[T] The “bumpy sphere” with an equation in spherical coordinates is ρ=a+bcos(mθ)sin(nφ), with θ∈[0,2π] and φ∈[0,π], where a and b are positive numbers and m and n are positive integers, may be used in applied mathematics to model tumor growth.
a. Show that the “bumpy sphere” is contained inside a sphere of equation ρ=a+b. Find the values of θ and φ at which the two surfaces intersect.
b. Use a CAS to graph the surface for a=14, b=2, m=4, and n=6 along with sphere ρ=a+b.
c. Find an equation of the intersection curve of the surface at b. with the cone φ=12π. Graph the intersection curve in the plane of intersection.
