Given that P = (2, 9) and Q = (4, 14), find the component form and magnitude of PQ.

1 answer:

4 0

The first thing you should know is that to find the vector, PQ we must subtract both points:
PQ = Q-P = (4, 14) - (2, 9) = (2, 5)
The module of this vector is given by
lPQl = root ((2) ^ 2 + (5) ^ 2)
lPQl = root (29)
answer
PQ = (2, 5)
lPQl = root (29)

Using the figures below, what is the perimeter of the 5th rectangle in the pattern?

maksim [4K]

Each side is increasing their length by 1 every time, and the length is always 1 greater than the height. That means the 5th rectangle will have a height of 5 and a length of 6, which would give it a perimiter of 22.

Suppose that 35 people are divided in a random manner into two teams in such a way that one team contains 10 people and the othe

Effectus [21]

Answer:

0.5798 or 57.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways to form the two teams is the combination of choosing 10 people out of 35 (₃₅C₁₀). The number of possibilities that A and B are both on the 10-people team is given by the combination of choosing 8 people (since two are fixed) out of 33 (₃₃C₈).The number of possibilities that A and B are both on the 25-people team is given by the combination of choosing 10 people out of 33 (₃₃C₈).

Therefore, the probability that two particular people A and B will be on the same team is:

$P = \frac{_{33}C_8+_{33}C_{10}}{_{35}C_{10}} \\\\P=\frac{\frac{33!}{(33-8)!8!}+\frac{33!}{(33-10)!10!} }{\frac{35!}{(35-10)!10!}} \\\\P=\frac{69}{119} = 0.5798$
