Answer with explanation:

For any object having the velocity vector as

\overrightarrow{v}=v_x\widehat{i}+v_y\widehat{j}+v_z\widehat{k}

the magnitude of velocity is given by

|v|=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2+v_z^2}

For car 1 the velocity vector is

\overrightarrow{v}_1=20\widehat{i}+25\widehat{j}

Therefore

|v_1|=\sqrt{20^2+25^2}\\\\\therefore v_1=32.0156units

Similarly for car 2 we have

\overrightarrow{v}_2=30\widehat{i}

Therefore

|v_2|=\sqrt{30^2}\\\\\therefore v_2=30.0units

Comparing both the values we find that car 1 has the greater speed.

Birmingham and Montgomery both have a state sales tax rate of 4 percent and a local tax rate of 6 percent – although the report notes that part of Birmingham lies in Shelby County, meaning the combined rate is only 9 percent in some parts of the city.

An architect wants to draw a rectangle with a diagonal of 13 centimeters. The length of the rectangle is to be 3 centimeters mor
butalik [34]

Answer:

The rectangle is 3.2 cm by 12.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached image for a diagram.

Choose <em>w</em> to represent the width because the length is described by referring to the width:  it's 3 more than (add 3) triple (multiplied by 3) the width.

Length = 3w + 3

The diagonal forms two right triangles, each with leg = <em>w</em>, other leg = 3<em>w</em> + 3, hypotenuse  =  13.

The Pythagorean Theorem says (\text{leg})^2+(\text{leg})^2=(\text{hypotenuse})^2 so

w^2+(3w+3)^2=13^2\\\\w^2+9w^2+18w+9=169\\\\10w^2+18w-160=0\\\\5w^2+9w-80=0\\

Now solve using the Quadratic Formula with a=5,\,b=9,\,c=-80.

w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\w=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{81+1600}}{10}\\\\w=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{1681}}{10}\\\\w=\frac{-9\pm41}{10}\\\\w=-5\text{ or }w=3.2

The negative root makes no sense as a distance, so the width of the rectangle is 3.2 cm. The length is 3(3.2) + 3 = 12.6 cm.

What is the reciprocal of 1 and 2/3?
mr_godi [17]

Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation: To find the reciprocal of 1 and 2/3, we first need to convert 1 and 2/3 to an improper fraction.

To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator times the whole number, then add the numerator.

So here, we multiply the denominator, 3, times the whole number, 1, then we add the numerator. So we have (3 x 1) + 2 or 3 + 2 which is 5.

Now we put our new number over our old denominator and we get 5/3.

However, we're not done yet. We still need to find the reciprocal.

The reciprocal describes a fraction so when we're asked to find the reciprocal of 5/3, we want to switch the numerator and denominator.

So if we switch 5/3, we get the proper fraction 3/5.

Therefore, the mixed number 1 and 2/3 is equivalent to the improper fraction 5/3, and if we switch the top and bottom numbers, we get 3/5.
