Answer:

(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2} }  )

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit vector for a nonzero vector, say u, in the direction of u is given by:

û = \frac{u}{|u|}             ---------------(i)

Where;

|u| = magnitude of vector u

From the question;

u = (4, -4)

First let's calculate the magnitude of u as follows;

|u| = \sqrt{(4)^2 + (-4)^2}

|u| = \sqrt{16 + 16}

|u| = \sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}

Now, substitute u and |u| into equation (i) as follows;

û = \frac{(4, -4)}{4\sqrt{2} }

û = (\frac{4}{4\sqrt{2} }, \frac{-4}{4\sqrt{2} }  )

û = (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2} }  )

Therefore, the unit vector is (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2} }  )

Cleatus pulled into the neighborhood gas station to fill his car with gas. The 91-octane gas is selling for $2.08 per gallon. He
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: $47.60

Step-by-step explanation: First, we will multiply $2.08 by 20 because we want to know how much it will cost for 20 gallons of gas.

$2.08 x 20 = $41.60

Now, just add the $6.00 car wash to the total amount of gas which is $41.60.

$41.60 + $6.00 = $47.60

So, the total amount of his purchase was $47.60
