<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>

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

\frac{48+5j}{j}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Complete Question:</u>

Angela shared a cab with her friends . When they arrived at their destination, they evenly divided the $48 fare among "j" of them . Angela gave the cab $5 tip. How much did Angela pay in total?

<u>Solution:</u>

The fare was $48 and including Angela, there were j people, so each paid:

48/j

Also, Angela paid $5 additionally.

So, Angela paid:

48/j  ---  when dividing evenly

5  ---   as a tip

Total Angela Paid:  =\frac{48}{j}+5\\=\frac{48+5j}{j}

Total Payment:  \frac{48+5j}{j}

Paul works for a company that deals in paints and dyes. He is paid a fixed monthly salary plus 15 percent commission on monthly
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Since x dollars is the total monthly sales Paul makes when his sales exceed 20,000 dollars, then the function f(x) should add x dollars and $20,000. The answer is B. x+20,000.


Assuming that x dollars is still the sales after gaining $20,000, then 15 percent of x is modeled by B. 0.15x.

Every given minute an ameba is equally likely to do one of 3 things: (1) Die (2) Divide into two (3) Stay the same. If the ameba
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the probability of dyng = 1.3

we have probability of ying =

p0 = p1 = p2 = p3 = 1/3

d = dying

d=\frac{1}{3} (1+d+d2)

we cross multiply from here

3d = 1+d+d2

3d-d = 1+d2

2d = 1 + d2

(d-1)2 = 0

2d - 2 = 0

2d = 2

divide through by 2

d = 1

therefore there is a a confirmed probability that the ameba from a single cell is eventually going to die out.
