Answer:

37.5 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

First, work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing(which is 15 in this case) . Next, divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.(15/40=0.375 times 100=37.5) If the answer is a negative number, this is a percentage increase

I think the answer would be 37.5% decrease. The boots are $15 less than before so you set 15 over 40 equals x over 100. Cross multiply 40 by x and 15 by 100 to get 40x=1,500. You then divide 1,500 by 40 to get x=37.5 which is your percent decrease. I hope this helped :)

Find a unit vector that has the same direction as the given vector. 8i ? j + 4k

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

a.Let given vector

a=8i-j+4k

$\mid a\mid=\sqrt{(8)^2+(-1)^2+(4)^2}=9$

By using the formula

Magnitude of a vector= $\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}$

Where x=Coefficient of i

y=Coefficient of j

z=Coefficient of k

Unit vector= $\hat{a}=\frac{a}{\mid a\mid}$

By using the formula

The unit vector= $\hat{a}=\frac{8i-j+4k}{9}=\frac{8}{9}i-\frac{1}{9}j+\frac{4}{9}k$

b.Let vector b=-2i+4j+2k

$\mid b\mid=\sqrt{(-2)^2+4^2+2^2}=2\sqrt 6$

$\hat{b}=\frac{-2i+4j+2k}{2\sqrt 6}$

Length of vector=6

Therefore, the vector in the direction of <-2,4,2> with length 6 is given by = $6\hat{b}=6\times \frac{-2i+4j+2k}{2\sqrt 6}$

The vector in the direction of <-2,4,2> with length 6 is given by = $-\sqrt 6(-i+2j+k)$

c. $\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\mid v\mid=8$

Let v= $v_x i+v_y j$

$v_x=\mid v\mid cos\theta$

$v_x=8cos\frac{\pi}{3}=8\times \frac{1}{2}=4$

$cos\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2}$

$v_y=\mid v\mid sin\theta$

$v_y=8\times sin\frac{\pi}{3}=8\times \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}=4\sqrt 3$

$sin\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

Therefore, the vector v in component form= $4i+4\sqrt 3j$

If you order a large pizza for $15.29 what is the price per inch of pizza if it is 14 inches?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

The pizza is 1.09$ per inch because is 15.29 divided by 14 I got 1.092 but you can’t round up to 1.10 so it stays 1.09

Solve the following system: y = x 3 4x y = 18 (6, 3) (3, 6) (â’3, 6) (3, â’6).

Nastasia [14]

The solution of the given equation is (3,6). The correct option is B.(3,6)

<h3>Given equations,</h3>

$y=x+3.......(1)\\4x+y=18.....(2)$

<h3>How to solve the equations?</h3>

putting the value of y from equation (1) in equation (2) , we get

$4x+x+3=18\\$ $5x=18-3\\5x=15\\x=3$

substitute the value of x=3 in equation (1) we get,

$y=3+3\\y=6$

Hence, the solution of given equation is (3,6).

So, the correct option is B.
