Answer:

Area = 13.15 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given vertices be represented as follows:

A(2, -1, 1) = 2i - j + k

B(5, 1, 4) = 5i + j + 4k

C(0, 1, 1) = 0i + j + k

D(3, 3, 4) = 3i + 3j + 4k

(i) Let's calculate the vectors of all the sides:

\\AB = B - A =  (5i + j + 4k) - (2i - j + k)

AB = 5i + j + 4k - 2i + j - k                 [Collect like terms]

AB = 3i + 2j + 3k

BC = C - B =  (0i + j + k) - (5i + j + 4k)

BC = 0i + j + k - 5i - j - 4k                 [Collect like terms]

BC = -5i + 0j - 3k

CD = D - C =  (3i + 3j + 4k) - (0i + j + k)

CD = 3i + 3j + 4k - 0i - j - k                [Collect like terms]

CD = 3i + 2j + 3k

DA = A - D =  (2i - j + k) - (3i + 3j + 4k)

DA = 2i - j + k - 3i - 3j - 4k                [Collect like terms]

DA = -i - 4j - 3k

AC = C - A =  (0i + j + k) - (2i - j + k)

AC = 0i + j + k - 2i + j - k                [Collect like terms]

AC = -2i + 2j

BD = D - B = (3i + 3j + 4k) - (5i + j + 4k)

BD = 3i + 3j + 4k - 5i - j - 4k                [Collect like terms]

BD = -2i + 2j

(ii) From the results in (i) above, we can deduce that;

AB = CD This implies that AB || CD  [AB is parallel to CD]

AC = BD This implies that AC || BD  [AC is parallel to BD]

(iii) Therefore, ABDC is a parallelogram since opposite sides (AB and CD) are parallel. Hence, the points are vertices of a parallelogram

<u>Now let's calculate the area</u>

To find the area of the parallelogram, we find the magnitude of the cross product of any two adjacent sides.

In this case, we'll choose AB and AC

Area = |AB X AC|

Where;

AB X AC = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\3&2&3\\-2&2&0\end{array}\right]

<u></u>

AB X AC = i(0 - 6) - j(0 + 6) + k(6 + 4)

AB X AC = - 6i - 6j + 10k

|AB X AC| = \sqrt{(-6)^2 + (-6)^2 + (10)^2}

|AB X AC| = \sqrt{172}

|AB X AC| = 13.15

Area = 13.15 square units.

<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>PS: </u> ACBD is also a parallelogram. The diagram has also been attached to this response.

What is the area of the shaded Region? (Answer to the Nearest Tenth)
RideAnS [48]

Shaded area = Circle area - Rectangle area

Shaded area = 3.14 × (4)^2 - 5 × 6

Shaded area = 3.14 × 16 - 30

Shaded area = 50.24 - 30

Shaded area = 20.24

Shaded area = 20.2

You are standing above the point (5,5)(5,5) on the surface z=15−(2x2+2y2)z=15−(2x2+2y2). (a) in which direction should you walk
Marianna [84]
Since the surface is the top part of a sphere centred on the origin, the directions of steepest descent are any vector originating from the origin (0,0).

At (5,5), the direction would be dictated by the line joining (5,5) and the origin (0,0), i.e. along <5,5> or equivalently along <1,1>.

You can also go through vector calculus to arrive at the same result.

To factor the expression 3x2 – 9x, Caleb found the GCF as shown.
Burka [1]

Answer:

Caleb’s error was :

instead of selecting the least exponent ,Caleb took the highest exponent.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² = 3 • x • x

(in this factorization the exponent of 3 is 1 and the exponent of x is 2)

9x = 3 • 3 • x

(in this factorization the exponent of 3 is 2 and the exponent of x is 1)

• The common factors of 3x² and 9x are 3 and x

In order to determine the GCF ,we have to Compare the exponents of the  common factors then take the numbers which have the least exponent value.

• in the factorization of 3x² the exponent of 3 is 1

and in the factorization of 9x the exponent of 3 is 2

The least exponent is 1 Then we take it.

• in the factorization of 3x² the exponent of x is 2

and in the factorization of 9x the exponent of x is 1

The least exponent is 1 Then we take it.

<u><em>Conclusion</em></u>:

GCF(3x² , 9x) = 3¹ × x¹ = 3x
