ANSWER

-  \frac{29}{866}  \sqrt{866} i + \frac{5}{866}  \sqrt{866} j

EXPLANATION

The given vector is v = −14.5i + 2.5 j.

The magnitude of this vector is

|v|  =  \sqrt{ {( - 14.5)}^{2}  +  {2.5}^{2} }

v|  =  \sqrt{ {( - 14.5)}^{2}  +  {2.5}^{2} }

v|  =  \sqrt{ 216.5}  =  \frac{ \sqrt{866} }{2}

The unit vector in the direction of this vector is

=  \frac{v}{ |v| }

= -   \frac{14.5}{ \frac{ \sqrt{866} }{2} } i +    \frac{2.5}{ \frac{ \sqrt{866} }{2} } j

=  -  \frac{29}{866}  \sqrt{866} i + \frac{5}{866}  \sqrt{866} j

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

(1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y=0

4x-2=2

-----------

y=2x-0

y=2x

-------------

4x=2+2=4

4x=4

x=4/4=1

---------------

y=2(1)=2

x=1, y=2.

Assume that the terminal side of thetaθ passes through the point (negative 12 comma 5 )(−12,5) and find the values of trigonomet
zmey [24]

Answer:

\sin \theta = \dfrac{5}{13} and \sec \theta = -\dfrac{13}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the terminal side of thetaθ passes through the point (−12,5).

In ordered pair (-12,5), x-intercept is negative and y-intercept is positive. It means the point lies in 2nd quadrant.

Using Pythagoras theorem:

hypotenuse^2=perpendicular^2+base^2

hypotenuse^2=(5)^2+(12)^2

hypotenuse^2=25+144

hypotenuse^2=169

Taking square root on both sides.

hypotenuse=13

In a right angled triangle

\sin \theta = \dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

\sin \theta = \dfrac{5}{13}

\sec \theta = \dfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}

\sec \theta = \dfrac{13}{12}

In second quadrant only sine and cosecant are positive.

\sin \theta = \dfrac{5}{13} and \sec \theta = -\dfrac{13}{12}
