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 school paid $31.25 for each calculator. If the school bought x calculators, how much did they pay?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

31.25×

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose that the value of x was 3 . that would mean that they bought 3 calculators .

if one calculator is $31.25 then 3 would be $31.25× 3

the same rule would apply for x
