A cat chases a mouse. The cat is originally 4 feet behind the mouse, which is running in the same direction along the same route

as the cat. If the cat's speed is 17 feet per second and the mouse's speed is 12 feet per second, how long will it take the cat to catch up with the mouse?

The cat will take 0.8 seconds  to catch up with the mouse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The  distance between the cat and the mouse =  4 feet

cat's speed  = 17 feet per second.

mouse's speed =  12 feet per second

To Find:

how long will it take the cat to catch up with the mouse = ?

Solution:

We know that

distance  = speed x  time

Rewriting the equation for time we get

time  =\frac{distance }{speed}

now we know that distance is  4 feet

and the speed is 17 -12 = 5 feet per second

Thus the time is

= \frac{4}{5}

= 0.8 seconds

All vectors are in Rn. Check the true statements below:
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A), B) and D) are true

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can prove it as follows:

Proy_{cv}y=\frac{(y\cdot cv)}{||cv||^2}cv=\frac{c(y\cdot v)}{c^2||v||^2}cv=\frac{(y\cdot v)}{||v||^2}v=Proy_{v}y

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 ||Ax||=\sqrt{(A_1 x)^2+\cdots (A_n x)^2}. Now, the colums of A are orthonormal so we have that (Ai x)^2=x_i^2. Then ||Ax||=\sqrt{(x_1)^2+\cdots (x_n)^2}=||x||.

C) Consider S=\{(0,2),(2,0)\}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2. This set is orthogonal because (0,2)\cdot(2,0)=0(2)+2(0)=0, but S is not orthonormal because the norm of (0,2) is 2≠1.

D) Let A be an orthogonal matrix in \mathbb{R}^n. Then the columns of A form an orthonormal set. We have that A^{-1}=A^t. To see this, note than the component b_{ij} of the product A^t A is the dot product of the i-th row of A^t and the jth row of A. But the i-th row of A^t is equal to the i-th column of A. 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 A^t A=I    

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 \{u_1,u_2\cdots u_p\} and suppose that there are coefficients a_i such that a_1u_1+a_2u_2\cdots a_nu_n=0. 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 a_i||u_i||=0 then a_i=0.
