\boxed{\vec{v}=\frac{2}{5}i+4j}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this exercise, we have the following facts for the vector \vec{u}:

  • It has its initial point at (21,12), let's call it P_{1}
  • It has its terminal point at (19,-8), let's call it P_{2}

Since the vector \vec{u} goes from point P_{1} to P_{2}, then:

\vec{u}=(19,-8)-(21,12) \\ \\ \vec{u}=(19-21,-8-12) \\ \\ \vec{u}=(-2,-20)

On the other hand, we have the following facts for the vector \vec{v}:

  • Vector \vec{v} has a direction opposite that of \vec{u},
  • The magnitude of \vec{u} is five times the magnitude of v.

So we can write this relationship as follows:

5\vec{v}=-\vec{u} \\ \\ \vec{v}=-\frac{1}{5}\vec{u} \\ \\ \vec{v}=-\frac{1}{5}(-2,-20) \\ \\ \vec{v}=(\frac{2}{5},4) \\ \\ \\ Finally: \\ \\ \boxed{\vec{v}=\frac{2}{5}i+4j}

Step-by-step explanation:

complement means not choosing an orange  

P( not choosing orange) = (apple and fruit) / total

                                          = (4+6) / (4+6+8)

                                          =10/18
