Answer:

Not perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, when we have two vectors, (x1, x2, x3...xn) and (y1, y2, y3...yn) the inner product is given by x1*y1+(x2*y2)+(x3*y3).....(xnyn)

If the above sum is zero then the two vectors are perpendicular else they are not.

Given (3, 1, 4) and (2, 8, -2)

The inner product will be

(3*2)+(1*8)+(4*-2)=6+8-8=6

The inner product is 6 hence not perpendicular.

Find the sum and product of the roots. 3x^ 2 - 4x - 7 = 0

victus00 [196]

Given the quadratic function, to get the roots we factorize:
3x²-4x-7=0

3x²+3x-7x-7=0
3x(x+1)-7(x+1)=0
(3x-7)(x+1)=0
thus the roots are
x=-1 or x=3/7
thus the sum of the roots will be:
-1+3/7
=-4/7

The height, h, in meters above the ground, of a projectile at any time, t, in seconds, after the launch is defined by the functi

Ivanshal [37]

The equation $h(t) =-6t^2 + 15t + 2$ sets the parabola. You can find the parabola vertex as:

$t_v= \frac{-b}{2a} =- \frac{15}{2\cdot (-6)} = \frac{15}{12}= \frac{5}{4}=1.25$

then

$h( \frac{5}{4} )=-6\cdot (\frac{5}{4} )^2+15\cdot \frac{5}{4} +2= \frac{91}{8} =11.375$

This means that the maximum height is 11.375 m and a projectilereaches this height at 1.25 seconds.

The projectile initially launched at time t=0, so the initial height is h(0)=2 m

Answer:

That is Arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic Sequence is described as a list of numbers, in which each new term differs from a preceding term by a constant quantity. Which is -5 in this case.
