Answer:
Total number of dogs is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cups of food each dog gets=
Here,each dog eats two-third cups of dog food.
Amount of dog food used=
A total of three and one-third cups of food is used up.
Let the number of dogs be x.
To find the number of dogs,divide total dog food used by the amount of dog food eaten by each dog.
Hence, x =
x =
x =5
Let the curve C be the intersection of the cylinder
and the plane
The projection of C on to the x-y plane is the ellipse
To see clearly that this is an ellipse, le us divide through by 16, to get
or
,
We can write the following parametric equations,
for
Since C lies on the plane,
it must satisfy its equation.
Let us make z the subject first,
This implies that,
We can now write the vector equation of C, to obtain,
The length of the curve of the intersection of the cylinder and the plane is now given by,
But
Therefore the length of the curve of the intersection intersection of the cylinder and the plane is 24.0878 units correct to four decimal places.
