Answer:

w-2u-v

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are three vectors u, v and w.

In R^2 we treat first element as x coordinate and 2nd element as y coordinate.

Thus we mark (1,2) in the I quadrant, (-3,4) in II quadrant and (5,0) on positive x axis 5 units form the origin.

b) $w=au+bv$

We have to find the values of a and b

$(5,0) = a(1,2)+b(-3,4)$ ]

Equate the corresponding terms

$5=a-3b\\0=2a+4b$

Divide II equation by 2 to get

$0=a+2b$

Eliminate a

-5 = 5b: b=-1

a=-2

Hence

w = 2u-v

the width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. The area of the rectangle is48 units. What is the width, in units, of the

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

put unknown as y

area of rectangle = width × long

y(y - 2)=48

y² -2y =48

u can use scientific calculator to find this

y²-2y-48=0

(y-8)(y+6)=0

y=8 y=-6

take the positive value and ignore the negative value

width=y-2 long=8

8-2=6

I hope this help you :)

How to prove this using trig identities?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

tanB + cotB = (sinB)/(cosB) + (cosB)/(sinB)

= (sin2B + cos2B)/[(cosB)(sinB)]

= 1/[(cosB)(sinB)]

= (1/cosB)(1/sinB)

= (secB)(cscB)

Endeye needs to split 1/5 of the dinner left over from last week to feed her 3 siblings. What fraction of the original dinner wi

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

They each had 1/20 of the original meal

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin, there are 4 people. Her siblings, and herself. She is splitting the 1/5 leftover to feed them. To do this, we simply take 1/5 and put it into a fraction to get 0.2. Next, we can put 0.2 / 4 into a calculator to get how much each person can get.

0.2 / 4 = 0.05.

Now, we need to turn it into a fraction to find out how much they had in fraction form of the original.

0.05 = 1/20

They each had 1/20 of the original meal

A worker is installing blue and white square tiles in a kitchen. Blue tiles have different lengths than white tiles. A row of 8

ipn [44]

Answer:

8x + 16y = 39 and

40x + 8y = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the blue tiles is b inches and that of the white tiles is w inches.

So, given that a row of 8 blue tiles and 16 white tiles has a length of 39 inches and a row of 40 blue tiles and 8 white tiles has a length of 42 inches.

Therefore, we can write the system of linear equations that represents the relationship between the length if a blue tile and a white tile in inches as

8x + 16y = 39 and

40x + 8y = 42 (Answer)
