Answer:

The direction of 5c + 4d is approximately 19.0° clockwise with

the positive part of x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the direction of a vector

- If the vector is (x , y), then  

# Its magnitude is √(x² + y²)

# Its direction is tan^-1 (y/x)

- The direction is the angle between the positive part of x-axis and  

  the vector

* Lets solve the problem

∵ c = (2.4 , 0.45) and d = (7 , -4)

- To find 5c + 4d , multiply the two coordinates of c by 5 and the two

  coordinates of d by 4

# Multiply c by 5

∴ 5c = [5(2.4) , 5(0.45)]

∴ 5c = (12 , 2.25)

# Multiply d by 4

∴ 4d = [4(7) , 4(-4)]

∴ 4d = (28 , -16)

- Lets add 5c and 4d

∴ 5c + 4d = (12 , 2.25) + (28 , -16)  

∴ 5c + 4d = [(12 + 28) , (2.25 + -16)]

∴ 5c + 4d = (40 , -13.75)

- The vector is in the 4th quadrant because the x-coordinate is

 positive and the y-coordinate is negative

* Find the direction of 5c + 4d

∵ The direction is tan^-1 (y/x)

∴ The direction is tan^-1 (-13.75/40) = -18.97°

* The direction of 5c + 4d is approximately 19.0° clockwise with

 the positive part of x-axis

A typical snake bite delivers 0.0045 grams of venom. Maria and Tammy were asked to write this number in scientific notation. The
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Maria

Step-by-step explanation:

A typical snake bite delivers 0.0045 grams of venom.

Maria wrote it in scientific notation as 4.5\times 10^{-3}

Tammy wrote it in scientific notation as 4.5\times 10^{3}

Any number can be written in the form of scientific notation as follows :

N=a\times 10^b (a is real no and b is integer)

The given no is 0.0045.

There are 2 zeroes before 4. Also the decimal is there before 2 zeroes.

0.0045=\dfrac{45}{10000}\\\\=\dfrac{45}{10}\times \dfrac{1}{1000}\\\\=4.5\times 10^{-3}

Hence, Maria is correct.

Determine the nth term rule and find the 45th term for the arithmetic sequence with a10=1 and d-6
kari74 [83]

Answer: -209

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for arithmetic progression

= a + (n - 1)d

Since a10 = 1 and d = -6

a10 = a + 9d

a + 9(-6) = 1

a - 54 = 1

a = 1 + 54

a = 55

Therefore, 45th term = a + (n - 1)d

= a + (45 - 1)d

= a + 44d

= 55 + 44(-6)

= 55 - 264

= -209
