Question:

Vector A has x and y components of −8.80 cm  and 18.0 cm , respectively; vector B has x and  y components of 12.2 cm and −6.80 cm , respectively.  If A − B +3 C = 0, what are the components of C?

Answer:

x = ___ cm

y = ___ cm

Answer:

x = 7.0cm

y = -8.27cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a vector F, with x and y components of a and b respectively, its unit vector representation is as follows;

F = ai + bj              [Where i and j are unit vectors in the x and y directions respectively]

Using this analogy, let's represent vectors A and B from the question in their unit vector notation.

<em>A has an x-component of -8.80cm and y-component of 18.0cm</em>

<em>B has an x-component of 12.2cm and y-component of -6.80cm,</em>

In unit vector notation, these become;

A = -8.80i + 18.0j

B = 12.2 i + (-6.80)j = 12.2i - 6.80j

Also, there is a third vector C. Let the x and y components of C be a and b respectively. Therefore,

C = ai + bj

Now,

A - B + 3C = 0                [substitute the vectors]

=> [-8.80i + 18.0j] - [12.2 i -6.80j] + [3(ai + bj)] =  0        [open brackets]

=> -8.80i + 18.0j - 12.2 i + 6.80j + 3(ai + bj) =  0

=> -8.80i + 18.0j - 12.2 i + 6.80j + 3ai + 3bj =  0

=> -8.80i + 18.0j - 12.2 i + 6.80j + 3ai + 3bj =  0  [collect like terms and solve]

=> -8.80i  - 12.2 i  + 3ai + 6.80j + 18.0j + 3bj =  0

=> -21.0 i  + 3ai + 24.8j + 3bj =  0       [re-arrange]

=> 3ai + 3bj = 21.0i - 24.8j

Comparing both sides shows that;

3a = 21.0  -------------(i)

3b = -24.8    -----------(ii)

From equation (i)

3a = 21.0

a = 21.0 / 3 = 7.0

From equation (ii)

3b = -24.8

b = -24.8 / 3

b = -8.27

Therefore, the x-component and y-component of vector B which are a and b, are 7.0cm and -8.27cm respectively.

When her lung had been reduced below $5000 she could pay the rest and must know how many payments were left because there's a grand total of 10 payments. So let's, uh let's plot these out. Um, so I'm gonna plot a line of why equals 5000 and I'm gonna plant a line, someone have a Y equals 5000. And then there's a formula for that was found in the text to find the amount left over as our times one minus one plus I to the negative in minus X. However, I will tell us how much is left to be paid. So what I'm gonna put into my why equals as I'm gonna put 24 65 82 times one minus 1.0 for to the negative 10 minus sex all over 0.4 Okay, so let's go put that in into our computations. Just clearing my wine menus. 5000 and I'm going to have our values. 24 65.82 times one minus 1.0 for to the negative parentheses. 10 minus acts and divided by zero You hear before. And so that happens at 7.816 payments. So somewhere after her seventh payment on before her eighth payment eso when she goes under, that will be for her eighth payment. Um, so eighth payment puts her under 5000 on, then. Now the eight payments air done. That means, uh that she will have to payments left over. And I think that's what the question was asking. So there were two payments left.

Which of the following are not polynomials
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

A, C, F.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial consists of an expression that involves only non-negative integer exponents for the variable; in all of your cases, the variable is x.

So, expression A has a square root of x, that is a rational exponent.

Expression C has variables in the denominators, that is negative exponent.

Expression F has variable at the exponent.
