Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the dot product of vectors is
u·v = |u||v|cosθ
where |u| and |v| are the magnitudes (lengths) of the vectors. The formula for that is the same as Pythagorean's Theorem.
which is
which is
I am assuming by looking at the above that you can determine where the numbers under the square root signs came from. It's pretty apparent.
We also need the angle, which of course has its own formula.
where uv has ITS own formula:
uv = (14 * 3) + (9 * 6) which is taking the numbers in the i positions in the first set of parenthesis and adding their product to the product of the numbers in the j positions.
uv = 96.
To get the denominator, multiply the lengths of the vectors together. Then take the inverse cosine of the whole mess:
which returns an angle measure of 30.7. Plugging that all into the dot product formula:
gives you a dot product of 96
Answer:
20 people only buy dvds.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two groups in this problem. One group of people that buys dvds and one that buys blu rays. The total amount of people who buy blu rays is 300, but there's an intersection between the groups and the size of this is 280 people who actually buy both. In order to find out how many people only buy DVDs we first need to figure out how many only buy blu-rays. That is:
people who only buy blu rays = people who buy blu rays - people who buys blu rays and dvds
people who only buy blu rays = 300 - 280 = 20
We can now calculate the amount of people who only buy dvds and that is:
people who only buy dvds =total amount of people - ( people who only buy blu rays + people who buy both)
people who only buy dvds = 320 - (20 + 280) = 320 - 300 = 20 people
