Show that the vector orthab=b-projacb is orthogonal to a.

Mathematics

Answer:

We have,  a. ortho (ab) = a.b - a.b/[a]² . /a/²

The /a/² cancel off each other, therefore,

a. ortho (ab) = a.b - a.b

a. ortho (ab) = 0

Therefore, the final result is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be noted that the orthogonal projection of a vector B onto A is given by a given formula known as:

proJ(ab)  = a.b/[a]² . a ............equation (1)

Where [a] is the magnitude of the vector a,

therefore, [a]² = a.a ...........equation (2)

Which means that if we have a dot product between a vector and the sum of vector, it can be distributed to each vector.

That is : a . (c - d + b )

a.b - a.d + a.b ...........................equation (3)

and since it is given that Ortho (ab) = b - proJ(ab)..........equation (4)

and in order to show that a two vector are orthogonal, we need to show that their dot product is zero.

Where : a.b = /a//b/ cos ( Ф)

and if the dot product is zero (0), this will imply that ,

cos (Ф) = 0

Now moving forward to the proof,,

The first thing we do is substitute equation (1) into equation (4)

That will give us : ortho (ab) =  b - a.b/[a]² . a

and in order to show that vector a and orth(ab) are orthogonal, we need to show that their dot is zero

Therefore, a . ortho (ab) = a . b -  a.b/[a]² . a ........equation (5)

Now, substituting equation (2) into (5),

We have,  a. ortho (ab) = a.b - a.b/[a]² . /a/²

The /a/² cancel off each other, therefore,

a. ortho (ab) = a.b - a.b

a. ortho (ab) = 0

Therefore, the final result is 0.

A theater can seat 725 people. The number of rows is 4 less than the number of seats in each row. How many rows of seats are the
OverLord2011 [107]
725 is equal to (number of rows)*(number of seats per row)
r = s-4
725 = (s-4)s
s^2-4s-725 = 0
Factoring: (s-29)(s+25) = 0
Thus there are 29 seats per row, and 25 rows.

Find 3 1/6 + (-4 1/3).
jeka94

Answer:

-1 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

3\frac{1}{6} + (-4\frac{1}{3} )

Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions

\frac{19}{6} + (-\frac{13}{3} )

Apply the rule: a + (-b) = a - b

\frac{19}{6} + (-\frac{13}{3} ) = \frac{19}{6} - \frac{13}{3}

The Least Common Multiplier of 6 and 3 is 6

Adjust the fractions on the LCM

\frac{19}{6} - \frac{26}{3}

Apply the Fraction Rule: \frac{a}{c} -\frac{b}{c} = \frac{a - b}{c}

\frac{19 - 26}{6}

Subtract the numbers

\frac{-7}{6}

Apply the Fraction Rule: \frac{-a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

-\frac{7}{6}

Convert improper fraction into a mixed number

-1\frac{1}{6}

Hope this Helps :)
