2 3) The following table gives the number f (x, y) of grape vines, in thousands, of age x in year y.In 1986 a successful advertising campaign led to a dramatic increase in demand for premium wines. The growers followed by adding many more plants. Suppose a vine (the plant) produces the first harvestable grapes at age five, and is removed after sixteen years. How many (thousand) grape vines that bear fruit were there in the year 1986 and how many will be there in the year 1993 (assuming that no current vines die before 1993)?Enter your answers separated by a semi-colon.
Answer: 11,000; 40,000

3 5) (i) Find an equation of the largest sphere that can fit inside the cubical space enclosed by the planes and (ii) If we replace the plane z = 9 in part (a) with what will be the new equation of the largest sphere?
- (i) + + = 25
- (i) + + = 25
- (i) + + = 100
- (i) + + = 100
(ii) + + = 25, 4 ≤ c ≤ 6
(ii) + + = 25

6) Consider the sphere
+ + = 25
(i) What are the center and radius of this sphere?(ii) Find an equation of the circle (if any) where the sphere intersects the plane
- (i) Center (5, -3, -1), Radius 5.
(ii) Substituting gives ( + = -11 so there is no such circle.
- (i) Center (-5, 3, 1), Radius 5.
(ii) ( + = 11.
- (i) Center (5, -3, -1), Radius 25.
(ii) Substituting gives ( + = -11 so there is no such circle.
- (i) Center (-5, 3, 1), Radius 25.
(ii) ( + = 11.
