What is Calc 3: Definition and 106 Discussions

The calc-alkaline magma series is one of two main subdivisions of the subalkaline magma series, the other subalkaline magma series being the tholeiitic series. A magma series is a series of compositions that describes the evolution of a mafic magma, which is high in magnesium and iron and produces basalt or gabbro, as it fractionally crystallizes to become a felsic magma, which is low in magnesium and iron and produces rhyolite or granite. Calc-alkaline rocks are rich in alkaline earths (magnesia and calcium oxide) and alkali metals and make up a major part of the crust of the continents.
The diverse rock types in the calc-alkaline series include volcanic types such as basalt, andesite, dacite, rhyolite, and also their coarser-grained intrusive equivalents (gabbro, diorite, granodiorite, and granite). They do not include silica-undersaturated, alkalic, or peralkaline rocks.

    Is This the Correct Way to Graph the Domain of a Function in Calc 3?

    Hello guys I am not sure if I am doing this right. If you could offer any advice or point out my mistakes I would appreciate it. Problem: Sketch the graph of the domain of f(x,y,z) = \frac{1}{x^2+y^2-z} Domain: (x,y,z) \in R^3 \mid x^2+y^2 does not equal z Graph: I set f(x,y,z) = 1 and...

    Easy calc 3 question: points on a plane

    The question asks: Which of the points P(3,2,1), Q(2,3,1),R(1,4,1) lie on the plane 3(x-1)+4y-5(z+2)=0? I know this is a pretty easy problem...but I am drawing a blank on where to start? Should I form vectors from each point ? If so, then what? A little lost! Thanks

    Finding Spheres Tangent to Three Coordinate Planes: A Calc 3 Problem

    The question asks to find each sphere that passes through the point (5,1,4) and are tangent to all three coordinate planes. How would I set that up? I have no problem finding the equation of a sphere when they give the center point and the radius, of course, but what do I need to know to find...

    Finding Perpendicular Vector and Area of Triangle Using Cross Product

    I am having trouble setting this problem up. The problem says: Find a vector N that is perpendicular to the plane determined by the points P(0,1,0), Q(-1,1,2), R(2,1,-1), and find the area of triangle PQR. I know that the cross product of two vectors is perpendicular to the plane of a and b...
