Answer:

(a.a)-(b.b)=|a|²-|b|²=0

As the dot product of the diagonals is 0, the diagonals must be perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. All the sides are equal in lengths and the sides that are opposite to each other and parallel so it can be expressed as the same vectors.
  2. These diagonals can be expressed by equation a+b and a-b
  3. Take the dot product of the diagonals and simplify.

                           (a+b).(a-b)=(a.a)-(b.b)

   4. A vector dotted with itself is its length squared, and we know that the

       side lengths are equal to each other.

                             (a.a)-(b.b)=|a|²-|b|²=0

What is the piecewise-defined function that expresses the cost of the order, C(x), in terms of the number of photos ordered, x?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The values in the table change by $3.80 from one line to the next. Since each change from line to line changes in number of photos by 20, the average cost per photo is $3.80/20 = $0.19. There is apparently a $5.80 -3.80 = $2.00 shipping charge for numbers of photos in the range shown in the table.

Thus, the piecewise function has 3 pieces:

for x < 100: $2.00 + 0.19x

for x < 200: $4.50 + 0.17x

for x ≥ 200: $0.15x

This could be written as ...

C(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{rcl}\$2.00+0.19x&\text{for}&0\le x
