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°

A farmer wants to seed and fence a section of land. Fencing costs $27 per yard. Grass seed costs $2 per square foot. How much do
Lilit [14]

From.the calculated area and perimeter of the field, it will cost the farmer $475740 to fence and seed the pasture.

<h3>What is the area of the field?</h3>

The area of the field is calculated as follows:

Area of square = 450 ft × 450 ft = 202500 square feet

Area of triangle = (450 ft × 120 ft)/2 = 27000 square feet

Area of field = 229500 square feet

Cost of seeding the field = 229500 × $2 = $459000

Perimeter of the field = 450 + 450 + 450 + 255 + 255 = 1860 ft

1 ft = 1/3 yard

1860 ft = 1860 × 1/3 yards = 620 yards

Cost of fencing = 620 × $27 = $16740

Total cost of seeding and fencing = $475200

Therefore, it will cost the farmer $475740 to fence and seed the pasture.

Using f(x) = 8x + 5 and g(x) = 7x - 2, find:g(f(6))
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

369

Step-by-step explanation:

g(f(x)) simply means to put the whole expression of function f(x) into the place of "x" in g(x).

and to find the functional value for a specific x we just need to calculate functional value for f(x) and use that result as input for g(x).

f(6) = 8×6 + 5 = 48 + 5 = 53

and now

g(53) = 7×53 - 2 = 371 - 2 = 369

to check we do the general functional substitution :

g(f(x)) = 7×(8x+5) - 2 = 56x + 35 - 2 = 56x + 33

g(f(6)) = 56×6 + 33 = 336 + 33 = 369

correct

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

choice C: x2 -3x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x^2-7x+2)-(2x^2-4x+5)

becomes

3x^2-7x+2 -2x^2+4x-5

adding

3x^2-2x^2 -7x+4x +2-5

which is

x^2 -3x -3
