The magnitude of <u>a</u> is 

The unit vector in the direction of a is

Using the relation
, we have

b) Let a=2i - 3j + 4k



Using the relation
, we have

c) Let us first find the sum of <1, 2, -3> and <2, 4, 1> to get:
<1+2, 2+4, -3+1>=<3, 6, -2>
Let a=<3, 6, -2>
The magnitude is


The unit vector in the direction of <u>a</u> is

Using the relation
, we have

Answer: 42 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length be x
Therefore, width = 2/3x
Area = Length × Width
Therefore, x × 2/3x = 1176
2/3x² = 1176
Divide both side by 2/3
x² = 1176 ÷ 2/3
x² = 1176 × 3/2
x² = 1764
x = ✓1764
x = 42
The length is 42 feet
Answer:
For 1,000 bricks, the amount charged will be the same
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of bricks for which they charge the same amount be $x
Thus;
The total cost from the first company will
be;
250 + 0.2(x) = 250 + 0.2x
The second will charge;
400 + 0.05(x) = 400 + 0.05x
Since the amount charged will be equal at x bricks, we need to equate both;
400 + 0.05x = 250 + 0.2x
400-250 = 0.2x-0.05x
150 = 0.15x
x = 150/0.15
x = 1,000
Corrected Question:
The length of a rectangle is (t – 8) units, and its width is (t + 11) units. Which expression can represent the area of the rectangle?
Answer:
t² + 3t - 88
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rectangle of;
length = (t - 8) units
width = (t + 11) units
The area A of a rectangle is given by;
A = length x width ----------------------------------(i)
Substitute the given length and width into equation (i) as follows;
A = (t - 8) x (t + 11) [expand the brackets]
A = t² -8t + 11t - 88
A = t² + 3t - 88
Therefore, the area is
(t² + 3t - 88) square units
