Expand each vector as linear combinations of the standard basis vectors:

(7, 9, 6) = 7(1, 0, 0) + 9(0, 1, 0) + 6(0, 0, 1)

(-4, 1, 5) = -4(1, 0, 0) + (0, 1, 0) + 5(0, 0, 1)

For brevity, write

i = (1, 0, 0)

j = (0, 1, 0)

k = (0, 0, 1)

Then by definition of the cross product,

i x i = j x j = k x k = (0, 0, 0)

i x j = k

j x k = i

k x i = j

and for any two vectors a and b, we have a x b = - b x a.

Now compute the product:

(7i + 9j + 6k) x (-4i + j + 5k)

= -28 (i x i) - 36 (j x i) - 24 (k x i)

...   + 7 (i x j) + 9 (j x j) + 6 (k x j)

...   + 35 (i x k) + 45 (j x k) + 30 (k x k)

= -36 (-k) - 24 j + 7 k + 6 (-i) + 35 (-j) + 45 i

= 39 i - 59 j + 43 k

which is the same as the vector

(39, -59, 43)

And yes, this vector is perpendicular to both given vectors.

An animal shelter houses dogs, cats, and rabbits. there are 126 animals at the shelter. of the animals, 1/3 are cats. three four
viva [34]
Given that an animal shelter houses three kinds of animals: dogs, cats and rabbits and it has a total of 126 animals. 1/3 of the animals are cats. This means, 1/3 of 126 is 42. So there are 42 cats. 3/4 of the remaining animals, which is 84 are dogs. So 3/4 of 84 is 63. So there are 63 dogs. 63 dogs plus 42 cats is 105 animals. 126 minus 105 is 21. Therefore, there are only 21 rabbits. Hope this helps.

Part A: If (7^2)^x = 1, what is the value of x? Explain your answer. (10 points)
Alex777 [14]
Answers:Part A: The value of x is 0.Part B: X can be any real number.
In Part A, you have to first evaluate 7^2. This is 49. Now, write the equation 49^x = 1. We know that if you raise any number to 0, then the answer is 1.
In Part B, you have to first evaluate 7^0, that is 1. Now, we have the equation 1^x = 1. In this case, 1 raised to any exponent is still only 1. Imagine 1^17, this would be 1 times itself 17 times or just 1.
Therefore any number will work in Part B.
