Answer:

From top to bottom, the boxes shown are number 3, 5, 6, 2, 4, 1 when put in ascending order.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet tell you the magnitude of the sum. For a problem such as this, it is even more convenient to let the calculator give you all the answers at once.

The TI-84 image shows the calculation for a list of vectors being added to 4∠60°. The magnitudes of the sums (rounded to 2 decimal places—enough accuracy to put them in order) are ...

... ║4∠60° + 3∠120°║≈6.08

... ║4∠60° + 4.5∠135°║≈6.75

... ║4∠60° + 4∠45°║≈7.93

... ║4∠60° + 6∠210°║≈3.23

... ║4∠60° + 5∠330°║≈6.40

... ║4∠60° + 7∠240°║≈ 3

_____

In the calculator working, the variable D has the value π/180. It converts degrees to radians so the calculation will work properly. The abs( ) function gives the magnitude of a complex number.

On this calculator, it is convenient to treat vectors as complex numbers. Other calculators can deal with vectors directly

_____

<em>Doing it by hand</em>

Perhaps the most straigtforward way to add vectors is to convert them to a representation in rectangular coordinates. For some magnitude M and angle A, the rectangular coordinates are (M·cos(A), M·sin(A)). For this problem, you would convert each of the vectors in the boxes to rectangular coordinates, and add the rectangular coordinates of vector t.

For example, the first vector would be ...

3∠120° ⇒(3·cos(120°), 3·sin(120°)) ≈ (-1.500, 2.598)

Adding this to 4∠60° ⇒ (4·cos(60°), 4°sin(60°)) ≈ (2.000, 3.464) gives

... 3∠120° + 4∠60° ≈ (0.5, 6.062)

The magnitude of this is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

... M = √(0.5² +6.062²) ≈ 6.08

___

<em>Using the law of cosines</em>

The law of cosines can also be used to find the magnitude of the sum. When using this method, it is often helpful to draw a diagram to help you find the angle between the vectors.

When 3∠120° is added to the end of 4∠60°, the angle between them is 120°. Then the law of cosines tells you the magnitude of the sum is ...

... M² = 4² + 3² -2·4·3·cos(120°) = 25-24·cos(120°) = 37

... M = √37 ≈ 6.08 . . . . as in the other calculations.

Question 17
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

698 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, we can represent an exponential growth function as;

y = a•(1 + r)^t

originally, there were 3 fishes

The original value in this case means a = 3

After 6 weeks, there were 31

31 in this case is y

r is the increase percentage or rate

t is the time

So, we have it that;

31 = 3•(1 + r)^6

31/3 = (1 + r)^6

10.33 = (1 + r)^6

ln 10.33 = 6 ln (1 + r)

ln 10.33/6 = ln (1 + r)

e^0.3892 = (1 + r)

1 + r = 1.476

r = 1.476-1

r = 0.476 or 47.6%

So the growth percentage or rate is 47.6%

For 14 weeks, we simply have the value of t as 14;

So ;

y = 3•(1 + 0.476)^14

y = 3(1.476)^14

y = 698 fishes
