law for multiplication. (Hint: find a simple example of a cross product of 3 vectors that fails to be associative, showing the calculations.)

Answer:

a = (1,0,0)

b = (1,1,0)

c = (1,1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this, we must find a counter example, that is to say, three vectors a, b,and c such that

(a x b) x c different to a x (b x c)

Let a, b and c be the vectors

a = (1,0,0)

b = (1,1,0)

c = (1,1,1)

Then (a x b) x c = (-1,-1,0)

See attachment 1

whereas

a x (b x c) = (0,0,1)

See attachment 2

So,

(a\times b)\times c \neq a \times(b\times c)

and the cross product is not associative.

Answer:

Miguel would probably have to pay  16,620$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because, when you do 100 times 15, you know that its 1500. Know do 15 times 4, that is 60, add the 0 and its 600. You know have 2100 in total. Multiply that by 4 and you have 8,400.

Now do 950 + 950, which is 1800 since we know that 9 + 9 is 18, so just add the two 0's. Then add 50 + 50 which is 100, so you get 1900 now.

Next, if you do 800 plus 800, its 1600, just follow the same way i did last time and for the remaining. Now do 25 + 25 which is 50 so 1650.

Then you have 495 and 495, you are going to want to do, 450 + 450 when you do that, you will have 900, then add 45 plus 45 because that is what is left, so 990.

Lastly, you have heal insurance which is 1,840. First do 1,000 + 1,000. You are left with 2 thousand. Then do 800 + 800, you now have 3,600. Then add 80 and you have a sum of 3,680.

You might be asking why I did everything twice and added them. This is because he is doing it for 2 years.

When you add these all together you get option D. 16,620.

I hope I helped, please let me know if you have any questions.

There are 10 mm in one cm and 100 cm in 1m. an adult alligator is about 4,000 mm long and an adult crocodile is abt 6m long
OLEGan [10]
Answer: crocodile is longer
To get from mm to m, you would divide by 1000. 4000/1000 is 4, meaning the alligator is 4m and the croc is 6m (therefore longer)
