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°

When dividing the polynomial using synthetic division, which of the following setup boxes would be used?
Galina-37 [17]

The setup boxes in the synthetic division are (b)

<h3>How to determine the setup boxes?</h3>

The dividend is given as:

x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6

The divisor is given as:

x - 2

Set the divisor to 0

x - 2 = 0

Solve for x

x = 2

Remove the variables in the dividend

1 + 4 + 1 - 6

Remove the arithmetic signs

1  4  1 - 6

So, the setup is:

2 | 1  4  1 - 6

Hence, the setup boxes are (b)
