Given

\vec{a}=2\vec{i}-\vec{j}+5\vec{k},

\vec{b}=\vec{i}+2\vec{j}+4\vec{k},

you can find

\vec{a}-\vec{b}=2\vec{i}-\vec{j}+5\vec{k}-(\vec{i}+2\vec{j}+4\vec{k})=\vec{i}-3\vec{j}+\vec{k}.

Three vectors \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{a}-\vec{b} form a triangle.

1.

\cos\angle 1=\dfrac{\vec{a}\cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}|\cdot |\vec{b}|}=\dfrac{2\cdot 1+(-1)\cdot 2+5\cdot 4}{\sqrt{2^2+(-1)^2+5^2}\cdot \sqrt{1^2+2^2+4^2} }=\dfrac{20}{\sqrt{30} \cdot \sqrt{21} }.

2.

\cos\angle 2=\dfrac{\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{a}-\vec{b})}{|\vec{a}|\cdot |\vec{a}-\vec{b}|}=\dfrac{2\cdot 1+(-1)\cdot (-3)+5\cdot 1}{\sqrt{2^2+(-1)^2+5^2}\cdot \sqrt{1^2+(-3)^2+1^2} }=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{30} \cdot \sqrt{11} }.

3.

\cos\angle 3=\dfrac{\vec{b}\cdot (\vec{a}-\vec{b})}{|\vec{b}|\cdot |\vec{a}-\vec{b}|}=\dfrac{1\cdot 1+2\cdot (-3)+4\cdot 1}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+4^2}\cdot \sqrt{1^2+(-3)^2+1^2} }=\dfrac{-1}{\sqrt{21} \cdot \sqrt{11} }.

Then

  • \angle 1=\arccos \left(\dfrac{20}{\sqrt{30} \cdot \sqrt{21} }\right)\approx 37.17^{\circ};
  • \angle 2=\arccos \left(\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{30} \cdot \sqrt{11} }\right)\approx 56.60^{\circ};
  • \angle 3=\arccos \left(\dfrac{-1}{\sqrt{21} \cdot \sqrt{11} }\right)\approx 93.77^{\circ}.

Since 2003 median home prices in Midvale, UT have been growing exponentially at roughly 4.7 % per year. If you had purchased a h
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The home would be worth $249000 during the year of 2012.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the home in t years after 2004 can be modeled by the following equation:

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which P(0) is the price of the house in 2004 and r is the growth rate.

Since 2003 median home prices in Midvale, UT have been growing exponentially at roughly 4.7 % per year.

This means that r = 0.047

$172000 in 2004

This means that P(0) = 172000

What year would the home be worth $ 249000 ?

t years after 2004.

t is found when P(t) = 249000. So

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}

249000 = 172000(1.047)^{t}

(1.047)^{t} = \frac{249000}{172000}

\log{(1.047)^{t}} = \log{\frac{249000}{172000}}

t\log(1.047) = \log{\frac{249000}{172000}}

t = \frac{\log{\frac{249000}{172000}}}{\log(1.047)}

t = 8.05

2004 + 8.05 = 2012

The home would be worth $249000 during the year of 2012.

Willie changes the quadratic function f(x)=x2?6x+14 to vertex form f(x)=a(x?h)2+k. If Willie does this correctly, what is the va
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The value of k is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know we can convert function's quadratic form to vertex form by completing the square.

f(x)=x2?6x+14

We will add and subtract 9 to our equation in order to complete the square.

1(x^{2} ?6x+9)-9+14

Upon completing the square and combining like terms we will get,

1(x?3)^{2} +5

Upon comparing Willie's vertex form with our expression we can see that k is 5.

Therefore, the value of k is 5.
