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

Arithmetic of Functions problem<br> Open ended
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: <em>(gºh)(25)=2</em>


Step-by-step explanation:

1. This exercise is about Composition of functions, then you have:

2. Then, you have that

<em>(gºh)(25)</em>=g(h(x))=\sqrt{x}-3

3. Now, you must substitute 25 into the function, as you can see below:

<em>(gºh)(25)</em>=\sqrt{25}-3

4. Simplify the fucntion.

5. Therfore, you obtain:

<em>(gºh)(25)</em>=5-3=2

You are doing a research project for class and will be analyzing data to create a presentation for your peers.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

You have to write this based on yourself. Just answer each question one by one and then you can compare a whole paragraph.

So for each question you have to choose what you believe you are.

Which social class do you belong to; lower, middle, or upper class?

Why? This could be because you're well off or because you don't have that much money, it depends on which class you believe you are.

Who are your peers? Peers refers to people within the same age bracket as you.

In your everyday choices, whom do you tend to take as a reference point? This is basically asking who influences you, for example your mother or your brother, who do you use as your guidance for how you act. The remaining questions are just asking to specify who, your peers or family members, it's just an addition to the main question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps:)

How many eighth-size parts do you need to model 3/4? explain
Ostrovityanka [42]
<span>The way I understand this question is: "how many of one eights (1/8) can fit into 3/4 - so mathematically we would write: 3/4 divided by 1/8. Dividing by a fraction is multiplying by its inverse, so we have 3/4 multiplied by 8, which is 3*8/4, we simplify by dividing 8 and 4 by 4: 6/1, that is 6 - the answer is 6!Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span><span />

First, plot the coordinates so you can easily see the parallelograms. The points in blue is the original parallelogram, while the points in orange form the parallelogram after the transformation.

As you can observe, the two properties form a mirror image (reflection) vertically (or across the y-axis). However, it is moved downwards by 10 units. To guide you, count the units of distance between the two topmost points of each of the two parallelograms. The answer is letter A.
