Answer:

The angle between (2,2,4) and (2,-1,1) is 60º.

Step-by-step explanation:

From linear algebra, we can determine the angle between both vectors by definition of dot point:

\cos \theta = \frac{\vec u\bullet \vec v}{\|\vec u\|\cdot \| \vec v\|} (1)

Where:

\vec u, \vec v - Vectors.

\|\vec u\|, \|\vec v\| - Norms of vectors.

\theta - Angle between vectors, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that \vec u = (2,2,4) and \vec v = (2,-1,1), then angle between vectors is:

\|\vec u\| = \sqrt{\vec u\bullet \vec u} (2)

\|\vec u\| = \sqrt{2^{2}+2^{2}+4^{2}}

\|\vec u\| \approx 4.899

\|\vec v\| = \sqrt{\vec v\bullet \vec v} (3)

\|\vec v\| = \sqrt{2^{2}+(-1)^{2}+1^{2}}

\|\vec v\| \approx 2.450

\vec u \bullet \vec v = (2,2,4)\bullet (2,-1,1)

\vec u \bullet \vec v = 4-2+4

\vec u \bullet \vec v = 6

\cos \theta = \frac{6}{(4.899)\cdot (2.450)}

\cos \theta = 0.5

\theta = 60^{\circ}

The angle between (2,2,4) and (2,-1,1) is 60º.

I’m crying helppppppppppppppppppppppp what is 5/10 times 2/4 show step by step and simplified
mamaluj [8]
Simplify both to 1/2 because both numerators are half of their denominators. Then multiply straight across to 1/4.

Theresa buys 62 stickers. She gives 6 stickers to her little sister. Theresa then splits the remaining stickers evenly across 8
Alja [10]

Answer:

7 stickers on each page.

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with 62 stickers.

Then we give 6 to the little sister, so we subtract 6 from 62.

62-6=56

Then we divide the remaining 56 stickers evenly across 8 pages.

56/8=7

7 stickers on each page.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

when rounding anything that is or is greater than 5 you round up 1.

4,->7<-08.06

so rounding up 1, 4 would turn into 5.
