Determine whether the lines l1 and l2 are parallel, skew, or intersecting. l1: x = 6 + 4t, y = 8 − 2t, t = 2 + 6t l2: x = 4 + 16

s, y = 12 − 8s, z = 16 + 20s

<span>The lines are skew. I am assuming that there's a typo in the equation for the l1. The equation t = 2 + 6t should be z = 2 + 6t. So the two lines are: l1: x =6 + 4t, y = 8 - 2t, z = 2 + 6t l2: x = 4+16s, y = 12 - 8s, z = 16 + 20s Let's check if the lines are parallel. Direction vector for l1 is <4,-2,6) and l2 is <16,-8,20>. At first glance the direction vector for l2 looks to be 4 times that of l1, let's divide l2's vector by 4 and verify that it's proportional to l1's vector. <16/4, -8/4, 20/4> = <4, -2, 5>. So l1 and l2 are NOT parallel since their direction vectors are not proportional. Let's see if the lines intersect. Set their equations equal to each other. (1) 6 + 4t = 4+16s (2) 8 - 2t = 12 - 8s (3) 2 + 6t = 16 + 20s We have 2 unknowns and 3 equations. Let's triple equation (2) above and add to equation (3) in order to solve for s. Note: Equations (2) and (3) were selected since the ratios in the direct vectors for the x and y components are the same. So selecting (1) and (2) would cancel out both s & t. So (3) has to be used as one of the equations and either (1) or (2) can be used. But the ratios for (2) are simpler than for (1). So (2) and (3) are the equations selected. 24 - 6t = 36 - 24s 2 + 6t = 16 + 20s 26 = 52 - 4s -26 = -4s 6.5 = s 2 + 6t = 16 + 20s 2 + 6t = 16 + 20*6.5 2 + 6t = 16 + 130 2 + 6t = 146 6t = 144 t = 24 So we have a s of 6.5 and a t of 24. Let's check that the points match. l1: x =6 + 4t, y = 8 - 2t, z = 2 + 6t l1: x =6 + 4*24, y = 8 - 2*24, z = 2 + 6*24 l1: x =6 + 96, y = 8 - 48, z = 2 + 144 l1: x =102, y = -40, z = 146 l2: x = 4+16s, y = 12 - 8s, z = 16 + 20s l2: x = 4+16*6.5, y = 12 - 8*6.5, z = 16 + 20*6.5 l2: x = 4+104, y = 12 - 52, z = 16 + 130 l2: x = 108, y = -40, z = 146 If we get the y and z coordinates to match, the x coordinates don't match, so the lines don't intersect. And since the lines are not parallel, nor do they intersect, then they must be skew.</span>

a carpenter has a board that is 8 feet long. he cuts off two pieces. one piece is 31/2 Feet long and the other is 21/3 Feet long
LenKa [72]
First, add the two measurements up, then subtract it from 8.

3 1/2 + 2 1/3

Convert to improper fractions:

7/2 + 7/3

Convert to denominators of 6:

21/6 + 14/6

Add the numerators:

35/6

Subtract from 8:

8 - 35/6

Convert 8 into a denominator of 6:

48/6 - 35/6

Subtract the numerators:

13/6

Convert to a mixed number:

2 1/6

So 2 1/6 of the board is left.

Three data sets show the number of text messages sent by Jada, Diego, and Lin over the past 6 days as well as the mean number of
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Jada: 1

Diego: 4/3

Lin: 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find MAD, you calculate the mean of the data sets (which you were given in this case), and then find the distance of each number in the data set from the mean. You then write all the distances down, and then find the mean of THAT. Now you have your MAD.

Example (Jada)

Data set: 4,4,4,6,6,6

Mean: 5

Distances: 1,1,1,1,1,1

Mean of distances (and therefore the MAD):

(1+1+1+1+1+1) divided by 6 = 1
