Consider the picture attached.

From right triangle trigonometry: 

tan(α)=(opposite side)/(adjacent side)=15/67=0.2239

using a scientific calculator we find that arctan(0.2239)=12.62°

thus α=12.62°, is the angle that the vector makes with the positive x-axis.

The angle made with the + y-axis is 12.62°+90°=102.62°.



The length of the vector v can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem:

|v|= \sqrt{ 67^{2} + 15^{2} }= \sqrt{4489+225}= \sqrt{4714}=68.8


Thus, to make v a unit vector, without changing its direction, we need to divide v by |v|=68.8. 

This means that the x and y components will also be divided by 68.8, by proportionality.

So, the unit vector in the direction of v is:

<span>(67/68.8)i + (-15/68.8)j=0.97 i + (- 0.22)j
</span>

Answer: 12.62°;  102.62°;  0.97 i + (- 0.22)j

A friends is buying flowers for mother's day. Because it is her 38th birthday, your friend want to have 38 of her favorite flowe
777dan777 [17]

Answer: She bought 28 daises and 10 Tulips.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of daises bought.

Let y represent the number of tulips bought.

Your friend want to have 38 of her favorite flowers. This means that

x + y = 38

Her favorite flowers are daisies at 1.50 each and tulips at 2.50 each if the total bill was 67, it means that

1.5x + 2.5y = 67 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 38 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.5(38 - y) + 2.5y = 67

57 - 1.5y + 2.5y = 67

- 1.5y + 2.5y = 67 - 57

y = 10

x = 38 - y = 38 - 10

x = 28

Math question NO Guessing Please Help
andrezito [222]

The angle of interest is the one at the end of the shadow looking up toward the flagpole. Thus the length adjacent to the angle is that of the shadow, 22 ft. The length opposite the angle is the height of the flagpole, 45 ft. The tangent of the angle is the ratio of the opposite length to the adjacent one.

... tan(angle) = (45 ft)/(22 ft)

... angle = arctan(45/22) ≈ 63.9° . . . . . matches selection A.
