Answer:

A: 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary means 90°. So 60+ x =90. 60+30=90.

Find the angle between u =the square root of 5i-8j and v =the square root of 5i+j.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The angle between vector $\vec{u} = 5\, \vec{i} - 8\, \vec{j}$ and $\vec{v} = 5\, \vec{i} + \, \vec{j}$ is approximately $1.21$ radians, which is equivalent to approximately $69.3^\circ$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between two vectors can be found from the ratio between:

their dot products, and
the product of their lengths.

To be precise, if $\theta$ denotes the angle between $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ (assume that $0^\circ \le \theta < 180^\circ$ or equivalently $0 \le \theta < \pi$ ,) then:

$\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|}$ .

<h3>Dot product of the two vectors</h3>

The first component of $\vec{u}$ is $5$ and the first component of $\vec{v}$ is also

The second component of $\vec{u}$ is $(-8)$ while the second component of $\vec{v}$ is $1$ . The product of these two second components is $(-8) \times 1= (-8)$ .

The dot product of $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ will thus be:

$\begin{aligned} \vec{u} \cdot \vec{v} = 5 \times 5 + (-8) \times1 = 17 \end{aligned}$ .

<h3>Lengths of the two vectors</h3>

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to both $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ :

$\| u \| = \sqrt{5^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{89}$ .
$\| v \| = \sqrt{5^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{26}$ .

<h3>Angle between the two vectors</h3>

Let $\theta$ represent the angle between $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ . Apply the formula $\displaystyle \cos(\theta) = \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|}$ to find the cosine of this angle:

$\begin{aligned} \cos(\theta)&= \frac{\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}}{\| u \| \cdot \| v \|} = \frac{17}{\sqrt{89}\cdot \sqrt{26}}\end{aligned}$ .

Since $\theta$ is the angle between two vectors, its value should be between $0\; \rm radians$ and $\pi \; \rm radians$ ( $0^\circ$ and $180^\circ$ .) That is: $0 \le \theta < \pi$ and $0^\circ \le \theta < 180^\circ$ . Apply the arccosine function (the inverse of the cosine function) to find the value of $\theta$ :

$\displaystyle \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{17}{\sqrt{89}\cdot \sqrt{26}}\right) \approx 1.21 \;\rm radians \approx 69.3^\circ$ .

Mrs. Davis bought 6 pounds of grades for $18. At this rate, how much would 72 ounces of grapes have cost?

saveliy_v [14]

This the problem we are looking at: 6 pounds/18 = 72 ounces /?
To solve this, we have to make the unit of measurement the same. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So, there are 72 ounces in 4.5. To find that you just do 72 divided by 16. This is the new problem we are looking at: 6 pounds/18 = 4.5 pounds/?
To find ?, you must divided 6 divided by 4.5 to find the difference between the two to keep the same rate. That equals 1.33333333.
What is done to the numerator, you must do to the denominator to keep the same rate so now you divide 18 divided by 1.33333333 which equals 13.5

So for 72 ounces (4.5 pounds) it will cost $13.50

I hope this helps:)

Rays PQ and PS are perpendicular to each other.<br><br> What is the measure of LRPS plzzzzz

inna [77]

Answer:

m<RPS = 53 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram shown;

m<QPR + m<RPS = 90

Given that;

m<QPR = x

m<RPS = x+16

Substitute into the formula;

m<QPR + m<RPS = 90

x+x+16 = 90

2x+16 = 90

2x = 90-16

2x = 74

x = 74/2

x = 37degrees

Get m<RPS;

Since m<RPS = x+16

m<RPS = 37 + 16

m<RPS = 53 degrees
