Recall that for 3 vectors a,b,c, all in \mathbb R^3, the vector triple product

a\times(b\times c)=(a\cdot c)b-(a\cdot b)c

So

(v\times w)\times(w\times u)=((v\times w)\cdot u)w-((v\times w)\cdot w)u

Also recall the scalar triple product,

a\cdot(b\times c)

which gives the signed volume of the parallelipiped generated by the three vectors a,b,c. When either a=b or a=c, the parallelipepid is degenerate and has 0 volume, so

(v\times w)\cdot w=0

and the above reduces to

(v\times w)\times(w\times u)=((v\times w)\cdot u)w

so that

(u\times v)\cdot[(v\times w)\times(w\times u)]=(u\times v)\cdot((v\times w)\cdot u)w

The scalar triple product has the following property:

a\cdot(b\times c)=b\cdot(c\times a)=c\cdot(a\times b)

Since (v\times w)\cdot u is a scalar, we can factor it out to get

((v\times w)\cdot u)((u\times v)\cdot w)

and by the property above we have

(u\times v)\cdot w=u\cdot(v\times w)

and so we end up with

[u\cdot(v\times w)]^2

as required.

What is the average rate of change of the function f(x) = 5x ^ 2 + 20x between x = 0 and x = 0.5
Vitek1552 [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change on the interval [a, b] is the ratio ...

  (f(b) -f(x))/(b -a)

For your function and interval, it is ...

  (f(0.5) -f(0))/(0.5 -0)

Since f(0) = 0, this reduces to ...

  average rate of change = 2·f(0.5) = 2(5(0.5)² +20(0.5)) = 2(5/4 +10)

  average rate of change = 22.5

Which dimensions can create more than one triangle? A. Three angles measuring 75°,45°, and 60°. B. 3 sides measuring 7, 10, 12?
NeTakaya

This is vague.  Any dimensions that make a triangle can make more than one, just draw another right next to it.  What's really being asked is which dimensions can make more than one non-congruent triangle.

<span>A. Three angles measuring 75°,45°, and 60°.

That's three angles, and 75+45+60 = 180, so it's a legit triangle. The angles don't determine the sides, so we have whole family of similar triangles with these dimensions.  TRUE

<span>B. 3 sides measuring 7, 10, 12?

</span>Three sides determine the triangles size and shape uniquely; FALSE

<em>C. Three angles measuring 40</em></span><span><em>°</em></span><em>, 50°</em><span><em>, and 60°? </em>

40+50+60=150, no such triangle exists.  FALSE

<em>D. 3 sides measuring 3,4,and 5</em>

Again, three sides uniquely determine a triangle's size and shape;  FALSE

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

  The solution to the system of equations (x, y) = (2, 4) represents the month in which exports and imports were equal. Both were 4 in February.

Step-by-step explanation:

We're not sure what "system of equations" is being referenced here, since no equations are shown or described.

__

Perhaps your "system of equations" is ...

  f(x) = some equation

  g(x) = some other equation

Then the solution to this system of equation is the pair of values (x, y) that gives ...

  y = f(x) = g(x)

If x represents the month number, then the solution can be read from the table:

  (x, y) = (2, 4)

This is the month in which exports and imports were equal. Both numbers were 4 in February.
