Answer:

proj_uw=6.2i-4.2j

Step-by-step explanation:

The projection of a vector v onto a vector u is defined as the projection of the vector v on the line that contains the vector u. It can be calculated  using the following formula:

proj_uv=\frac{u\cdot v}{||u||^2} u

Where:

u\cdot v

Is the dot product between u and v which is given by:

u\cdot v= $$\sum_{i=1}^{n} u_iv_i= u_1v_1+u_2v_2+...+u_nv_n$$

and:

||u||

Is the magnitude of vector which can be calculated as follows:

||u||=\sqrt{u_1^2+u_2^2+...+u_n^2}

In this sense, the projection of vector w onto vector u is:

proj_uw=\frac{u\cdot w}{||u||^2} u

Where the dot product between u and w is:

u\cdot w =(9*19)+(-6*15)=171-90=81

And the magnitude of u is:

||u||=\sqrt{9^2+(-6)^2} = 3 \sqrt{13}

Thus:

proj_uw=\frac{u\cdot w}{||u||^2} u=\frac{81}{117} \langle9,-6\rangle=\langle6.23,-4.15\rangle\approx6.2i-4.2j

Adhy, Ben and Clayson shared a bag of chocolates. The ratio of Adhy's share to Ben's share is 3:4 while
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:   33

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The ratio of Adhy's to Ben's is 3:4 so let

Adhy = 3x

Ben = 4x

Since Ben = Adhy + 9

then   4x   =    3x    + 9

-->        x    =  9

So, Adhy = 3x  = 3(9)   = 27

     Ben   = 4x   = 4(9)   = 36

*************************************************************

The ratio of Ben's to Clayson's is 3:5

How do we get Ben's ratio of 3 equal to 36? <em>by multiplying by 12</em>

Ben  :  Clayson

<u>3 x 12</u>    <u>5 x 12</u>

 36          60

So, Clayson = 60

***********************************************************

The difference between Adhy and Clayson is:

Clayson - Adhy

   60     -    27    = 33

a restaurant sells a coffee refill mug for $6.75. Each refill costs $1.25. Last month keith spent $31.75 on a mug and refills wr
evablogger [386]
y= 1.25x+6.75
Make 31.75 y because that is the total cost he paid.
1.25x+6.75=31.75
1.25x=25
x=20
So he had 20 refills.

True. Polynomial means consisting of several terms. A<span>n expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variables. 
For example:
f(x) = x3 + 2x 1/2

Since there are two parts to this equation, it is polynomial.
I hope I helped.</span>
