Answer:

1. Horizontal component = -3 units

  Vertical component = -4 units

2. Horizontal component = 3 units

  Vertical component = 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If a vector M, starting at point A = (a, b) and ending at point B = (c, d) is given, then the vector can be resolved into x and y components as follows;

M = AB

Where;

AB = B - A

AB = (a, b) - (c, d)

AB = (a-c, b-d)

AB = (a-c)i + (b-d)k

<em>Therefore, </em><em>a-c </em><em>and </em><em>b-d</em><em> are the x and y components of the vector M.</em>

<em />

(1) Let the vector be M:

Starting point of M = Q = (4, 6)

Ending point of M = P = (1, 2)

So,

M = PQ

Where;

PQ = Q - P

PQ = (1,2) - (4,6)

PQ = (1-4, 2-6)  

PQ = (-3, -4)

Therefore,

M = PQ = -3i - 4j

The x and y components of M are therefore, -3 and -4 respectively.

(2) Let the vector be M:

Starting point of M = P = (1, 2)

Ending point of M = Q = (4, 6)

So,

M = PQ

Where;

PQ = Q - P

PQ = (4,6) - (1,2)

PQ = (4-1, 6-2)  

PQ = (3, 4)

Therefore,

M = PQ = 3i + 4j

The x and y components of M are therefore, 3 and 4 respectively.

<em>Note: The x and y components are also called the horizontal and vertical components respectively.</em>

The scale on a drawing is 1 mm = 3 m. How many meters does 2 centimeters represent?
suter [353]
There are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. from that, we can calculate that one centimeter is equivalent to 30 meters. We are trying to find how many meters are in two centimeters so we multiply 30 meters by 2 and get the final answer of 60 meters.

2 Centimeters = 60 Meters

I hope this helped, Don't forget to rate me up it really helps.

Have a Great Day :)

50 POINTS<br><br> What is the volume of this?
Temka [501]
The volume is 30.

You need to subtract the volume of the smaller box from that of the bigger box. It is written as such:
V = (3*3*4) -(2*1*3)
V = 36 -6
V = 30

Solve the equation cos (x/2) = cos x + 1. what are the solutions on the interval 0° ≤ x &lt; 360°?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cos (x/2)=cos x+1

cos (x/2)=2cos ²(x/2)

2 cos²(x/2)-cos (x/2)=0

cos (x/2)[2 cos (x/2)-1]=0

cos (x/2)=0=cos π/2,cos (3π/2)=cos (2nπ+π/2),cos(2nπ+3π/2)

x/2=2nπ+π/2,2nπ+3π/2

x=4nπ+π,4nπ+3π

n=0,1,2,...

x=π,3π

or x=180°,540°,...

180°∈[0,360]

so x=180°

or

2cos(x/2)-1=0

cos (x/2)=1/2=cos60,cos (360-60)=cos 60,cos 300=cos (360n+60),cos (360n+300)

x/2=360n+60,360n+300

x=720n+120,720n+300

n=0,1,2,...

x=120,300,840,1020,...

only 120° and 300° ∈[0,360°]

Hence x=120°,180°,300°

Find the solution of the initial value problem<br><br> dy/dx=(-2x+y)^2-7 ,y(0)=0
Leokris [45]

Substitute v(x)=-2x+y(x), so that \dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx}=-2+\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}. Then the ODE is equivalent to

\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{\mathrm dx}+2=v^2-7

which is separable as

\dfrac{\mathrm dv}{v^2-9}=\mathrm dx

Split the left side into partial fractions,

\dfrac1{v^2-9}=\dfrac16\left(\dfrac1{v-3}-\dfrac1{v+3}\right)

so that integrating both sides is trivial and we get

\dfrac{\ln|v-3|-\ln|v+3|}6=x+C

\ln\left|\dfrac{v-3}{v+3}\right|=6x+C

\dfrac{v-3}{v+3}=Ce^{6x}

\dfrac{v+3-6}{v+3}=1-\dfrac6{v+3}=Ce^{6x}

\dfrac6{v+3}=1-Ce^{6x}

v=\dfrac6{1-Ce^{6x}}-3

-2x+y=\dfrac6{1-Ce^{6x}}-3

y=2x+\dfrac6{1-Ce^{6x}}-3

Given the initial condition y(0)=0, we find

0=\dfrac6{1-C}-3\implies C=-1

so that the ODE has the particular solution,

\boxed{y=2x+\dfrac6{1+e^{6x}}-3}
