Let u= <4,3>. Find the unit vector in the direction of u, and write your answer in component form.

1 answer:

3 0

Take the vector u = <ux, uy> = <4, 3>.

Find the magnitude of u:

||u|| = sqrt[ (ux)^2 + (uy)^2]

||u|| = sqrt[ 4^2 + 3^2 ]

||u|| = sqrt[ 16 + 9 ]

||u|| = sqrt[ 25 ]

||u|| = 5

To find the unit vector in the direction of u, and also with the same sign, just divide each coordinate of u by ||u||. So the vector you are looking for is

u/||u||

u * (1/||u||)

= <4, 3> * (1/5)

= <4/5, 3/5>

and there it is.

Writing it in component form:

= (4/5) * i + (3/5) * j

I hope this helps. =)

True or False: The null hypothesis should be rejected at a 10% level of significance when testing whether age has any effect on

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is rejected or accepted on the basis of level of significance. When the p-value is greater than level of significance we fail to reject the null hypothesis and null hypothesis is then accepted. It is not necessary that all null hypothesis will be rejected at 10% level of significance. To determine the criteria for accepting or rejecting a null hypothesis we should also consider p-value.

A bull’s-eye with a 4-inch diameter covers 20 percent of a circular target. What is the area, in square inches, of the target?

kipiarov [429]

Area of a circle is found using the formula: Area = π * r^2

Using 3.14 for π

Area of the bull'e eye = π * 2^2 = 4π = 4 * 3.14 = 12.56 square inches.

This is 20% of the entire target.

To find the area of the entire target, divide the area of the bull's eye by the percentage:

Area = 12.56 / 0.20 = 62.8 square inches.

Round the answer as needed.

Two planes A and B start from the same place and move in different directions making an angle of 50° between them the speed of p

Alika [10]

Answer:

The distance between them is 230.65 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we use the Cosine formula

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc\ cos\ A\\\\a^2 = 200^2 + 300^2 - 2\times 200\times 300cos50^{\circ}\\\\= 40,000 + 90,000 - 120,000cos50^{\circ}\\\\= 130,000 - 120,000 \times 0.64\\\\= 130,000 - 76,800\\\\a^2= 53,200\\\\a = \sqrt{53,200} \\\\= 230.65\ miles\ per\ hour$

Now the distance for one hour is

= 230.65 ÷ 1

= 230.65 miles

Find the Domain and Range of the following: (6.-1) (-2.2) (18,-1) (-2,3) Domain: Range: Is this relation a function?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Domain: {-2,6,18}

Range: {-1,2,3}

This relation is not a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is all of the x values given listed in order from least to greatest and not repeating any numbers. The range is the same thing, but with the y values given. This is not a function because multiple ordered pairs have more than one output for the input. Let's take -2 in these ordered pairs. It has two different outputs, 3 and 2. Because of this, it is not a function.

Hope this helps!!
