Orthogonalizing vectors. Suppose that a and b are any n-vectors. Show that we can always find a scalar γ so that (a − γb) ⊥ b, a

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

$\\ \gamma= \frac{a\cdot b}{b\cdot b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question to be solved is the following :

Suppose that a and b are any n-vectors. Show that we can always find a scalar γ so that (a − γb) ⊥ b, and that γ is unique if $b \neq 0$ . Recall that given two vectors a,b a⊥ b if and only if $a\cdot b =0$ where $\cdot$ is the dot product defined in $\mathbb{R}^n$ . Suposse that $b\neq 0$ . We want to find γ such that $(a-\gamma b)\cdot b=0$ . Given that the dot product can be distributed and that it is linear, the following equation is obtained

$(a-\gamma b)\cdot b = 0 = a\cdot b - (\gamma b)\cdot b= a\cdot b - \gamma b\cdot b$

Recall that $a\cdot b, b\cdot b$ are both real numbers, so by solving the value of γ, we get that

$\gamma= \frac{a\cdot b}{b\cdot b}$

By construction, this γ is unique if $b\neq 0$ , since if there was a $\gamma_2$ such that $(a-\gamma_2b)\cdot b = 0$ , then

$\gamma_2 = \frac{a\cdot b}{b\cdot b}= \gamma$

Which expression is equivalent to (8^2)^-4

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

C: $\frac{1}{8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$

Since a = $8^2$ :

$(8^2)^{-n} = \frac{1}{(8^2)^n} =\frac{1}{8^{2n}}$

Since n = 4 :

$(8^2)^{-4} =\frac{1}{8^{2*4}}=\frac{1}{8^{8}}=\frac{1}{8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8}$

Which description best compares the graphs given by the equations:

nexus9112 [7]

x - 5y = -5, -5x - 25y = 25

First, you'll need to get the x variable by itself.

x - 5y = -5
 +5 +5
 x = 0
So x is plotted on the 0.

For the second part of the first equation, you'll be looking for what the y variable represents.

x - 5y = -5
-x -x
 -5y = -5
 5 5
 y = 1
So y is plotted on the 1 on the vertical line above the 0.

For the first part of the second equation, you'll do the same thing as in the first equation.

-5x - 25y = 25
 +25 +25
 -5x = 50
 5 5
x = 10
So the x for this equation is plotted on 10 on the horizontal line.

For the second part of the second equation, you will do the same thing as in the first equation.

-5x - 25y = 25
+5 +5
 -25y = 30
 25 25
y = 1.2
So the y for the second half of the second question is plotted on 1.2 on the vertical line.

<h2>Answer: B) Perpendicular</h2>

Perpendicular means the lines may or may not be of equal length and they will not be perfectly in line with each other.

Parallel means the lines may or may not be of equal length but will be perfectly in line with each other.

Intersecting means the lines may or may not be of equal length but will touch each other.
