Can anyone please help me with this question please? I am stuck!
**Question**: What are the spherical coordinates of the point whose rectangular coordinates are (4, 1, -5)?

**Spherical Coordinates Calculation**:

1. **ρ (rho) =** [Box for answer]
2. **θ (theta) =** [Box for answer]
3. **Φ (phi) =** [Box for answer]

To find the spherical coordinates from the rectangular coordinates (x, y, z), use the following formulas:
- \( \rho = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} \)
- \( \theta = \arctan\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) \) 
- \( \Phi = \arccos\left(\frac{z}{\rho}\right) \)

Apply these formulas to the given coordinates (4, 1, -5).

(Note: The given text and setup suggest a problem-solving context for students to practice converting rectangular coordinates to spherical coordinates.)

**Question:**

What are the spherical coordinates of the point whose rectangular coordinates are \((4, 1, -5)\)?

**Solution:**

To find the spherical coordinates \((\rho, \theta, \phi)\), we use the following conversions from rectangular coordinates \((x, y, z)\):

1. \(\rho = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}\)
2. \(\theta = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\)
3. \(\phi = \cos^{-1} \left(\frac{z}{\rho}\right)\)

Based on these formulas, calculate \(\rho\), \(\theta\), and \(\phi\) using \(x = 4\), \(y = 1\), and \(z = -5\).

Fill in the boxes with the calculated values for \(\rho\), \(\theta\), and \(\phi\). 

Feel free to use a calculator for finding square roots and inverse trigonometric functions as needed.
