Suppose two vectors point in opposite directions. This means their cross product must be zero. True or false?

1 answer:

8 0

It is true if two vectors point in opposite directions. This means their cross product must be zero.

<h3>What is cross product?</h3>

Cross product is a vector product of two vectors in the three dimensional vector space.

In the case when the two vectors point in opposite directions so there cross product should be zero.

Impact on two points:

In the case when the two vectors point in opposite directions so there cross product should be zero.

A*B = [A][B] sin

Here theta is be the angle that lies between them

So,

A*B = [A][B] sin 180

So, A*B = 0

hence, the given statement is true.

Frankie wants to build a path from one corner of his hard to the opposite corner his yard measures 20ft x 32ft what will be the

Papessa [141]

Answer:

37.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Measurements of Frankie's yard = 20ft x 32ft

He wants to build a path from one corner to another.

To find:

The length of path = ?

Solution:

Let us consider a rectangle $ABCD$ as shown in the attached image in the answer area.

We are given the two adjacent sides of a rectangle and we have to find diagonal of the rectangle.

To find the diagonal, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

We are given the base and perpendicular of the right angled triangle and we have to find the hypotenuse.

According to Pythagorean theorem:

$\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}$

$Diagonal = 20^2 + 32^2\\\Rightarrow Diagonal = 400 + 1024\\\Rightarrow Diagonal = \bold{37.7\ ft}$

I need help with my algebra fraction assignments. I need help with page 2, 3,4,5 and 7. I also have additional albebra fraction

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

#2 the answer is B, -16/9

do 1/4-5/2

to do this, find the least common denominator. it's 4

1/4-10/4=-9/4

then divide 4 by -9/4. This is the same as 4*-4/9. That is -16/9

#3 the answer is A 9x/x-8

first factor the denominator of the first fraction using special products

x^2-6x-16=(x-8)(x+2)

if you look at the first fraction, you can simplify x+2 leaving you with the fraction 1/x+8

multiply that by 9x, and you get 9x/x-8

#4 the answer is C (2x+1)/2x^2

first add x/4 and 1/8

find the least common denominator. its 8

2x/8 + 1/8 is equal to (2x+1)/8

then multiply that by x^2/4 because dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying its reciprocal

you get (2x+1)/2x^2

#5 the answer is C (x-8)/(x+3)

using special products you can factor the numerator

x^2-4x-32 is the same as (x-8)(x+4)

then, using special products you can also factor the denominator

x^2+7x+12 is the same as (x+4)(x+3)

you can see that both the numerator and the denominator is multiplied by (x+4) you can simplify that. That leaves you with (x-8)/(x+3)

#7 the answer is D 3m

in the numerator in the second fraction, you can factor out 5m^2

leaving you with 5m^2(m-6)/5m^2. simplify the 5m^2 and the m-6

after you simplify both of those, you will get 3m
