Let the time taken by Vince to complete the race was x hours.
Maury completed the race 1.5 hours faster. This means Maury complete the race in (x - 1.5) hours.
Average Speed of Maury = 16 miles per hour
Average Speed of Vince = 12 miles per hour
Distance = Speed x Time.
For Maury:
Distance = 16(x - 1.5)
For Vince:
Distance = 12x
Since the distance covered by both was the same, we can equate the two equations as:
16(x - 1.5) = 12x
16x - 24 = 12x
4x = 24
x = 6
This means Vince complete the race in 6 hours.
Distance = Speed x Time = 12 x 6 = 72 miles
Thus, the total distance of the race was 72 miles.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question to be solved is the following :
Suppose that a and b are any n-vectors. Show that we can always find a scalar γ so that (a − γb) ⊥ b, and that γ is unique if 
. Recall that given two vectors a,b a⊥ b if and only if 
where 
is the dot product defined in 
. Suposse that 
. We want to find γ such that 
. Given that the dot product can be distributed and that it is linear, the following equation is obtained
Recall that 
are both real numbers, so by solving the value of γ, we get that
By construction, this γ is unique if 
, since if there was a 
such that 
, then
