\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for slope}\quad \cfrac{a}{b}\\\\
slope=\cfrac{a}{{{ b}}}\qquad negative\implies  -\cfrac{a}{{{ b}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ b}}}{a}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \boxed{5i+12j}\implies 
\begin{array}{rllll}
\ \textless \ 5&,&12\ \textgreater \ \\
x&&y
\end{array}\quad slope=\cfrac{y}{x}\implies \cfrac{12}{5}
\\\\\\
slope=\cfrac{12}{{{ 5}}}\qquad negative\implies  -\cfrac{12}{{{ 5}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ 5}}}{12}
\\\\\\
\ \textless \ 12, -5\ \textgreater \ \ or\ \ \textless \ -12,5\ \textgreater \ \implies \boxed{12i-5j\ or\ -12i+5j}

if we were to place <5, 12> in standard position, so it'd be originating from 0,0, then the rise is 12 and the run is 5.

so any other vector that has a negative reciprocal slope to it, will then be perpendicular or "orthogonal" to it.

so... for example a parallel to <-12, 5> is say hmmm < -144, 60>, if you simplify that fraction, you'd end up with <-12, 5>, since all we did was multiply both coordinates by 12.

or using a unit vector for those above, then

\bf \textit{unit vector}\qquad \cfrac{\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ }{||\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ ||}\implies \cfrac{\ \textless \ a,b\ \textgreater \ }{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\implies \cfrac{a}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}},\cfrac{b}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{12,-5}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}}\implies \cfrac{12,-5}{13}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{12}{13}\ ,\ \cfrac{-5}{13}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{-12,5}{\sqrt{12^2+5^2}}\implies \cfrac{-12,5}{13}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{-12}{13}\ ,\ \cfrac{5}{13}}

-(3/4)+1 7/8 divided by 1/2 =n
VashaNatasha [74]

first off, let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then proceed, let's notice that by PEMDAS or order of operations, the multiplication is done first, and then any sums.

\stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{7}{8}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 8+7}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{15}{8}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -\cfrac{3}{4}~~ + ~~\cfrac{15}{8} \div \cfrac{1}{2}\implies -\cfrac{3}{4}~~ + ~~\cfrac{15}{8} \cdot \cfrac{2}{1}\implies -\cfrac{3}{4}~~ + ~~\cfrac{15}{4} \\\\\\ \cfrac{-3+15}{4}\implies \cfrac{12}{4}\implies 3

3 1/3 - 1 2/3 = ? Help me plzz i beg you i lost my notes :(
tamaranim1 [39]
You turn them into improper fractions by multiplying the bottom number to the whole number then adding the product to the top of the fraction, therefore 
3 1/3 = 10/3, and 1 2/3 = 5/3

10 _ 5  =  5/3
 3     3

Given the following constants for a standard form quadratic equation, determine the nature of its roots.
Firdavs [7]

Given that

a=3

b=3

c=2

The number and kind of roots depend on the Discriminant of the equation .

Formula for the Discriminant ,D is given by this

D = b^{2} -4ac

So using the formula we get that

D = 3^{2} -4*3*2\\D=9-24\\D= -15

Concept is that if the Discriminant is negative then no real solution is possible ,

here using the Discriminant formula we have got the Discriminat value as -15 which is a negative number so we say there is no real solution for the given information .

Hence <u><em>C</em></u> is the correct option .
