Find the magnitude and direction of the vector JK given points J(1,0) & K(-2,3)

Mathematics

Draw points J and K in the coordinate axis, and join them so that the top of the vector is point K.

the magnitude of the vector is just the length of the segment JK, so we can either write it as |JK| or |KJ|, it does not make any change.

Let O be the point in the x axis such that KO is perpendicular to OJ, as shown in the picture.

From the Pythagorean theorem: 

|KJ|= \sqrt{ |OK|^{2} + |OJ|^{2} } = \sqrt{3^{2} + 3^{2} } = \sqrt{2*3^{2}}=3 \sqrt{2} units

since |OK|=|OJ|, the right triangle KOJ is isosceles, so the measure of KJO is 45°, which means that the angle of vector JK to the positive x axis is 180°-45°=135°


Answer: magnitude=  3 \sqrt{2} units, direction : 135°

The frog population at a lake doubles every week. The population can be modeled by
marta [7]
The answer is C. The rate the population increases. The 960 in the equation represents the population at a certain number of weeks which is x. The starting population describes the quantity 15. The number of weeks that have passed is described as the 6 weeks. 

The equation would be described as: f(x) =15*(2^x) and f(x) =960
