For what values of a are v = a i − j + k and w = a i + a j − 3 k perpendicular? give exact values.

1 answer:

3 0

The vectors are perpendicular when their dot product is zero. That is
.. a^2 -a -3 = 0
.. (a -1/2)^2 -13/4 = 0
.. a = (1 ±√13)/2

According to the general equation for conditional probability, if (image attached)

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: Option A

$P(A|B) = \frac{40}{49}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In a probabilistic experiment, when two events A and B are dependent on each other, then the probability of occurrence A since B occurs is:

$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A\ and\ B)}{P(B)}$

Then if $P(A\ and\ B) = \frac{5}{7}$ and $P(B) = \frac{7}{8}$ then:

$P(A|B) = \frac{\frac{5}{7}}{\frac{7}{8}}\\\\P(A|B) = \frac{40}{49}$
