Answer:

Clara makes error after opening the bracket she did not changes the sign of  r .

Correct simplification of  (8b-4r)-(2b-r) is 6b- 3r .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given the expression in the question be

= (8b-4r)-(2b-r)

Open the bracket

= 8b - 4r - 2b + r

Solving the above

= 6b - 3r

Clara makes error after opening the bracket she did not changes the sign of  r .

Therefore the correct simplification of  (8b-4r)-(2b-r) is 6b- 3r .

Mr. Saba owns two food trucks. He rents two spots at the state fair. This table shows the number of tacos the two food trucks so
Nadya [2.5K]
Using the data for each truck lets calculate, 

median for truck 1 - 511.5
median for truck 2 - 650.5

lets consider each statement 
A.medians for both trucks are the same - wrong 
median for 1 and 2 are 511.5 and 650.5 respectively 

B. the two trucks sold most number of tacos on 3rd day 
truck 1 sold 437 on day 3 but highest number it sold was 721 on day 1
truck 2 sold 426 on day 3 but highest number was 732 on day 6
therefore this statement too is wrong 

C.
truck 1 - range between maximum(721) and minimum(425) = 296
truck 2 - maximum (732) and minimum (426) difference = 306
the range between maximum and minimum in truck 2 is 306 thats greater than range between maximum and minimum in truck 1, that's 296
therefore this statement is correct

D.
total number of tacos for each truck - 
truck 1 - 5291
truck 2 - 6107
food truck 1 sold less than truck 2 therefore this statement too is wrong

Find a unit vector in the direction of the vector left bracket Start 3 By 1 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column negative 8 2nd Row 1st Col
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{8}{\sqrt{117} } \\\frac{7}{\sqrt{117} }\\\frac{2}{\sqrt{117} }\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to find a unit vector in the direction of:

\left[\begin{array}{c}-8\\7\\2\end{array}\right]

Unit Vector, \hat{a}=\dfrac{\overrightarrow{a}}{|\overrightarrow{a}|}

The Modulus of \overrightarrow{a} =\sqrt{(-8)^2+7^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{117}

Therefore, the unit vector of the matrix is given as:

\left[\begin{array}{c}-\frac{8}{\sqrt{117} } \\\frac{7}{\sqrt{117} }\\\frac{2}{\sqrt{117} }\end{array}\right]
