Answer:

The family of possible values for p are:

(-\infty, -4) \,\cup \,(7, +\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

By Linear Algebra, we can calculate the angle by definition of dot product:

\cos \theta = \frac{\vec a\,\bullet\,\vec b}{\|\vec a\|\cdot \|\vec b\|} (1)

Where:

\theta - Angle between vectors, in sexagesimal degrees.

\|\vec a\|, \|\vec b \| - Norms of vectors \vec {a} and \vec{b}

If \theta is acute, then the cosine function is bounded between 0 a 1 and if we know that \vec {a} = (p, 3, -7) and \vec {b} = (p, -p, 4), then the possible values for p are:

Minimum (\cos \theta = 0)

\frac{p^{2}-3\cdot p -28}{\sqrt{p^{2}+58}\cdot \sqrt{2\cdot p^{2}+16}} > 0

Maximum (\cos \theta = 1)

\frac{p^{2}-3\cdot p -28}{\sqrt{p^{2}+58}\cdot \sqrt{2\cdot p^{2}+16}} < 1

With the help of a graphing tool we get the family of possible values for p are:

(-\infty, -4) \,\cup \,(7, +\infty)

Which of the following are equations for the line shown below? Check all that apply.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: D. y+4=(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation: Once you subtract 4 from both sides, in order to solve for y (as the equation needs to be in the slope-intercept form, otherwise known as y=mx+b), you end up with y=x-2, which is the right answer. It is the correct answer because the y-intecept shown in the equation matches what is on the graph, in addition to the fact that the slope is just x.
