Part A: Suppose Jackson hiked due north on the first trail, and due east on the second trail. Show that the magnitude of the res
ultant vector for the entire hike is . Part B: Describe the meaning of the magnitude you found in Part A in terms of the hike. Part C: Could Jackson have hiked in a different direction on the second trail without affecting the magnitude of the resultant vector? Explain.
1 answer:
Answer:
A) √((distance travelled due north)²+(distance travelled due east)²)
B) distance from starting point
C) Yes due west
Step-by-step explanation:
A) According to pythagoras theorem
resultant vector= √((distance travelled due north)²+(distance travelled due east)²)
Also see 1st attachment
B) The resultant vector tells the distance from the starting point
C) The same amount of distance travelled in opposite direction that is westwards will give same magnitude of resutlant vector.

(-5, 0) ∪ (5, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find a graph convenient for this purpose. (See below)
__
When you want to find where a function is increasing or decreasing, you want to look at the sign of the derivative. Here, the derivative is ...
f'(x) = 4x^3 -100x = 4x(x^2 -25) = 4x(x +5)(x -5)
This has zeros at x=-5, x=0, and x=5. The sign of the derivative will be positive when 0 or 2 factors have negative signs. The signs change at the zeros. So, the intervals of f' having a positive sign are (-5, 0) and (5, ∞).
Answer:
The fraction of smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry is
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Of the smoothies sold yesterday at Marlins smoothie shop, 5/6 were banana and another 1/12 were strawberry.
Now, to find the fraction of the smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry.
Fraction of smoothie were of banana =
Fraction of smoothie were of strawberry =
Now, to get the fraction smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry by adding both the fractions of banana and strawberry:
Therefore, the fraction of smoothies sold were either banana or strawberry is
