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.

Suppose a telephone poll is conducted by contacting U.S. citizens via landlines about their view of gay marriage. Suppose over 5
Elanso [62]

Answer:

No, it doesn't mean that we can say over 50% of all people in the U.S. do not support gay marriage.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a telephone poll is conducted by contacting U.S. citizens via landlines about their view of gay marriage.

Suppose over 50% of those called do not support gay marriage.

Firstly, as we can see here that we have no information about the population and also how many people have been surveyed. <u>This means that we can't say that this poll is a representative sample. </u>

A representative sample is that which incorporates the characteristics of the whole population. As here the U.S. citizens have been contacted through landlines which means this poll does not include people who neither have landlines nor cell phones.

So, by no means, a telephone poll is a representative sample of the whole population of Us.

Hence, we can't say that over 50% of all people in the U.S. do not support gay marriage.
