Answer:

The vector that describes their hike from their starting position to their final destination is \vec r = 7\,\hat{i}+1\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[mi].

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we assume that orthogonal axes coincide with the north and east. We proceed to translate each sentence from statement into vectorial equations:

(i) <em>A group of hikers walks 3 miles east and then 1 mile north:</em>

\vec r_{A} = 3\,\hat{i}+1\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[mi]

(ii) <em>After taking a break, they then hike 4 miles east to their final destination:</em>

\vec r_{B} = 4\,\hat{i}\,\,\,[mi]

The vector that describes their hike from their starting position to their final destination is the sum of the vectors deducted above. That is:

\vec r = \vec r_{A}+\vec r_{B}  (1)

\vec r = (3\,\hat{i}+1\,\hat{j})+4\,\hat{i}\,\,\,[mi]

\vec r = 7\,\hat{i}+1\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[mi]

The vector that describes their hike from their starting position to their final destination is \vec r = 7\,\hat{i}+1\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[mi].

Bond [772]

Answer:

C. $29.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between using an electric stove and a gas stove everyday is 13 cents - 5 cents= 8 cents.

Saving 8 cents everyday.

Therefore for a year, Bryce will save 8 cents × 365days = 2920 cents

Then 2920 cents = $(2920÷100)

=$29.20

Which are partial products for 68 × 43?
blagie [28]

Partial products are the products obtained during the intermediate stages in order to complete a multiplication process.

Consider 68 \times 43, we have to determine the partial products in this.

Now, 68 \times 43

Expanding this, we get

(60+8) \times (40+3)

= (60\times 40) +(60 \times 3) + (8 \times 40) + (8 \times 3)

= 2400 + 180 + 320 + 24

= 2924

Hence, 8 \times 40=320 and 8 \times 3 = 24 are the required partial products in the product of 68 and 43.

So, Option 3 and 4 are the correct answers.

What is the gcf of 12 78 and 90
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
The greatest common factor of 12, 78, and 90 is 6.

Factors are the numbers, that when multiplied with another number, equal the product.

Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
Factors of 78: 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, and 78.
Factors of 90: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 20, 45, and 90.

The Greatest Common Factor is the highest factor shared among the products. Thus proving 6 is the GCF.

I hope this helps!
