Let x<span> be the vector we seek. We recall the relationship of a vector to its length and direction:
</span><span>dir x=<span>x/<span>|x|</span></span></span>Because we art trying to find x from information on its length and direction, we rewrite this formula as,<span>x=|x| dir x.</span>We are given that <span>|x|=13</span> We need to compute <span>dir x</span> from the information that x is in the same direction as <span>⟨1,−1⟩</span>:<span>dir x=dir ⟨3,−2⟩=<span><span>⟨3,−2⟩</span><span>|⟨3,−2⟩|</span></span>.</span>We need to compute the length <span>|⟨3,−2⟩|</span>. To do this, recall thatThe length of the vector <span>y=⟨<span>y1</span>,<span>y2</span>⟩</span> is <span>|y|=<span><span><span>y21</span>+<span>y22</span></span><span>−−−−−−</span>√</span></span>.Hence, <span>|⟨3,−2⟩|=√13</span>,<span>.</span>Thus 
<span>x=</span><span>√</span>13

Hello,

We are going to used the theorem of Thalès.

||v||=√(3²+(-2)²)=√13

k*√13=10==>k=10/√13

w=k.v=10/√13<3,-2>

Translate the equation using a variable.<br> "Nineteen less than one-half of a number is -13."
Illusion [34]

Answer:

1/2a-19=-13

Step-by-step explanation:

One half of a number represents the phrase "1/2a" (in this case the variable/number is 'a'". Then because it says "nineteen less than", that means you subtract 19 from one half of the variable.

Find the slope of this graph, thanks
Anarel [89]

Slope  =  (change in 'y') / (change in 'x')

If you find two points where the line goes through the corners of boxes,
then count up the 'y' boxes and the 'x' boxes between those two points,
you'll find that the line rises 3 y-boxes for each x-box.

The slope of the line is  3 .

How much of the 8% solution should we use to make 100g of a 3% solution?
sp2606 [1]
Suppose x grams of 8% solution should be mixed to make 100 g of 3% solution.
here we shall have:
the amount of 3% solution in the 100 g will be:
3/100*100=3 grams
the the equation will be, 8% of what quantity becomes 3g?
(8/100)*x=3
hence solving for x we shall have:
0.08x=3
x=3/0.08
x= 37.8 grams
The implication of this is that, when you have 37.5 grams of 8% solution, that will contain 3  of pure chemical and hence when you add more solvent on top of 37.5 g until you reach 100g, that will be 3% solution.
