Answer:

slope = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2 - y1)/( x2-x1)

slope = -2-3/-3-2

slope = -5/-5

slope = 1

Find the angle between u =the square root of 5i-8j and v =the square root of 5i+j.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The angle between vector $\vec{u} = 5\, \vec{i} - 8\, \vec{j}$ and $\vec{v} = 5\, \vec{i} + \, \vec{j}$ is approximately $1.21$ radians, which is equivalent to approximately $69.3^\circ$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between two vectors can be found from the ratio between:

their dot products, and
the product of their lengths.

To be precise, if $\theta$ denotes the angle between $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ (assume that $0^\circ \le \theta < 180^\circ$ or equivalently $0 \le \theta < \pi$ ,) then:

$\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|}$ .

<h3>Dot product of the two vectors</h3>

The first component of $\vec{u}$ is $5$ and the first component of $\vec{v}$ is also

The second component of $\vec{u}$ is $(-8)$ while the second component of $\vec{v}$ is $1$ . The product of these two second components is $(-8) \times 1= (-8)$ .

The dot product of $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ will thus be:

$\begin{aligned} \vec{u} \cdot \vec{v} = 5 \times 5 + (-8) \times1 = 17 \end{aligned}$ .

<h3>Lengths of the two vectors</h3>

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to both $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ :

$\| u \| = \sqrt{5^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{89}$ .
$\| v \| = \sqrt{5^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{26}$ .

<h3>Angle between the two vectors</h3>

Let $\theta$ represent the angle between $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ . Apply the formula $\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|}$ to find the cosine of this angle:

$\begin{aligned} \cos(\theta)&= \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|} = \frac{17}{\sqrt{89}\cdot \sqrt{26}}\end{aligned}$ .

Since $\theta$ is the angle between two vectors, its value should be between $0\; \rm radians$ and $\pi \; \rm radians$ ( $0^\circ$ and $180^\circ$ .) That is: $0 \le \theta < \pi$ and $0^\circ \le \theta < 180^\circ$ . Apply the arccosine function (the inverse of the cosine function) to find the value of $\theta$ :

$\displaystyle \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{17}{\sqrt{89}\cdot \sqrt{26}}\right) \approx 1.21 \;\rm radians \approx 69.3^\circ$ .

Which values of P and Q does the following equation have infinitely many solutions?

vladimir1956 [14]

Any value as long as P = Q

For the equation to have infinitely many solutions, we require both sides of the equation to have exactly the same terms.

Zoe says an equilateral triangle is always an acute triangle, but an acute triangle is never an equilateral triangle. Which stat

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

She is correct.

An equilateral triangle is a specific acute triangle. An acute triangle can never be an equilateral triangle because it has 3 unequal angles. Your best choice is likely C, but none of the choices are first rate choices.

Answer: C
