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

5. Please write the equation of a line in y=mx+b format. Find the SLOPE first then find the Y-INTERCEPT (b) Your answer​
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

y = \frac{5}{3}x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line is,

y = mx + b

Here m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Slope of a line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

From the graph attached,

Since, the given line passes through (0, -1) and (3, 4),

Slope 'm' = \frac{4+1}{3-0}

m = \frac{5}{3}

y - intercept 'b' = -1

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = \frac{5}{3}x-1

PLS HELP MEEE PICTURE BELOW
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

h = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is just substituting in for variables and solving for x. The hard part is knowing the formula.

R = h((a+b)/2) where a and b are the 2 different bases, h is the height or latitude, and R is the area of a trapezoid, is the formula.

Given that R = 8.1, a = 1 and b = 3.5, we can substitute these equations in the formula.

(8.1) = h(((1) + (3.5)) / 2)

= h((4.5) / 2)

= h(2.25)

8.1/2.25 = h

3.6 = h

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

547 & 544

Step-by-step explanation:

when you round 552 to the nearest 10 its 550 and 544 would be 540.

when rounded to the nearest hundred 552 would be 600 & 544 would be 500.

is M a midpoint of line AB? AB=44, MB=22 a)maybe b)can't determine c)yes d)no (please explain how you got your answer)
Elza [17]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, M is the midpoint of AB.

The length of the whole line AB is 44. So, if any midpoint is drawn on it, The two parts of the line will be equal and half of the total lines measure.

Whole line's measure = AB = 44

If any Midpoint say "M" is drawn on it, the measures of divided line would be halved.

AM = BM = 44/2 = 22
