(-17,8)
(3,-2)

y-y1=m(x-x1)
where a point is (x1,y1)
and slope=m

slope of 2 points
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(-17,8) and (3,-2)
(x,y)

slope=(-2-8)/(3-(-17))=-10/(3+17)=-10/20=-1/2
y-y1=-1/2(x-y2)

can be
y-8=-1/2(x+17) or
y+2=-1/2(x-3)

2nd option is the answer

Let u = (1, 2 -2), v= (2, 1, 3) and w = j + 4k. a) Find cos theta, where theta is the angle in degrees between u and w.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer: The value of cos theta is -0.352.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$\vec{u}=1\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-2\hat{k}\and\\\\\vec{w}=\hat{j}+4\hat{k}$

We need to find the cos theta between u and w.

As we know the formula for angle between two vectors.

$\cos\ \theta=\dfrac{\vec{u}.\vec{w}}{\mid u\mid \mid w\mid}$

So, it becomes,

$\cos \theta=\dfrac{2-8}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+(-2)^2}\sqrt{1^2+4^2}}\\\\\cos \theta=\dfrac{-6}{\sqrt{17}\sqrt{17}}=\dfrac{-6}{17}=-0.352\\\\\theta=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{-6}{17})=110.66^\circ$

Hence, the value of cos theta is -0.352.

Find two consecutive numbers with a product of 121

Crank

One number: x
Its consecutive: x + 1

Product:

x(x+1)=121
x² + x - 121 = 0

Δ = 1² - 4.1.(-121)
Δ = 1+484
Δ = 485

As square root of 485 is not integer, do not exist two consecutive numbers with product of 121
