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:

9,951.04

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the area of the rectangle:

44x88=3,872

Then you add the area of the two semi circles:

A=1/2(pi)(r^2)

A= 3,039.52

Multiply the area above by 2 since there are two semi circles and they are the same size.

Answer: you would have to purchase $1300 of merchandise and the total yearly amount paid to the warehouse for each plan is $1210

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of dollars of merchandise that you would have to purchase in a year to pay the same amount under both plans.

Plan A offers an annual membership fee of $300 and you pay 70%, of the manufacturers reccomended list price. This means that the total cost of using plan A would be

300 + 0.7x

Plan B offers an annual membership fee of $40 and you pay 90% of the manufacturers reccomended list price.

This means that the total cost of using plan B would be

40 + 0.9x

For both plans to be the same,

300 + 0.7x = 40 + 0.9x

0.9x - 0.7x = 300 - 40

0.2x = 260

x = $1300

The total yearly amount paid to the warehouse for each plan would be

40 + 0.9 × 1300 = $1210
