\bf \textit{unit vector for }(a,b)\implies \left( \cfrac{a}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}~~,~~\cfrac{b}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}} \right)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
(-3,2)\qquad \stackrel{unit~vector}{\implies }\qquad \left( \cfrac{-3}{\sqrt{(-3)^2+2^2}}~~,~~\cfrac{2}{\sqrt{(-3)^2+2^2}} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( -\cfrac{3}{\sqrt{13}}~~,~~ \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\right)\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \textit{and now let's \underline{rationalize} the denominator for each}
\\\\\\
-\cfrac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{13}}\implies -\cfrac{3\sqrt{13}}{13} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad  \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{13}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{13}}{13}
\\\\\\
\textit{and written in \underline{ai+bj form}}\qquad -\cfrac{3\sqrt{13}}{13}i~~~~+~~~~\cfrac{2\sqrt{13}}{13}j

Use the function below to find F(4).
Westkost [7]
To find F(4), you simply plug 4 in for x. That means multiplying 5 by 1/2x to the 4th power. That comes out to .3125, or D. (5/16)

The sum of two numbers is 15. Twice one number equals 3 times the other. Find both numbers
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

9 & 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, check if, by adding them (sum), they equal 15:

9 + 6 = 15

Next, check the greater number, by multiplying it by 2:

9 x 2 = 18

Check the lesser number, by multiplying it by 3:

6 x 3 = 18

Note that they both have 18 as an answer.

9 & 6 are your answers.
