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

The velocity v in meters per second of a certain type of wave is given by v(h)=3 square root h

Serga [27]

The rate of change will be given by:
v(h)=3√h=3h^0.5
The rate of change will be:
v'(h)=(3×0.5)x^-0.5=1.5x^-0.5
hence when h=2 meters, then the rate of change will be:
v'(h)=1.5×2^-0.5
v'(h)=1.061 m/s

The population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current population, and in the absence of

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Population of mosquitoes in the area at any time t is:

$P(t) =504,943.26 -104,943.26e^{0.693t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

assume population at any time t = P(t)

population increases at a rate proportional to the current population:

⇒dP/dt ∝ P

$\implies \frac{dP}{dt} =kP$ ----(1)

where k is constant rate at which population is doubled

solving (1)

$ln|P(t)|=kt +C\\P(t)= e^{kt+C}\\P(t)=Ce^{kt}$

$t=0\\P(0) = P_{o}\\\implies C= P_{o}\\P(t) =P_{o}e^{kt}\\$ ---- (2)

initial population = 400,000

population is doubled every week

⇒P(1)=2P(0)

Using (2)

$P_{o}e^{k(1)} = 2P_{o} e^{k(0)}\\$

$e^{k} =2\\k=ln|2|\\$

In presence of predators amount is decreased by 50,000 per day

Then amount decreased per week = 350,000

In this case (1) becomes

$\frac{dP}{dt}=kP-350,000\\\frac{dP}{dt} - kP=-350,000\\$ ---(3)

solving (3) by calculating integrating factor

$I.F=e^{\int-k dt}$

Multiplying I.F with all terms of (3)

$e^{-kt}\frac{dP}{dt} - ke^{-kt}P =-350,000 e^{-kt}\\\frac{d}{dt}(e^{-kt}P) = -350,000 e^{-kt}$

Integrating w.r.to t

$e^{-kt}P(t)= \frac{350,000e^{-kt}}{k} +C$

$P(t) =\frac{350,000}{k} +Ce^{kt}\\$

$k=ln|2| =0.693$

$P(t) =504,943.26 + Ce^{0.693t}\\$

at t=0

$P(0) =504,943.26 + Ce^{0.693(0)}$

$400,000 =504,943.26 + C$

$C = -104,943.26$

So, population of mosquitoes in the area at any time t is

$P(t) =504,943.26 -104,943.26e^{0.693t}$

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square. x2 + 6x + 7 = 0

Allisa [31]

from the equation x^2 - 6x + 7 = 0 , b is equal to -6. The form should become y = (x-(b/2)^2) + c. (b/2)^2 is equal to 9. Hence,

0 = (x - 3)^2 -9 + 7
0 = (x - 3)^2 -2
2 = (x - 3)^2

x should be equal to -1.5858 and -4.4142
