Answer:

a and b are perpendicular to each other, as are b and d, b and g

Step-by-step explanation:

To check whether two vectors are perpendicular to each other, we need the angle between these vectors to be 90 degrees.

We can find the angle between to vectors a and b from the following relation:

The cosine of the angle \theta between two vectors is equal to the dot product of this vectors divided by the product of vector magnitude.

So

cos(\theta) = \frac{a.b}{|a||b|}

cos(90) = 0, so when the dot product between vectors a and b is 0, it means that these vectors are perpendicular to each other.

Now, for your exercise, let's compute the dot product between these vectors.

-----------

a.b = (3,1,-1).(1,1,4) = 3+1-4 = 0

So a and b are perpendicular to each other.

------------

a.c = (3,1,-1).(1,3,1) = 3+3-1 = 5

a and c are not perpendicular to each other.

--------------

a.d = (3,1,-1).(-1,-3,1) = -3-3-1 = -7

So not perpendicular

---------------

a.g = (3,1,-1).(-3,-1,1) = -9-1-1 = -11

Not

-----------------

b.c = (1,1,4).(1,3,1) = 1+3+4 = 8

Not

------------------

b.d = (1,1,4).(-1,-3,1) = -1 -3 +4 = 0

b.d = 0, so b and d are perpendicular to each other

--------------------

b.g = (1,1,4).(-3,-1,1) = -3-1+4 = 0

b.g = 0, perpendicular

---------------------

c.d = (1,3,1).(-1,-3,1) = -1-9+1 = -9

No

-----------------------

c.g = (1,3,1).(-3,-1,1) = -3-3+1 = -5

No

------------------------

d.g = (-1,-3,1).(-3,-1,1) = 3+3+1 = 7

No

For ΔABC, ∠A = 2x - 2, ∠B = 2x + 2, and ∠C = 5x. If ΔABC undergoes a dilation by a scale factor of 1 2 to create ΔA'B'C' with ∠A
Zolol [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A) ∠A = ∠A' = 38° and ∠B = ∠B' = 42°

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The sum of angles in ∆ABC is 180°, so ...

... (2x -2) + (2x +2) + (5x) = 180

... 9x = 180

... x = 20

and the angles of ∆ABC are ∠A = 38°, ∠B = 42°, ∠C = 100°.

___

The sum of angles of ∆A'B'C' is 180°, so ...

... (58 -x) +(3x -18) +(120 -x) = 180

... x +160 = 180

... x = 20

and ∠A' = 38°, ∠B' = 42°, ∠C' = 100°.

_____

The values of angle measures of ∆ABC match those of ∆A'B'C', so we can conclude ...

... A) ∠A = ∠A' = 38° and ∠B = ∠B' = 42°

14. Use the given degree of confidence and Sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population mean. Assume that t
nirvana33 [79]

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval = mean ± margin of error

CI = μ ± ME

The mean is μ = 8.7.

Margin of error = critical value × standard error

ME = CV × SE

At 95% confidence and 9 degrees of freedom, CV = 2.262.

SE = s / √n

SE = 3.3 / √10

SE = 1.04

The margin of error is:

ME = 2.262 × 1.04

ME = 2.36

CI = 8.7 ± 2.36

CI = (6.34, 11.06)
