Just by trying some small numbers, you discover two that work: 3 and 5.

3 + 5 = 8

3² + 5² = 9 + 25 = 34 .

Find the angle θ between u = <7, –2> and v = <–1, 2>.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The angle between two vectors is:

CosФ = u - v / Magnitude(u) x magnitude(v)

Magnitude of u = SQRT(7^2 + -2^2) = SQRT(49 +4) = SQRT(53)

Magnitude of v = SQRT(-1^2 +2^2) = SQRT(1 +4) = SQRT(5)

u x v = (7 x -1) + (-2 x 2) = -7 + -4 = -11

cosФ = -11 / sqrt(53) x sqrt(5)

cosФ = -11sqrt265) / 265

Ф =cos^-1(-11sqrt265) / 265)

Ф=132.51 degrees.

Calculate the slope of the line passing through the two colored points below. (1,4) (-1,-1)

leonid [27]

Answer:

Slope = $\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the slope as the "change in y values" divided by the "change in x values".

By change in, we mean, 2nd point MINUS the first point values.

The points given is:

(1,4) & (-1,-1)

Change in y value:

-1 - 4 = -5

Change in x value:

-1 -1 = -2

Slope is -5/-2 = 5/2

There is no answer choice. The correct answer is 5/2
