The cross product of the vectors will be orthogonal to both:
axb
[tex]=<1,3,1>x<1,12,1>
=
i j k
1 3 1
1 12 1
=<3-12, -1+1, 12-3>
=<-9,0,9>
Since it is required to have positive first coordinate, we reverse the sign of the components, namely reverse the direction of the vector, which is still orthogonal to both a and b:
Required vector is <9,0,-9> which is orthogonal to both a and b.

How is it that a square is a rectangle but a rectangle ins't a square?
Helen [10]
Beacuse  <span>A square by definition is a "plane figure having four equal sides." Rectangles' sides are not equal and hence cannot be a square. 

A rectangle by definition is a "four-sided plane figure with 4 right angles" - which also implies that a square can be a rectangle because it is also a four-sided plane figure with 4 right angles...... hope this helps</span>

Plan 1:<br> Plan 2:<br> Please help!!!!!!
djyliett [7]

Answer:

plan 1: y=3x+50

plan 2: y=10x

Step-by-step explanation:

for plan 1, since she would have to pay $3 per visit and x is the visits per month, than you would calculate the total cost per visits by 3x. and since there is a starting fee of $50, the total goes up from 50 and never below, therefore 50 is the y-intercept

plan 2, its the same thing as plan 1 but instead of $3 per visit it is $10 and there is no starting fee, so no y-intercept
