An oarsman can row his boat 3 mph in still water. He sets out on the Illinois River, which flows at 5 mph. We are interested in
1 answer:
Answer:
The speed from the observer is 8 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the boat is going downstream with full force, its speed will be the one the oarsman can row on still water added by the flow of the river. In this case he can row the boat at speed of 3 mph, while the stream is 5 mph, so the speed from the observer standpoint is:
The speed from the observer is 8 mph.

Answer:
A), B) and D) are true
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We can prove it as follows:
B) When you compute the product Ax, the i-th component is the matrix of the i-th column of A with x, denote this by Ai x. Then, we have that . Now, the colums of A are orthonormal so we have that (Ai x)^2=x_i^2. Then
.
C) Consider . This set is orthogonal because
, but S is not orthonormal because the norm of (0,2) is 2≠1.
D) Let A be an orthogonal matrix in . Then the columns of A form an orthonormal set. We have that
. To see this, note than the component
of the product
is the dot product of the i-th row of
and the jth row of
. But the i-th row of
is equal to the i-th column of
. If i≠j, this product is equal to 0 (orthogonality) and if i=j this product is equal to 1 (the columns are unit vectors), then
E) Consider S={e_1,0}. S is orthogonal but is not linearly independent, because 0∈S.
In fact, every orthogonal set in R^n without zero vectors is linearly independent. Take a orthogonal set and suppose that there are coefficients a_i such that
. For any i, take the dot product with u_i in both sides of the equation. All product are zero except u_i·u_i=||u_i||. Then
then
