a. Vector v resolved into components is v =  (3√2/2)i +  (3√2/2)j

b. Vector w resolved into components is w = 0i + (1/2)j +  (√3/2)k

<h3>a. How to resolve vector v into components?</h3>

A vector in 2 dimension is given by r = xi + yj

where

  • x = x- component = rcosθ and
  • y = y-component = rsinθ
  • r = length of vector and
  • θ = angle between vector and x - axis.

Given that the vector v in 2-space of length 3 pointing up at an angle of π/4 measured from the positive x-axis, we have that,

  • r = 3 and
  • θ = π/4

So, v = xi + yj

x =  rcosθ = 3cosπ/4

= 3 × 1/√2

= 3/√2 × √2/√2

= 3√2/2

y =  rsinθ

= 3sinπ/4

= 3 × 1/√2

= 3/√2 × √2/√2

= 3√2/2

So, v =  (3√2/2)i +  (3√2/2)j

Vector v resolved into components is v =  (3√2/2)i +  (3√2/2)j

<h3>b. How to resolve vector w into components?</h3>

A vector in 3 dimension is given by r = xi + yj + zk

where

  • x = x- component = rsinαcosθ and
  • y = y-component = rsinαsinθ
  • z = z-component = rcosα
  • r = length of vector and
  • θ = angle between vector and x - axis.
  • α = angle between vector and z - axis

Given that the vector w in 3-space of length 1 lying in the yz-plane pointing upwards at an angle of 2π/3 measured from the positive x-axis, we have that,

  • r = 1 and
  • θ = π/2  (since the vector is in the yz-plane)
  • Now, π - 2π/3 = π/3(angle between w and negative y-axis)
  • so, α = π/2 - π/3 = π/6(angle between w and positive z-axis)

So, v = xi + yj + zk

x =  rsinαcosθ

= 1 × sin(π/6)cos(π/2)

= 1 × 1/2 × 0

= 0

y = rsinαcosθ

= 1 × sin(π/6)sin(π/2)

= 1 × 1/2 × 1

= 1/2

z = rcosα

= 1 × cos(π/6)

= 1 × √3/2

= √3/2

So, w =  0i + (1/2)j +  (√3/2)k

Vector w resolved into components is w = 0i + (1/2)j +  (√3/2)k

N Example 3, the points are(0,3500) and (5,1750). Write an equation that represents the distance y (in feet) remaining after x m
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

<h2>The time needed is 10 months.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (0, 3500) and (5, 1750).

First, we use the formula below to find the slope of the line

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{1750-3500}{5-0}=\frac{-1750}{5}=-350

Which means the function is deacrasing with a ratio of 350 feet per month.

Now, we use the slope and one point to find the equation

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-1750=-350(x-5)\\y=-350x+1750+1750\\y=-350x+3500

This linear function shows that the situation started at the y-intecept (0, 3500), which means the month 0 had already 3500 feet. In other words, the total distance is 3500 feet. Now, the x-intercept will tell us the time needed to travel that distance.

0=-350x+3500\\-3500=-350x\\x=\frac{-3500}{-350}\\ x=10

Therefore, the time needed is 10 months.

What is 500 rounded to the nearest hundred
rosijanka [135]

Answer: 500

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why it's 500 because it's already been rounded. 500 stays as 500 bc numbers 4 and below goes down to 0 when rounding. When rounding 0-4 with just the ones place it stays the same.
