How would you know if two vectors are perpendicular?

Mathematics

Temka [501]3 years ago

Answer:

If their dot product is equal to 0, the two vectors are perpendicular.

Bezzdna [24]3 years ago

<span>get their dot product, if the dot product is 0, then they're orthogonal (perpendicular).

also keep in mind that, if two vectors bear the same slope, namely <a,b> and <c,d>  and the simplified slope b/a  is the same value as d/c, then they're parallel vectors.</span>

Frank has a compass but no straightedge. Which of the following can Frank construct with just the compass?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

(D) A circle

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that Frank does not have a straightedge. All the options except for a circle have straight lines in them, which means that you need a straightedge to draw them. However, a circle does not require a straightedge since it has no straight lines. This shows that the only possible answer would be D (a circle).

Do you agree with the statement that " cubic functions must have at least 1 x-intercept but not more than 3, whereas quadratic f
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Yes, I agree

Step-by-step explanation:

For the cubic function

A cubic function is represented as:

f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d

A cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3 x intercepts. This is shown below

For 3 x intercepts

y = x^3 - x

Equate y to 0

x^3 - x = 0

Expand

x(x^2 - 1) = 0

Express x^2 - 1 as difference of two squares

x(x - 1)(x +1 ) = 0

<em>x = 0 or 1 or -1</em>

For 2 x intercepts

y = x^3 - x

y  =(x-5)^2)(x+7)

Equate y to 0

(x-5)^2(x+7) = 0

Expand

(x-5)(x-5)(x+7) = 0

<em>x= 5 or x = -7</em>

For 1 x intercept

y = x^3

Equate y to 0

x^3 = 0

Take cube roots of both sides

x = 0

It has been shown above that a cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3.

So, I agree to the statement

For the quadratic function

A quadratic function will not have any x intercept when the function can not be factorized;

E.g.

y = x^2 + x + 17

<em>The above function has no x intercept.</em>

A quadratic function will have at least 1 x intercept when the function can be factorized;

E.g.

y = x^2- 6x + 9

Equate y to 0

x^2- 6x + 9 = 0

Expand

x^2 - 3x - 3x + 9 = 0

(x - 3)(x-3) = 0

x = 3

We've shown that a quadratic may have no x intercept, and it may also have x intercept(s)

Hence, I agree to both statement

What is the constant of proportionality in the equation?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is option D i.e 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Variation:

Variation problems involve fairly simple relationships or formulas, involving one variable being equal to one term. There are two types of variation i.e.

  1. Direct variation
  2. Inverse variation

Direct Variation:

Mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other.

Example y=kx

where, k  is constant of proportionality.

The above given example is of Direct Variation

∴ y = 5 x

∴ k = 5 = constant of proportionality.

Inverse Variation:

Mathematical relationship between two variables which can be expressed by an equation in which the product of two variables is equal to a constant.

Example yx=k

where, k  is constant of proportionality.
