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.

Describe whether the equation y-3x=7 is a function
Gala2k [10]

y - 3x = 7

can be written as

y = 3x + 7

For every value of x there is a unique value of y.  For example when x = 0 y = 3(0) + 7 = 7

Yes it is a function.

In particular it is a one-to-one function.

A trough has ends shaped like isosceles triangles, with width 2 m and height 5 m, and the trough is 18 m long. Water is being pu
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

   5/9 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth of the water is 2/5 of the depth of the trough, so the width of the surface will be 2/5 of the width of the trough:

  2/5 × 2 m = 4/5 m

Then the surface area of the water is ...

  A = LW = (18 m)(4/5 m) = 14.4 m²

The rate of change of height multiplied by the area gives the rate of change of volume:

  8 m³/min = (14.4 m²)(h')

  h' = (8 m³/min)/(14.4 m²) = 5/9 m/min

Help please! 10 points!
IgorC [24]

Answer:

21.6 or 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles have same angles. This means that they are proportion.

50/27 = 40/x

when you cross multiply to solve x, 50x = 1080

so x = 21.6

If you have to nearest whole number, it will be 22
