A vector w orthogonal to u and v can be obtained by the cross product of u and v, namely u x v.  Subsequently, u x  v may be reduced to a unit vector.

u<-8,-6,4>
v<10,-18,-2>

w=u x v 
=
  i      j   k
 -8   -6  4
10 -18 -2
=<12+72, 40-16, 144+60>
=<84, 24, 204>
=12 < 7,2,17>

Check that w is orthogonal to u and v
w.u = 12<7,2,17><-8,-6,4> = 12(-56-12,68)=0
w.v = 12<7,2,17><10,-18,-2> = 12(70-36-34)=0
Therefore w is orthogonal to both u and v.

Unit vector of w
\frac{}{\sqrt{7^2+2^2+17^2}}=\frac{1}{3\sqrt{38}}

A player shoots a basketball from a height of 6 feet. The equation, h = -16t^2 + 25t + 6, gives the height, h , of the basketbal
noname [10]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.5 \ feet}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given this function for the height (h) after t seconds:

h=-16t^2+25t+6

Seconds is t and we want to find the height after 1.5 seconds. Plug 1.5 in for t.

h= -16(1.5)^2+25(1.5)+6

Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

Solve the exponent first.

  • (1.5)²= 1.5*1.5=2.25

h= -16(2.25)+25(1.5)+6

Multiply.

h= -36+25(1.5)+6

h= -36+37.5+6

Add.

h=1.5+6=7.5

This is already rounded to the nearest tenth, so it is the answer.

After 1.5 seconds, the basketball is at a height of 7.5 feet.
