Answer:

a. v.v' = v₁v₂ -  v₁v₂ = 0 b.  (20, -21)/29 and  (-20,21)/29

Step-by-step explanation:

a. For two vectors a, b to be orthogonal, their dot product is zero. That is a.b = 0.

Given v = (v₁, v₂) = v₁i + v₂j and v' =  (v₂, -v₁) = v₂i - v₁j, we need to show that v.v' = 0

So, v.v' = (v₁i + v₂j).(v₂i - v₁j)

= v₁i.v₂i + v₁i.(- v₁j) + v₂j.v₂i + v₂j.(- v₁j)

= v₁v₂i.i - v₁v₁i.j + v₂v₂j.i - v₂v₁j.j

i.i = 1, i.j = 0, j.i = 0 and j.j = 1

So, v.v' = v₁v₂i.i - v₁v₁i.j + v₂v₂j.i - v₂v₁j.j  

= v₁v₂ × 1 - v₁v₁ × 0 + v₂v₂ × 0 - v₂v₁ × 1

= v₁v₂ - v₂v₁

=  v₁v₂ -  v₁v₂ = 0

So, v.v' = 0

b. Now a vector orthogonal to the vector v = (21,20) is v' = (20,-21).

So the first unit vector is thus a = v'/║v'║ = (20, -21)/√[20² + (-21)²] = (20, -21)/√[400 + 441] = (20, -21)/√841 = (20, -21)/29.

A unit vector perpendicular to a and parallel to v is b = (-21, -20)/29. Another unit vector perpendicular to b, parallel to a and perpendicular to v is thus a' = (-20,-(-21))/29 = (-20,21)/29

I dont understand the circled question ....please help!
irina1246 [14]

Parallel lines NEVER intersect/meet, this is because they have the same slope and they go in the same direction.

These lines are parallel because they have the same slopes of 3/4 (because they go 3 units up and 4 units to the right. slope = rise/run)

How can I solve a mapping diagram and determine if there a function or not
ch4aika [34]
To check if a relation is a function, given a mapping diagram of the relation, use the following criterion: If each input has only one line connected to it, then the outputs are a function of the inputs.

Find k. ..................​
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

k = -10

Explanation:

f(x) = 4x³ - 3kx² + 44x - 30

The divisor is:

  • (x - 2)

Set divisor to zero:

  • (x - 2) = 0
  • x = 2

Insert this into equation.

⇒ 4(2)³ - 3k(2)² + 44(2) - 30 = 210

⇒ 32 - 12k + 88 - 30 = 210

⇒ -12k + 90 = 210

⇒ -12k = 210 - 90

⇒ -12k = 120

⇒ k = 120/-12

⇒ k = -10

What is the area of the right triangle 5 centimeters high with a base of 9 centimeters
seropon [69]

The area of the given right triangle is: 22.5 cm².

<h3>How to Find the Area of a Right Triangle?</h3>

The area of a right triangle with a base of "b" and an height of "h" can be determined using the following formula:

Area of triangle = 1/2bh = 1/2(base)(height).

Given that the right triangle has the following dimensions:

Height (h) = 5 cm

Base (b) = 9 cm

Area of triangle = 1/2bh = 1/2(5)(9)

Area of triangle = 1/2(45)

Area of triangle = 22.5 cm²

Thus, the area of the right triangle is: 22.5 cm².
