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

1/2 and 10/20

to get 1/2 you have to divide 5/10 by 5:

  5   /   5          1     
-----          =   ----- 
 10  /   5          2

to get 10/20 you have to multiply 5/10 by 2:

  5   *   2          10
-----           =    ----
 10  *   2          20

Hope it helps! =)

Which of the following is the line of symmetry for the figure shown below?
scoray [572]

Answer:

Line A

Step-by-step explanation:

A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into exactly two equal halves.

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. A scalene triangle has no lines of symmetry, an isosceles triangle has more than one line of symmetry while an equilateral triangle has three lines of symmetry.

From the diagram we can see that line A divides the figure into two equal halves, hence line A is the line of symmetry.

Decide which of the described variables likely have a normal or near-normal distribution. A) The amount of change held by a teac
Nataly [62]

Answer:

A) The amount of change held by a teacher at the end of each day for a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

A normal distribution has a bell-shaped density curve described by its mean and standard deviation.

A) The amount of change held by a teacher at the end of each day for a year - This is probably near normal because the teacher cannot have negative cents in her or his pocket.

Jorge has saved $15.50. Janet saved 1/5 of the amount that Jorge saved. Rob saved 12 times as much of Janet. What is the total s
KiRa [710]

Answer:

$55.80

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much Janet saved by finding 1/5 of 15.50:

15.50/5

= 3.1

Find how much Rob saved by multiplying 3.1 by 12:

3.1(12)

= 37.2

Then, find the total saved amount by adding them all together:

15.50 + 3.1 + 37.2

= 55.8

So, they saved $55.80 in total
