A point on the first line can be found where t=0: (x, y, z) = (1, 2, 0).

A point on the second line can be found where s=0: (2, 6, -2).


A line perpendicular to both the given lines will have a direction vector that is the cross product of the direction vectors of the given lines:

... (1, 6, 2) × (2, 14, 5) = (2, -1, 2)

A unit vector in this direction will be this vector divided by its magnitude:

... (2, -1, 2)/√(2²+(-1)²+2²) = (2/3, -1/3, 2/3)


The projection of any vector between the two given lines onto this unit vector will have a length equal to the distance between the lines. That is, we can find the distance between the skew lines by forming the dot product of the vector between the two points first found and this unit direction vector.

... (1-2, 2-6, 0-(-2))•(2/3, -1/3, 2/3)

... = -2/3 +4/3 +4/3

... = 2


The distance between the given lines is 2 units.

Why is f(x)=0 the only odd and even function?
kupik [55]
F is odd if and only f f(-x) = -f(x) so f(x) = 0 works because 0 = 0 always.

f is even if and only if f(-x) = f(x) so f(x) = 0 works because there's no x term so nothing changes. 0 = 0.

A survey with a two-point scale was conducted in an organization. It concluded that 85% of the respondents were unsatisfied with
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Number of the peoples were satisfied with the career guidance are 300 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}

As given

A survey with a two-point scale was conducted in an organization.

It concluded that 85% of the respondents were unsatisfied with the career guidance they were provided.

If 2,000 people participated in the survey.

Total value = 2000

Percentage = 85%

Putting all the values in the formula

85 = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{2000}

Part\ value= \frac{2000\times 85}{100}

Part\ value= \frac{170000}{100}

Part value = 1700

i.e

People not satisfied by the career guidance = 1700

People satisfied by the career guidance = Total people participated in survey  - People not satisfied by the career guidance .

Putting the values in the above

                                                                  = 2000 - 1700

                                                                  = 300

Therefore the number of the peoples were satisfied with the career guidance are 300 .

A certain radioactive isotope has leaked into a small stream. Three hundred days after the​ leak, 3% of the original amount of t
sesenic [268]
If the half-life is t, then every t days, the amount of the radioactive isotope will be cut in half.
(1/2)^(number of half-lives) = 3%
number of half-lives = ln(0.03) / ln(0.5)
This gives the number of half-lives as 5.06.
Then 300 days = (5.06)(length of 1 half-life)
length of 1 half-life = 300 / 5.06 = 59.29 days
