How does multiplying a vector by a scalar value of -pi / 4 change the vector?

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The second option:

The vector will change  direction and decrease in magnitude.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Multiplying a vector by a scalar will modify the magnitude of the vector, depending if the scalar is less or greater than "1" also, when a scalar has a negative sign, the direction of the new vector will be the opposite that the original vector.

Solving

We are given that the scalar value is equal to:

-\frac{\pi }{4}=-0.79

Let's use as original vector, the following vector:

A=(2,2)

Calculating its magnitude, we have:

|A|=\sqrt{2^{2} +2^{2} }=2.83

Then, multiplying the vector by the given scalar, we have:

(-0.79A)=((-0.79)*2,-(0.79)*2)=(-1.58,-1.58)

As we can see, the vector changed its direction, since both components are negative.

Calculating the magnitude of the new vector, we have:

|A'|=\sqrt{(-1.58)^{2} +(-1.58)^{2} }=2.23

We can see that the given scalar is less than "1", so the magnitude will decrease, also, the direction is the opposite of the original vector direction since both components have changed its sign.

Hence, we have that the magnitude of the new vector is less than the magnitude of the original vector, also, we can see that the direction of the new vector is the opposite of the original vector direction, so, the answer is the second option, the vector will change direction and decrease in magnitude.

Have a nice day!

Thrice the difference between x and 4 is less than9 what's the inequality
3241004551 [841]
(x-4)•2 < 9
the difference between x and 4 means to subtract
and twice that means to double or times by 2
and all that’s LESS than 9
so the sign opens up towards the 9

I need the equation for this ASAP!
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

5.714 liters of the 5% solution and 4.286 of the 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the volume of 40% solution and y = volume of the 5% solution.

x + y = 10

0.40x + 0.05y = 0.20(x + y)

From the first equation x = 10 -y so we have:

0.40(10 - y) + 0.05y = 0.20( 10 - y + y)

4 - 0.40y + 0.05y = 2

-0.35y = -2

y = 5.714 liters of the 5%.

and x =  10 - 5.714 = 4.286  liters of the 40% solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate lim x=π/4(3x - tanx)​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

 \lim_{x \to\frac{\pi }{4} } (3x-tanx) =  3(\frac{\pi }{4}  )

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given that

         \lim_{x \to\frac{\pi }{4} } (3x-tanx)

  =  \lim_{x \to\frac{\pi }{4} } (3x) -  \lim_{x \to\frac{\pi }{4} }  tanx)

 = 3(\frac{\pi }{4} )+tan(\frac{\pi }{4} )

=  3(\frac{\pi }{4} )+ 1 )

=  3(\frac{\pi }{4}  )

How to solve subtracting rational coefficients
yuradex [85]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few steps to follow when you add or subtract rational expressions with unlike denominators.

To add or subtract rational expressions with unlike denominators, first find the LCM of the denominator. The LCM of the denominators of fraction or rational expressions is also called least common denominator , or LCD.

Write each expression using the LCD. Make sure each term has the LCD as its denominator.

Add or subtract the numerators.

Simplify as needed.
