Answer:

The magnitude of the given vector is 40.72 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vector is $v=-3\widehat{i}+40\widehat{j}+7\widehat{k}$

We know that for any vector 'r' $\overrightarrow{r}=x\widehat{i}+y\widehat{j}+z\widehat{k}$ the magnitude is given by

$|r|=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}$

Comparing with the given vector we have

x = -3

y = 40

z = 7

Thus the magnitude equals

$|v|=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+40^{2}+7^{2}}$

$|v|=40.72$

Basile [38]

Answer:

$W_{max}=480m\\ L_{max}=160m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know we only have 640 feet of fence available, we know that L + W + L = 640, $\implies$ 2L + W = 640. This allows us to represent the width, W, in terms of L: W = 640 – 2L

Remember, the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its width and length, therefore,

$A_{\rm pigpen}=L(640-2L)\implies 640L-2L^2$

Notice that, quadratic has been vertically reflected, since the coefficient on the squared term is negative, so the graph will open downwards, and the vertex will be a maximum value for the area.
