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

Answer:

5 feet + 12 inches = 2 yards

48 inches = 1 foot + 1 yard

5 feet = 3 feet + 24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To help solve these equations, you must know how to convert feet to inches, inches to yards, etc. Use the information below:

1 feet = 12 inches

3 feet = 1 yard

To solve 5 feet + 12 inches = blank yard(s), convert 5 feet & 12 inches to yards. Since 5 feet would be complicated to convert, let's convert 12 inches to feet first.

12 inches = 1 feet

Instead of 12 inches, we can substitute it as 5 feet + 1 feet = blank yard(s). That would be 6 feet = ? yards. 3 feet = 1 yard, which tells us we must divide both sides by 3. Thus, 5 feet + 12 inches = 2 yards.

Blank inches = 1 foot + 1 yard

To find the # of inches in a yard, you must first know that 3 feet = 1 yard. If there are 12 inches in a foot, we must multiply 3 by 12, getting us 36. You add 12 inches (1 foot), getting us 48 inches in total. Thus 48 inches = 1 foot + 1 yard.

Blank feet = 3 feet + 24 inches

Since 3 feet is already feet, we do not need to convert it. If 12 inches is 1 foot, we must divide 24 inches by 12. So, there is 2 feet in 24 inches. 2 + 3 is 5. Thus, 5 feet = 3 feet +24 inches.
