Answer:

The unit vector in component form is \hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}  \right) or \hat{u} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i-\frac{3}{13}\,j.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be \vec u = (2,-3), its unit vector is determined by following expression:

\hat {u} = \frac{\vec u}{\|\vec u \|}

Where \|\vec u \| is the norm of \vec u, which is found by Pythagorean Theorem:

\|\vec u\|=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-3)^{2}}

\|\vec u\| = \sqrt{13}

Then, the unit vector is:

\hat{u} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{13}} \cdot (2,-3)

\hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}  \right)

The unit vector in component form is \hat{u} = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13} },-\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}  \right) or \hat{u} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i-\frac{3}{13}\,j.

Plzz Help ASAP!! i posted the picture?

Hi!


So the original formula for a problem likes this or a quadratic is:


ax^2 + bx+ c


so a is the accelaration; b is the initial velocity; and c is the initial height


so none of those are the zeros, which means c is out


zeros are the x values when y is 0, that also means when the parabola crosses the x axis


so d is out too because the maximum height is the vertex which mean that there would probably be a y value. in some cases the vertex is the zero, but not here


B is out because x isn't time it is distance

your answer is A!


Hope this helps!

In triangle XYZ, the length of side XY is 23 mm and the length of side YZ is 36 mm. Which of the following could be the length o
svlad2 [7]
Answer: The correct answer is Choice D, 43 mm.

When you know 2 sides of a triangle, you can find the range for the final side of the triangle. 

First, if we subtract 36 - 23 = 13, the third leg must be more than 13. Otherwise, the two smaller legs would not meet to make the third leg.

Second, if we add 36 + 23 = 59, the third leg must be less than 59. Otherwise, the third leg would reach further than the other two legs could reach.

43 is the only number larger than 13 but smaller than 59 in our list.
