Answer:

The angle between vector \vec{u} = 5\, \vec{i} - 8\, \vec{j} and \vec{v} = 5\, \vec{i} + \, \vec{j} is approximately 1.21 radians, which is equivalent to approximately 69.3^\circ.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between two vectors can be found from the ratio between:

  • their dot products, and
  • the product of their lengths.

To be precise, if \theta denotes the angle between \vec{u} and \vec{v} (assume that 0^\circ \le \theta < 180^\circ or equivalently 0 \le \theta < \pi,) then:

\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|}.

<h3>Dot product of the two vectors</h3>

The first component of \vec{u} is 5 and the first component of \vec{v} is also

The second component of \vec{u} is (-8) while the second component of \vec{v} is 1. The product of these two second components is (-8) \times 1= (-8).

The dot product of \vec{u} and \vec{v} will thus be:

\begin{aligned} \vec{u} \cdot \vec{v} = 5 \times 5 + (-8) \times1 = 17 \end{aligned}.

<h3>Lengths of the two vectors</h3>

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to both \vec{u} and \vec{v}:

  • \| u \| = \sqrt{5^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{89}.
  • \| v \| = \sqrt{5^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{26}.

<h3>Angle between the two vectors</h3>

Let \theta represent the angle between \vec{u} and \vec{v}. Apply the formula\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|} to find the cosine of this angle:

\begin{aligned} \cos(\theta)&= \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|} = \frac{17}{\sqrt{89}\cdot \sqrt{26}}\end{aligned}.

Since \theta is the angle between two vectors, its value should be between 0\; \rm radians and \pi \; \rm radians (0^\circ and 180^\circ.) That is: 0 \le \theta < \pi and 0^\circ \le \theta < 180^\circ. Apply the arccosine function (the inverse of the cosine function) to find the value of \theta:

\displaystyle \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{17}{\sqrt{89}\cdot \sqrt{26}}\right) \approx 1.21 \;\rm radians \approx 69.3^\circ .

Prove that root 7 is irrational by the method of contradiction
Alchen [17]

Let assume that \sqrt7 is a rational number. Therefore it can be expressed as a fraction \dfrac{a}{b} wherea,b\in\mathbb{Z} and \text{gcd}(a,b)=1.

\sqrt7=\dfrac{a}{b}\\\\7=\dfrac{a^2}{b^2}\\\\a^2=7b^2

This means that a^2 is divisible by 7, and therefore also a is divisible by 7.

So, a=7k where k\in\mathbb{Z}

(7k)^2=7b^2\\\\49k^2=7b^2\\\\7k^2=b^2

Analogically to a^2=7b^2 ------- b^2 is divisible by 7 and therefore so is b.

But if both numbers a and b are divisible by 7, then \text{gcd}(a,b)=7 which contradicts our earlier assumption that \text{gcd}(a,b)=1.

Therefore \sqrt7 is an irrational number.

Last week’s and this week’s low temperatures are shown in the table below. Low Temperatures for 5 Days This Week and Last Week L
STatiana [176]

Question:

Temperatures for 5 Days This Week and Last Week

Low Temperatures This Week (Degrees Fahrenheit) 4 10 6 9 6 Low Temperatures Last Week (Degrees Fahrenheit) 13 9 5 8 5 Which measures of center or variability are greater than 5 degrees? Select three choices.

a) the mean of this week’s temperatures

b) the mean of last week’s temperatures

c) the range of this week’s temperatures

d)the mean absolute deviation of this week’s temperatures

e) the mean absolute deviation of last week’s temperatures

Answer:

a) the mean of this week’s temperatures

b) the mean of last week’s temperatures

c) the range of this week’s temperatures

Step-by-step explanation:

I would be verifying the options a, b, and c in my answer above through calculations which are shown below.

We were given the following data:

Low Temperatures This Week (Degrees Fahrenheit)

4, 10, 6, 9, 6

Low Temperatures Last Week (Degrees Fahrenheit)

13, 9, 5, 8, 5

We are to find which measures of center or variability are greater than 5 degrees.

Option a

The mean of this week’s temperatures

(4+ 10+ 6+9+ 6) °F ÷ 5 = 35 °F ÷5 = 7°F

Option a is correct because it measures of center or variability which is 7 °F is higher than 5°F

Option b

The mean of last week’s temperatures

(13+ 9 + 5 + 8 + 5) °F = 40°F ÷ 5 = 8°F

Option b is correct , because its measure of variability which is 8°F is greater than 5°F.

Option c

the range of this week’s temperatures

This week's temperature is given as

(4, 10, 6, 9, 6) °F

Range is defined as the difference between the highest number and the lowest number

Range of this week's temperature = (10 - 4) °F = 6°F

Hence Option c is correct because it measures of center or variability which is 6°F is greater than 5°F

From the above calculations we can accurately confirm that options a, b, and c are correct because the measures of their center or variability is greater than 5°F

A car is moving with an initial velocity of 10 mph accelerates at the rate of a(t)=2.5t mph per second for 5 seconds. How fast i
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The car is going up at a speed of 22.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the speed of a moving car which started moving at an initial velocity for a specific period of time.

To calculate this, we use one of the basic equations of motion;

v = u + at

Where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and t is the time

From the question, we can identify the parameters as follows;

v = ?

u = 10mph

a = 2.5t mph per second for 5 seconds.

Hence a here would be 2.5 * 5 = 12.5

Now, let’s put these values in the equation

v = 10 + 12.5

v = 22.5 mph
