Answer:

Joe: 3 hrs

Janet: 6hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

joe takes x hours

so in 1 hr he does 1/x of the garden

janet takes 2x hours

so in 1 hr she does 1/(2x) of the garden

In one hour together they do 1/2 of the garden

1/x + 1/(2x) = 1/2

2/(2x) + 1/(2x) = 1/2

3/(2x) = 1/2

Cross multiply

6 = 2x

x = 3

Joe: 3 hrs

Janet: 6hrs

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
