Let's named variables as M,J and R

The equation is M+J+R=74

We will represent M with J => M=J+6 and R=2J

when we replace in the equation we get

J+6+J+2J=74 => 4J=74-6 => 4J=68 => J=68/4 = 17

J=17  => M=6+17 => M=23  and R=2* 17 => R=34

Final answer is 
Juan served 17 orders
Melissa served 23 orders and 
Rafael served 34 orders

Good luck!!!!

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

3. What are two ways that a vector can be represented?

Considering a vector \vec{v} in some vector space \mathbb R^n we have

\vec{v} = \langle a,b\rangle

This is the component form. I don't like that way. It is probably used in high school, but

\vec{v} =  \begin{pmatrix} a\\ b\\ \end{pmatrix}

is preferable because the inner product on \mathbb R^n is defined to be

$\langle a,b\rangle := \sum_{i = 1}^n a_i b_i$

You can also write it using linear form such as \vec{v} = 2i+2j

4.

For this question, I think you meant

vectors

\vec{u_1} = (-8, 12)

\vec{u_2}  = (13, 15)

Once

\cos(\theta)=\dfrac{\vec{u_1} \cdot\vec{u_2}}{||\vec{u_1}||||\vec{u_2}||}

Considering that the dot product is

\vec{u_1}\cdot \vec{u_2} = (-8)\cdot 13 + 12\cdot 15 = -104+180= 76

and the norm of \vec{u_1} is ||\vec{u_1}|| = \sqrt{(-8)^2 + 12^2} = \sqrt{64 + 144}= \sqrt{208}

and the norm of \vec{u_2} is ||\vec{u_2}|| = \sqrt{13^2 + 15^2} = \sqrt{169 + 225}= \sqrt{394}

Thus,

\cos(\theta)=\dfrac{76}{\sqrt{208} \sqrt{394}} = \dfrac{19}{\sqrt{13}\sqrt{394}}=\dfrac{19}{\sqrt{5122}}

\therefore \theta = \arccos \left(\dfrac{19}{\sqrt{5122}} \right)

I just need some quick help with this. Distributive properties aren't my best section.
Anni [7]
In this case u can’t use the distributive property. U just multiple whats in the parenthesis (39•5)=195 and that’s ur answer.
Let’s say if the problem said 5(2+1) u can’t use the distributive property bc u have to do what’s in the parentheses first. 5(3)=15
But If u had a problem like 2(4x+6) then u can use the distributive property. This is bc u can’t add 4x+6 bc they aren’t like terms. So u multiple the 2 by 4x which is 8x and the 2 by 6 which is 12 then ur answer would be : 8x+12

A bridge constructed over a bayou has a supporting arch in the shape of an inverted parabola. Find the equation of the parabolic
babymother [125]

Answer: f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lenght of the road over the arch is 100m, we can consider a coordinate plane and say that the road starts at point (0,0) and finishes at (100,0). The vertice of the parabola is at point (50,40), because the maximum height is 40 and it is always in the middle point of the roots.

So, we have

(0,0) (50,40) (100,0)

A quadratic function is always on the form: f(x) = ax² + bx + c

0 = a0² + b0 + c

40 = a50² + b50 + c

0 = a100² + b100 + c

0 = a0² + b0 + c → c = 0 ∴

40 = a50² + b50

0 = a100² + b100

_________________________

2500a + 50b = 40 (*2)

10000a + 100b = 0

_________________________

5000a + 100b = 80

10000a + 100b = 0 (-)

__________________________

-5000a = 80

-a=80/5000

a=-0.016

∴

2500a + 50b = 40

2500.(-0.016) + 50b = 40

-40 + 50b = 40

50b = 80

b = 80/50

b = 1.6

This way f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x
