Refer to the figure below.

Define unit vectors as follows:
\hat{i} in the eastern direction
\hat{j} in the northern direction

Given:
Vectors a and b point due west and south respectively. Therefore
\vec{a} = -69 \ht{i} \\
\vec{b} = -69\hat{j}

Part (a)
\vec{a}+\vec{b}=-69\hat{i}-69\hat{j}=-69(\hat{i}+\hat{j})
The magnitude is
|-69(√[1² + 1²])| = 69√2 = 97.58.
The direction relative to west is
θ = tan⁻¹ (b/a) = tan⁻¹ 1 = 45°  south of west

Answer:
The magnitude of (a + b) is 97.58 or 69√2.
The direction is 45° south of west.

Part (b).
\vec{a} - \vec{b} = -69\hat{i}+69\hat{j}=-69(\hat{i} -\hat{j})
The magnitude is
|69(√(1+1)| = 69√2 = 97.58.
The direction relative to west is
tan⁻¹ (b/a) = 45° north of west.

Answer:
The magnitude of (a-b) is 97.58 or 69√2.
The direction is 45° north of west.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y =3x-2 and that passes through the point(-9,5)
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular, the signs of the slope must be opposite and the slopes are reciprocals.

(basically if one is say -2/3, the other is 3/2. just flip it upside down)

So this slope is 3, so the new slope should be -1/3

The equation is now y = -1/3x + b

To find b, substitute (-9,5) in the equation

y = -1/3x + b

5 = -1/3(9) + b

5 = -3 + b

8 = b

So the equation is y = -1/3x + b

Combine like terms fir the following expression: -3x+14-11+11x
babymother [125]

Answer:

8x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression -3x + 14 - 11 + 11x, we have two pairs of like terms that can be combined together:

-3x, 11x

14, -11

If we rewrite this expression with the like terms together, it would look like this:

-3x+11x + 14-11

To make the addition of -3x and 11x easier, we could switch their places in the expression to make it look like this:

11x-3x + 14-11

(Note: Even though we are switching the terms' places, the -3x still keeps its negative sign when you move it around.

11x-3x is 8x and 14-11 is 3.

Therefore, the expression -3x + 14 - 11 + 11x can be simplified by combining like terms into 8x + 3.
