Find the equation of the line through (2, 3, 0) perpendicular to the vectors a = (1, 2, 3) and b = (3, 4, 5).

1 answer:

5 0

The cross product a×b is a vector perpendicular to both. That cross product is
(1, 2, 3)×(3, 4, 5) = (-2, 4, -2)

This can have common factors removed and be sign-adjusted to (1, -2, 1), so the equation of the line can be written in parametric form as ...
(x, y, z) = (2, 3, 0) + t·(1, -2, 1)

When working with vectors and matrices, a suitable calculator can be very helpful. There are several phone and tablet apps and web sites that can do these calculations for you.

Amy's grandmother gave her 3 identical chocolate chip cookies and 4 identical sugar cookies. In how many different orders can Am

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

chocolate chip cookie first: 15 ways

chocolate chip cookie last: 15 ways

chocolate chip cookie first and last: 5 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 7 cookies.

Is she eats a chocolate cookie first, she will have 2 chocolate cookies and 4 sugar cookies (6 in total).

So, to find the number of different orders that Amy can eat the remaining cookies, we just need to calculate a combination of 6 choose 2 (that is, the number of ways we can put the 2 chocolate cookies among the 6 cookies) or a combination of 6 choose 4 (same thing, but for the sugar cookies):

C(6,2) = 6! / (2! * 4!) = 6 * 5 / 2 = 15 ways

Is she eats a chocolate cookie last, she will have 2 chocolate cookies and 4 sugar cookies (6 in total), so the problem is solved again with a combination of 6 choose 2:

C(6,2) = 15 ways

Is she eats a chocolate cookie first and last, she will have just 1 chocolate cookie left and 4 sugar cookies (5 in total), so the problem is solved with a combination of 5 choose 1 or a combination of 5 choose 4:

C(5,1) = 5! / (1! * 4!) = 5 ways

What is the sequence technique of this number sequence17,9,?,16.5,35,90

vovikov84 [41]

The sequence is as follows:

(17 + 1)(1/2) = 9
(9 + 1)(2/2) = 10
(10 + 1)(3/2) = 16.5
(16.5 + 1)(4/2) = 35
(35 + 1)(5/2) = 90

Therefore, the missing value in the sequence is 10.
