Answer:

166.666667 m/ps

Step-by-step explanation:

600/60 will give us the amount of kilometers in a minute. 10 km/ph, now i'll divide more to find the seconds. 0.166666667 this is the amount of KILOMETERS in a second, we are trying to find in meters. multiply by 1000 and 166.666667. a fast fricking train if you ask me.

in exercises 15-20 find the vector component of u along a and the vecomponent of u orthogonal to a u=(2,1,1,2) a=(4,-4,2,-2)

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The component of $\vec u$ orthogonal to $\vec a$ is $\vec u_{\perp\,\vec a} = \left(\frac{9}{5},\frac{6}{5},\frac{9}{10},\frac{21}{10}\right)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\vec u$ and $\vec a$ , from Linear Algebra we get that component of $\vec u$ parallel to $\vec a$ by using this formula:

$\vec u_{\parallel \,\vec a} = \frac{\vec u \bullet\vec a}{\|\vec a\|^{2}} \cdot \vec a$ (Eq. 1)

Where $\|\vec a\|$ is the norm of $\vec a$ , which is equal to $\|\vec a\| = \sqrt{\vec a\bullet \vec a}$ . (Eq. 2)

If we know that $\vec u =(2,1,1,2)$ and $\vec a=(4,-4,2,-2)$ , then we get that vector component of $\vec u$ parallel to $\vec a$ is:

$\vec u_{\parallel\,\vec a} = \left[\frac{(2)\cdot (4)+(1)\cdot (-4)+(1)\cdot (2)+(2)\cdot (-2)}{4^{2}+(-4)^{2}+2^{2}+(-2)^{2}} \right]\cdot (4,-4,2,-2)$

$\vec u_{\parallel\,\vec a} =\frac{1}{20}\cdot (4,-4,2,-2)$

$\vec u_{\parallel\,\vec a} =\left(\frac{1}{5},-\frac{1}{5},\frac{1}{10},-\frac{1}{10} \right)$

Lastly, we find the vector component of $\vec u$ orthogonal to $\vec a$ by applying this vector sum identity:

$\vec u_{\perp\,\vec a} = \vec u - \vec u_{\parallel\,\vec a}$ (Eq. 3)

If we get that $\vec u =(2,1,1,2)$ and $\vec u_{\parallel\,\vec a} =\left(\frac{1}{5},-\frac{1}{5},\frac{1}{10},-\frac{1}{10} \right)$ , the vector component of $\vec u$ is:

$\vec u_{\perp\,\vec a} = (2,1,1,2)-\left(\frac{1}{5},-\frac{1}{5},\frac{1}{10},-\frac{1}{10} \right)$

$\vec u_{\perp\,\vec a} = \left(\frac{9}{5},\frac{6}{5},\frac{9}{10},\frac{21}{10}\right)$

The component of $\vec u$ orthogonal to $\vec a$ is $\vec u_{\perp\,\vec a} = \left(\frac{9}{5},\frac{6}{5},\frac{9}{10},\frac{21}{10}\right)$ .

Which statements are true about the ordered pair (−1, 5) and the system of equations?

{x+y=4 x−y=−6

Select each correct answer.

The ordered pair (−1, 5) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first equation true.The ordered pair (−1, 5) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true.The ordered pair (−1, 5) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false.The ordered pair (−1, 5) is a solution to the system because it makes both
