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

Answer:

<h3>              1)   7x - 5 </h3><h3>              2)   9y - 18 </h3><h3>              3)   0.5n + 4n </h3><h3>              4)  2(w³+23)</h3><h3> Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

1)

The product of seven and a number x:   7·x = 7x

<u>Five less than the product of seven and a number x:</u>

<h3>7x - 5 </h3>

2)

nine times a number y:  9·y = 9y

<u>The difference of nine times a number y and eighteen:</u>

<h3>9y - 18 </h3>

3)

half a number n:   0.5n

four times the number:   4·n = 4n

<u>Half a number n increased by four times the number:</u>

<h3>0.5n + 4n </h3>

4)

a number w cubed:  w³

the sum of a number w cubed and twenty-three:  w³+23

<u>Twice the sum of a number w cubed and twenty-three:</u>

<h3>2(w³+23)</h3>
