force on an object is F = -11j. For the vector v =-i-5j, find: 1. The component of F parallel to v 2. The component of F perpendicular to v 3. The work, W, done by force F through displacement v Homework Equations ProjvF = v dot F/ |v|2 OrthvF = F - ProjvF W = D...

    Matching sphere equations to graphs

    Here is the problem in its entirety. I didn't include everything initially because I did not have a problem with the other 3. My intention was to present it as if it was simply a problem with a single equation and provided with 6 possible solutions, knowing that one of them must be correct.

    Matching sphere equations to graphs

    One thing is certain, this problem is more of a test of your visual skills rather than testing your ability to solve an equation.. I have reached out to my TA to see if there is any help they can provide as well. I appreciate the help everyone

    Matching sphere equations to graphs

    I agree, I have worked out the other 3 equations and was able to match 2 of them with a diagram fairly easily. But I still have to figure out which one matches the 1st equation(all 4 equations are supposed to be represented in the diagram). Are you saying you do see one with (2,2,1)? If so...

    Matching sphere equations to graphs

    This is the original problem, directly from my assignment. #1 is the one in question. I will say that I failed to use "^" on the 3 variables to plainly indicate that they are squared, but I treated them as such and completed the squares. Just in case the attachment doesn't work, x^2 - 4x +y^2...

    Matching sphere equations to graphs

    My apologies for the typo, I corrected it in the original post. Ultimately, I have what I believe is the correct values, but I am not seeing a sphere whose center is (2,2,1) with a radius of 1/2. The attachment is the image with the spheres, I'm not sure if it shows up embedded in the first post...

    Matching sphere equations to graphs

    I see that, I have it written down correctly on my notebook, resulting in a r of 1/2. I appreciate your response, at this point I am more concerned with getting the correct values than matching to the correct graph. There are 4 total equations, and if even one of the choices are wrong it marks...

    Matching sphere equations to graphs

    I have been given a problem with 4 equations, that need to be matched up to the corresponding image. I have worked the equations already and determined their center, but for the life of me I cannot seem to figure out which graph goes with which equation. The images are not that easy to read...
