ANSWER

a \cdot \: b =  - 4

EXPLANATION

The dot product of two vectors

a = xi + yj

and

b = mi + nj

is given by

a \cdot \: b = mx + ny

The given vectors are:

a = 4i - 4j

b = 4i + 5j

Applying the above definition of dot products, we obtain:

a \cdot \: b = 4 \times 4 +  - 4 \times 5

a \cdot \: b = 16   - 20

a \cdot \: b =  - 4

Answer:

value of a.b = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a.b

a= 4i-4j

b = 4i+5j

We know that i.i =1, j.j=1, i.j =0 and j.i=0

a.b = (4i-4j).(4i+5j)

a.b = 4i(4i+5j)-4j(4i+5j)

a.b = 16i.i +20i.j-16j.i-20j.j

a.b = 16(1) +20(0)-16(0)-20(1)

a.b = 16 +0-0-20

a.b = 16-20

a.b =-4

So, value of a.b = -4

Carlos Martin received a statement from his bank showing a balance of $56.75 as of March 15th his check book shows a balance of
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

$48.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the deposited amount between the March 15th and the March 20th be x

Balance on 15th march =  $56.75

The bank returned all the cancelled checks but too. One check was for $5 and the other was for $13.25

And he also deposited x amount

After deposits and deductions

So, balance = 56.75 +x - (13.25+5)

The new balance on 20th march =  $87.37

⇒56.75 +x - (13.25+5)=87.37

⇒56.75 +x - 18.25=87.37

⇒38.5 +x =87.37

⇒x =87.37-38.5

⇒x =48.87

Hence Carlos deposited  $48.87  in his account between the March 15th and the March 20th.

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (-4,6) and (-8,-2)
umka2103 [35]
The formula to find the midpoint of a segment is ((x1 + x2)/2,),(y1 + y2)/2).

The x coordinate of the first point is -4, and the x coordinate of the second point is -8.  The y coordinate of the first point is 6, and the y coordinate of the second point is -2.  Now, we can plug these into our formula.

((-4 + (-8))/2), (6 + (-2))/2)) = (-12/2), (4/2) = (-6, 2)

So, (-6, 2) is the midpoint of the segment.
