<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!

13. Write an equation for the given function given the amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift.
aev [14]

Answer:

y=4sin(\frac{\pi}{2} x+\pi)-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a periodic  function is in the form:

y = Asin(Bx + C) + D

Where A = amplitude, B = 2π / period, D = vertical shift, phase shift = -C / B.

Given that:

amplitude: 4, period 4 phase shift = vertical shift = -2

Hence:

A = amplitude = 4, B = 2π / period = 2π / 4 = π / 2, D = vertical shift = -2.

Phase shift = -C / B

C = -phase shift * B = - * -2 * π / 2 = π.

Therefore substituting gives:

y=4sin(\frac{\pi}{2} x+\pi)-2

Which statement is true?
defon

Answer:

b. Multiplying decimals less than one is finding a part of a part.

Step-by-step explanation:

A part of a given number implies a selected part of a given number which can be expressed as a fraction of the number. Example, the half of any number is \frac{1}{2}.

The product of a part and another part can be expressed as;

\frac{1}{3} x \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{9}

or,

\frac{1}{2} x \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}

or,

\frac{1}{2} x \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

The three examples shows: a part x a part.

Therefore, it would be observed that multiplying decimals less than one is the same as finding a part of a part.

I need blank 1 and blank 2
lord [1]

Answer:

Blank 1: 40

Blank 2: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by representing the speed of the water as x and the speed of the dolphin as y, and writing an equation.

y+x=50

y-x=30

Adding these two equations together, you get:

2y=80

y=40 for the speed of the dolphin in still water. Now, you an use one of the previous equations to find the speed of the current.

40-x=30

x=10

Hope this helps!
