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

The graph shows the attendance at a hockey game, and the rate at which the fans enter and exit the
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, we can see that both segment 1 and segment 2 are positive slopes (as the time increases, the number of people increases)

Segment 1 is more steep than segment 2 (the number of people increases in segment 1 more than segment 2). This means that the number of people entering the arena in segment 1 was higher than the rate of people entering the arena in segment 2.

1.) You (or your parents) purchase a new car for $19,725.00 plus 4.75% sales tax. The down payment is $2,175.00 and you (or your
Helga [31]

Answer:

$936.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, that because you paid $2,175 up front (down payment), you can borrow $2,175 less from the bank to purchase the car. So first step: Take new car price of $19,725.00 and multiply it by the sales tax percentage ($19,725 * 0.0475) to get $936.94 of tax.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

x = -3/2

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2 + 8x + 3

4x^2 + 2x + 6x + 3

2x(2x+1) + 3(2x+1)

(2x + 3) (2x + 1)

x = -3/2

x = -1/2
