Answer:

it's 1z-4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 = 4

(less than) = subtraction

(product of) = multiplication

one = 1

Z = Z

do a switcheroo

which then becomes : (1)(z)(-)(4)

(product of) (one) and a (number z) = 1 multiplied by z

4 is less than = - 4 because it's less than

Determine whether the given vectors are orthogonal, parallel or neither. (a) u=[-3,9,6], v=[4,-12,-8,], (b) u=[1,-1,2] v=[2,-1,1

nevsk [136]

Answer:

a) $u v= (-3)*(4) + (9)*(-12)+ (6)*(-8)=-168$

Since the dot product is not equal to zero then the two vectors are not orthogonal.

$|u|= \sqrt{(-3)^2 +(9)^2 +(6)^2}=\sqrt{126}$

$|v| =\sqrt{(4)^2 +(-12)^2 +(-8)^2}=\sqrt{224}$

$cos \theta = \frac{uv}{|u| |v|}$

$\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{uv}{|u| |v|})$

If we replace we got:

$\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{-168}{\sqrt{126} \sqrt{224}})=cos^{-1} (-1) = \pi$

Since the angle between the two vectors is 180 degrees we can conclude that are parallel

b) $u v= (1)*(2) + (-1)*(-1)+ (2)*(1)=5$

$|u|= \sqrt{(1)^2 +(-1)^2 +(2)^2}=\sqrt{6}$

$|v| =\sqrt{(2)^2 +(-1)^2 +(1)^2}=\sqrt{6}$

$cos \theta = \frac{uv}{|u| |v|}$

$\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{uv}{|u| |v|})$

$\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{5}{\sqrt{6} \sqrt{6}})=cos^{-1} (\frac{5}{6}) = 33.557$

Since the angle between the two vectors is not 0 or 180 degrees we can conclude that are either.

c) $u v= (a)*(-b) + (b)*(a)+ (c)*(0)=-ab +ba +0 = -ab+ab =0$

Since the dot product is equal to zero then the two vectors are orthogonal.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each case first we need to calculate the dot product of the vectors, and after this if the dot product is not equal to 0 we can calculate the angle between the two vectors in order to see if there are parallel or not.

Part a

u=[-3,9,6], v=[4,-12,-8,]

The dot product on this case is:

$u v= (-3)*(4) + (9)*(-12)+ (6)*(-8)=-168$

Since the dot product is not equal to zero then the two vectors are not orthogonal.

Now we can calculate the magnitude of each vector like this:

$|u|= \sqrt{(-3)^2 +(9)^2 +(6)^2}=\sqrt{126}$

$|v| =\sqrt{(4)^2 +(-12)^2 +(-8)^2}=\sqrt{224}$

And finally we can calculate the angle between the vectors like this:

$cos \theta = \frac{uv}{|u| |v|}$

And the angle is given by:

$\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{uv}{|u| |v|})$

If we replace we got:

$\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{-168}{\sqrt{126} \sqrt{224}})=cos^{-1} (-1) = \pi$

Since the angle between the two vectors is 180 degrees we can conclude that are parallel

Part b

u=[1,-1,2] v=[2,-1,1]

The dot product on this case is:

$u v= (1)*(2) + (-1)*(-1)+ (2)*(1)=5$

Since the dot product is not equal to zero then the two vectors are not orthogonal.

Now we can calculate the magnitude of each vector like this:

$|u|= \sqrt{(1)^2 +(-1)^2 +(2)^2}=\sqrt{6}$

$|v| =\sqrt{(2)^2 +(-1)^2 +(1)^2}=\sqrt{6}$

And finally we can calculate the angle between the vectors like this:

$cos \theta = \frac{uv}{|u| |v|}$

And the angle is given by:

$\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{uv}{|u| |v|})$

If we replace we got:

$\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{5}{\sqrt{6} \sqrt{6}})=cos^{-1} (\frac{5}{6}) = 33.557$

Since the angle between the two vectors is not 0 or 180 degrees we can conclude that are either.

Part c

u=[a,b,c] v=[-b,a,0]

The dot product on this case is:

$u v= (a)*(-b) + (b)*(a)+ (c)*(0)=-ab +ba +0 = -ab+ab =0$

Since the dot product is equal to zero then the two vectors are orthogonal.

A company purchased a machine for $970,000. the machine has a useful life of 12 years and a residual value of $4,500. it is esti

harina [27]

Cost less salvage value = 970,000 - 4500 = 965,500
Capacity of machine = 1,000,000 units.
units consumed at the end of second year = 200,000 + 300,000 = 500,000 units.
Capacity remaining = 1,000,000 - 500,000 = 500,000 units
Book value at end of second year = (500,000/1,000,000)*965,500 + 4500
= $487,250

The Johnson twins were born five years after their older sister. This year, the product of the three siblings' ages is exactly

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

13 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, today, the Johnson twins' age is x years. Then the age of their elder sister will be (x + 5) years old. It is given that product of the three siblings' ages is exactly 2998 more than the sum of their ages. Therefore:

x + x + x + 5 + 2998 = (x)(x)(x + 5).

3x + 3003 = x^3 + 5x^2.

x^3 + 5x^2 - 3x - 3003 = 0.

To solve the question, factor theorem will be used. It states if any number c satisfies the equation f(c) = 0, then c is the factor of f(x). By observation, it can be seen that x = 13 can be a possible candidate for the factor of f(x). To verify, check f(13).

f(13) = 13^3 + 5(13^2) - 3(13) - 3003 = 2197 + 845 - 39 - 3003 = 0.

Since f(13) = 0, therefore x = 13 is the factor of f(x).

Now applying synthetic division:

Column 1 2 3 4 5

13 | 1 5 -3 -3003 (Row 1)

______|______<u> _13__234___3003</u> (Row 2)

| 1 18 231 0 (Row 3)

The method requires to write the coefficients of all the powers in the Row 1 on the right hand side of the table. Put the factor x = 13 on the left hand side of the table (Row 1 Column 1). The first step involves the second column elements to be added. Since there is only 1, thus there will be 1 below the line. Next step involves multiplying 1 with the factor (which is 13) and this will be the element for row 2 column 3. The add the elements of the column 3. The answer comes out to be -3. Repeat the above steps for the columns 4 and 5. The sum of the column 5 (the last column) should be 0, which is the case. The elements of the last row are actually the coefficients of the quadratic equation which is resultant from dividing f(x) by (x - 13). Thus:

x^2 + 18x + 231 = 0.

Using completing the square:

x^2 + 18 = -231.

(x)^2 + 2*(x)*(9) + (9)^2 = -231 + (9)^2.

(x + 9)^2 = -231 + 81.

(x + 9)^2 = -150.

Taking square root on both sides shows that rest of the 2 answers of this polynomial will be complex roots since square root of -150 does not exist in real numbers. Therefore, since the age is a real quantity and not a complex quantity, the age of the twins is 13 years!!!
