The answer is the option C 

Find unit vector.

Definition of unit vector :

<span>u is a unit vector, it has the same direction as v then </span>

v--------------(7,-9)         (-17,4)

v=(-24,13)

u<span> is a unit vector, it has the same direction as </span>v

magnitude of v---------(-24^2+13^2)^0.5=725^0.5

 u=(-24/(725)^.5),(13/(725)^.5)

Answer:

u_{v}=-\frac{24}{\sqrt{745} }i +\frac{13}{\sqrt{745} } j

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial point of the vector is at (7,-9).

The terminal point of the vector is at (-17,4).

First, we need to find the same vector with initial point at the origin of the coordinate system. We do that by finding its horizontal length and its vertical length.

\Delta x = -17 - 7=-24\\\Delta y = 4-(-9)=13

So, the vector with initial point at the origin is

v=-24i+13j

Where i represents horizontal direction and j represents vertical direction.

Now, we need to find the module of this vector

|v|=\sqrt{(-24)^{2}+(13)^{2}  }=\sqrt{576+169}\\  |v|=\sqrt{745}

The uni vector is defined by the quotient between the vector and its module.

u_{v} =\frac{v}{|v|}

Replacing each part, we have

u_{v}=\frac{-24i+13j}{\sqrt{745} }\\  u_{v}=-\frac{24}{\sqrt{745} }i +\frac{13}{\sqrt{745} } j

Therefore, the right answer is the third choice.

Answer:

Range is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Range can be calculated by subtracting the smallest value of the data set from the largest value of the data set.

The values are:

13, 17, 18, 15, 12, 21, 10, 6, 8, 11, 3

Largest Value in this data set:  21

Smallest Value in this data set: 3

Range = Largest Value - Smallest Value

Range = 21 - 3

Range = 18

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it's A because it mostly multiplies then adds and subtracts so you get your answer doing this

In this equation, y-4/2=10, would i need to get the same denominator<br> y-4/2=10/2 = y-2=5?
Natasha_Volkova [10]
No actually you can just multiply both sides of the equation by 2 and get y-4=20. then add 4 to both sides to get y=24.
