Answer:

49°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given vectors:

a = [-8, 6]

B = [√7, 3]

θ = ?

To find the angle between the two vectors, we will be using the formula,

                                   a.B = |a||B|cosθ

For simplicity, it is good to first calculate the dot product, and the magnitudes. Then we will substitute the values of the dot product, and the magnitudes of the vectors to solve for the angle.

Calculating the dot product

         a.B = (-8, 6) . (√7, 3)

               = (-8 × √7) + (6 × 3)

               = -8√7 + 18

               = 18 - 8√7

               = 10√7

Calculating the magnitude the vectors

1. The magnitude of vector (-8, 6)    

                |a| = \sqrt{(-8)^{2} + 6^{2}}

                |a| = \sqrt{64 + 36}

                |a| = \sqrt{100}

                |a| = 10

2. The magnitude of vector (√7, 3)

                |B| = \sqrt{(\sqrt{7})^{2} + 3^{2}}

                |B| = \sqrt{7 + 9}

                |B| = \sqrt{16}

                |B| = 4

Calculating the angle between the vectors,

                cosθ = \frac{a.B}{|a||B|}

                cosθ = \frac{10\sqrt{7}}{10 * 4}

                cosθ = 0.6614

                θ = cos⁻¹0.6614

                θ = 48.59°

                θ = 49°

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a=43

Step-by-step explanation:

w+w+w= 45 which means 15+15+15=45

b+b+b=21 which means 7+7+7=21

s+s+s=12 which means 4+4+4=12

w+b×s= a which means 15+7×4= 43

(hope this helps)

"If you like rock-n-roll, then you like loud music." What is the converse of this statement?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

"If  you like loud music, then you like rock-n-roll"

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To form the converse of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and the conclusion

In this problem we have

"If you like rock-n-roll, then you like loud music."

The hypothesis is "you like rock-n-roll"

The conclusion is "you like loud music"

interchange the hypothesis and the conclusion

The converse is

"If  you like loud music, then you like rock-n-roll"

What is the fraction twelve twentieths in its simplest form
Alla [95]
You mean \frac{12}{20} or \frac{20}{12} ?

If you had meant, \frac{12}{20}, then the simplest form of this fraction would be - \frac{3}{5}

Divide both parts of the fraction by 4, and you get \frac{3}{5}the simplest form of the fraction.
Finding out the simplest form of a given fraction is nothing else than cancelation.

Flop it, you have with you - \frac{20}{12}
Flop the simplest form of the previous fraction, that's \frac{5}{3}

If you had meant \frac{20}{12}, then this will certainly be of any use to you.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE FRACTION IS IN ITS SIMPLEST FORM?
Maybe, you are just simplifying and simplifying...but you don't even know when to stop. You can understand whether a fraction is in its simplest form or not by seeing that the numerator and the denominator have a common factor to divide it by, or not.

For instance, consider the case here - \frac{3}{5} or \frac{5}{3}<span>. We can't divide it any further. So, we know that it is in its simplest form.
</span>
L O N G Process:
Well, if you want to divide it by the smallest common factor to its larger, then --
\frac{12}{20} or \frac{20}{12}

1) 
Divided by 2 = \frac{6}{10} or \frac{10}{6}

2) 
Next, also by 2 = \frac{3}{5} or \frac{5}{3}

That took much longer, right.
<span> So, it is more preferable to divide the fraction by the possible largest common factor, you can guess of.</span>
