Let's define the vectors:
 u = (4,4)
 v = (- 7.3)
 The projection of u on v is:
 P = ((u.v) / (v ^ 2)) v
 We have then:
 u.v = (4,4). (- 7.3)
 u.v = (4) * (- 7) + (4) * (3) = -28 + 12 = -16
 v ^ 2 = (- 7) ^ 2 + (3) ^ 2 = 49 + 9 = 58
 Substituting we have:
 P = ((- 16) / (58)) (- 7, 3)
 Rewriting:
 P = -0.28 (-7, 3)
 Answer:
 
the projection of (4,4) onto (-7,3) is:
 
C) -0.28 (-7.3)

If a ladder reaches 10 feet up on a wall while the base is 3 feet away how tall is the ladder
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Side a = 10.44031

Side b = 10

Side c = 3

Angle ∠A = 90° = 1.5708 rad = π/2

Angle ∠B = 73.301° = 73°18'3" = 1.27934 rad

Angle ∠C = 16.699° = 16°41'57" = 0.29146 rad

Delmar is constructing an equilateral triangle. He uses his straightedge to draw a segment and labels the endpoints W and X. Wit
MakcuM [25]
<span>Use a straightedge to join points W and P and then points P and X. â–łWPX is equilateral. Let's see now, Delmar has a line segment WX and has drawn 2 circles whose radius is the length of WX, centered upon W and centered upon X. Sounds to me that all he needs to do is select one of the intersections of those 2 circles and use that at the 3rd point of the equilateral triangle and draw a line from that point to W and another line from that point to X. Doesn't matter which of the two intersections he chooses, just needs to pick one. Looking at the available options, only the 1st one which is "Use a straightedge to join points W and P and then points P and X. â–łWPX is equilateral." matches my description, so that is the correct choice. The other choices tend to do rather bizarre things like create a perpendicular bisector of WX and for some unknown reason, claim that bisector is somehow a side of a desired equilateral triangle.</span>

Here are two steps from the derivation of the quadratic formula.
Lana71 [14]

What took place between the first step and the second step? - A. Taking the square root of both sides.

As we can see from the first to second step, the left side of the equation goes from being squared to not being squared. While on the right side of the equation, the square root is now being taken.

Hope this helps!! :)

Jerry took a sample of 4 employees in his office and observed how many hours they each worked one day.
Illusion [34]

The error in Jerry's calculation is 4.84

The number of employees, N = 4

The mean is calculated as:

\mu = \frac{10+2+4+8}{4} \\\mu = \frac{24}{4} \\\mu = 6

The formula for the standard deviation is:

SD =\sqrt{\frac{\sum{(x-\mu)^2}}{N} }

This can be further calculated as:

SD = \sqrt{\frac{(10-6)^2+(2-6)^2+(4-6)^2+(8-6)^2}{4} }\\\\SD = \sqrt{\frac{4^2+(-4)^2+(-2)^2+(2)^2}{4} } \\\\SD = \sqrt{\frac{16+16+4+4}{4} } \\\\SD = \sqrt{\frac{40}{4} } \\\\SD = \sqrt{10} \\\\SD = 3.16

Jerry thinks the Standard Deviation = 8

The true Standard Deviation = 3.16

Error = |True value - Measured value|

Error = |3.16 - 8|

Error = 4.84
