Answer:

66.42°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

A(5, 3t+2, 2)

B(1, 3t, 2)

C(1, 4t, 3)

BA • BC = 4

Step 1: Find t.

First we have to find vectors BA and BC. We do that by subtracting the coordinates of the initial point from the coordinates of the terminal point.

In vector BA B is the initial point and A is the terminal point.

BA = OA - OB = (5-1, 3t+2-3t, 2-2) = (4, 2, 0)

BC = OC - OB = (1-1, 4t-3t, 3-2) = (0, t, 1)

Now we can find t because we know that BA • BC = 4

BA • BC = 4

To find dot product we calculate the sum of the produts of the corresponding components.

BA • BC = (4)(0) + (2)(t) + (0)(1)

4 = (4)(0) + (2)(t) + (0)(1)

4 = 0 + 2t + 0

4 = 2t

2 = t

t = 2

Now we know that:

BA = (4, 2, 0)

BC = (0, 2, 1)

Step 2: Find the angle ∠ABC.

Dot product: a • b = |a| |b| cos(angle)

BA • BC = 4

|BA| |BC| cos(angle) = 4

To get magnitudes we square each compoment of the vector and sum them together. Then square root.

|BA| = \sqrt{4^2 + 2^2 + 0^2} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}

|BC| = \sqrt{0^2 + 2^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{5}

2\sqrt{5}\sqrt{5}\cos{(m\angle{ABC})} = 4

10\cos{(m\angle{ABC})} = 4

\cos(m\angle{ABC}) = \frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

m\angle{ABC} = cos^{-1}{(\frac{2}{5})}

m\angle{ABC} = 66.4218^{\circ}

Rounded to two decimal places:

m\angle{ABC} = 66.42^\circ

How to find the GCF, How to find the factor out the GCF, and what are the solutions.
klasskru [66]

Answer:

GCF = 3

Factor = 3(x^2-100)=0

Solutions are: x = 10, -10

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to factor out GCF which is 3 which then makes the equation 3(x^2-100)=0. After that you basically have (x^2-100)=0. Which then you solve for x which is a difference of squares and the answers are 10 and -10 for x.

Please help I really dont understand
Leviafan [203]

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that Dan chooses a Green card = 0.2

Probability that Esther chooses a Green card = 0.2 (same set of cards = same probability)

Since they are independent events,

total probability = 0.2 * 0.2 = 0.04.

find the equation of the line passes through the point (-1,2) and making an angle of 45° with the line x-y+1=0​
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

line given is x-y+1= 0

you can rewrite it in slope intercept y=mx+b where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept where the line meets the y-axis

x-y+1 =0 subtract x and 1 from both sides of the equation

-y = -x-1 multiply both sides by -1

y = x+1 so the slope of this line is 1 and the y-intercept is 1

If you draw this line you can see that there are actually 2 lines that form 45° angles with y=x+1 and pass through (-1, 2), one is vertical x= -1 and one horizontal y =2
