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. =)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (−3,−1) and is perpendicular to the line x-2y=6?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

y = 2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

rearrange the equation to make y the sof

y = 1/2x - 3

to find gradient of perpendicular line

1/2 ÷ ( - 1 )

y = -2x + c , the replace the coordinates (-3,-1)

y = 2x + 5

Two payment options to rent a car: You can pay $20 a day plus 25¢ a mile (Option A) or pay $10 a day plus 50¢ a mile (Option B).
BaLLatris [955]

You must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Two payment options to rent a car

Let "x" be the number of miles driven in one day

<em><u>You can pay $20 a day plus 25¢ a mile (Option A)</u></em>

25 cents is equal to 0.25 dollars

OPTION A :  20 + 0.25x

<em><u>You pay $10 a day plus 50¢ a mile (Option B)</u></em>

50 cents equal to 0.50 dollars

Option B: 10 + 0.50x

<em><u>For what amount of daily miles will option A be the cheaper plan ?</u></em>

For option A to be cheaper, Option A must be less than option B

Option A < Option B

20 + 0.25x < 10 + 0.50x

Solve the inequality

Add -0.50x on both sides

20 +0.25x -0.50x < 10 + 0.50x - 0.50x\\\\20 - 0.25x < 10

Add - 20 on both sides,

20 - 0.25x - 20 < 10 - 20\\\\-0.25x < -10

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:-1\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}

0.25x > 10

Divide both sides by 0.25

x > 40

Thus you must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan
