F the point T is between the points B and N, then which of the following is true?
valentina_108 [34]
Assuming T, B and N are all on the same line, then we can say

BT + TN = BN

which is the segment addition postulate. 

Subtract TN from both sides to get
BT + TN = BN
BT + TN - TN = BN - TN
BT = BN - TN
BN - TN = BT

Which is what choice C is saying. Therefore the answer is choice C.

If a=i+7j+k and b=i+11j+k, find a unit vector with positive first coordinate orthogonal to both a and
Scilla [17]
Take the cross product, then normalize the result.

\mathbf a\times\mathbf b=\begin{vmatrix}\mathbf i&\mathbf j&\mathbf k\\1&7&1\\1&11&1\end{vmatrix}=-4\,\mathbf i+4\,\mathbf k

This has norm

\|\mathbf a\times\mathbf b\|=\sqrt{(-4)^2+4^2}=4\sqrt2

and so a unit vector orthogonal to both given vectors is

\dfrac{\mathbf a\times\mathbf b}{\|\mathbf a\times\mathbf b\|}=-\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\,\mathbf i+\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\,\mathbf k

An equally correct answer would be the negative of this vector, since \mathbf b\times\mathbf a=-\mathbf a\times\mathbf b.
