Find a vector equation and parametric equations for the line segment that joins p to q.P(0, - 1, 1), Q(1/2, 1/3, 1/4)

Mathematics

Answer:

vector equation:

\overrightarrow{PQ}=\begin{bmatrix}1/2}\\4/3\\-3/4\end{bmatrix}

parametric equations:

r_x = \dfrac{1}{2}t\\r_y = -1 +\dfrac{4}{3}t\\r_z = 1=\dfrac{3}{4}t

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the points are given as:

P(0,-1,1) and Q(1/2,1/3,1/4)

the coordinates of any points are also position vectors (vectors starting from the origin to that point), and can be represented as:

\overrightarrow{OP} = 0\hat{i}-1\hat{j}+1\hat{k}

or

\overrightarrow{OP} = \begin{bmatrix}0\\-1\\1\end{bmatrix}

similarly,

\overrightarrow{OQ} =\dfrac{1}{2}\hat{i}+\dfrac{1}{3}\hat{j}+\dfrac{1}{4}\hat{k}

or

\overrightarrow{OQ} = \begin{bmatrix}1/2}\\1/3\\1/4\end{bmatrix}

the vector PQ can be described as:

\overrightarrow{PQ}=\overrightarrow{OQ}-\overrightarrow{OP}

\overrightarrow{PQ}=\begin{bmatrix}1/2}\\1/3\\1/4\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}0\\-1\\1\end{bmatrix}

\overrightarrow{PQ}=\begin{bmatrix}1/2}\\4/3\\-3/4\end{bmatrix}

this is the vector equation of the line segment from P to Q.

to make the parametric equations:

we know that the general equation of a line is represented as:

\overrightarrow{r} = \overrightarrow{r_0} + t\overrightarrow{d}

here, \overrightarrow{r_0}: is the initial position or the starting point. in our case it is the position vector of P

and \overrightarrow{d}: is the direction vector or the direction of the line. in our case that's PQ vector.

\overrightarrow{r} = \begin{bmatrix}0\\-1\\1\end{bmatrix} + t\begin{bmatrix}1/2}\\4/3\\-3/4\end{bmatrix}

that parametric equations can now be easily formed:

\begin{bmatrix}r_x\\r_y\\r_z\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}0\\-1\\1\end{bmatrix} + t\begin{bmatrix}1/2}\\4/3\\-3/4\end{bmatrix}

r_x = \dfrac{1}{2}t\\r_y = -1 +\dfrac{4}{3}t\\r_z = 1=\dfrac{3}{4}t

these are the parametric equations of the line PQ

Find the area, round to nearest tenth
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

I think it would be 350

Step-by-step explanation:

25x7=175

175/2=87.5

87.5 would be the area of 1 triangle. There are 4 triangles so

87.5x4=350

How much principle, to the nearest dollar, should you invest at 4 percent in order to have $3000 for a vacation to Europe in 3 y
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Principle should be $2,667

Step-by-step explanation:

We need $3000 for a vacation to Europe in 3 years.

Using amount formula,

A=P(1+r)^t

Where, P is principle (P=?)

A is amount (A=3000)

r is rate of interest (r=0.04)

t is time (t=3)

Substitute the values into formula and solve for P

3000=P(1+0.04)^3

3000=P(1.04)^3

P=\frac{3000}{1.04^3}

P=2666.98

P\approx \$2667

Hence, Principle should be $2,667

The curve with equation y=ax^2+bx has a gradient of 3 at the point (2,-2). Find the values of a and b.
Airida [17]

Answer:

a = 2, b = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = ax² + bx

\frac{dy}{dx} is the measure of the slope at x = a

Differentiate each term with respect to x using the power rule

\frac{d}{dx}(ax^{n} ) = nax^{n-1}

\frac{dy}{dx} = 2ax + b, hence

2ax + b = 3 at (2, - 2)

Substitute x = 2 into \frac{dy}{dx}

4a + b = 3 → (1) and substitute x = 2 into y

4a + 2b = - 2 → (2)

Subtract ( 1) from (2)

b = - 2 - 3 = - 5

Substitute b = - 5 into (1)

4a - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )

4a = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 2
