Let vector a = 3i + j - k. Find the vector b in the direction of vector a such that |b| = 5

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serjik [45]2 years ago

Answer:

5i +(5/3)j - (5/3)k

Step-by-step explanation:

Vector b is in the same direction as vector a, so it is a scalar multiple of a.

b = ca for some positive real number c.

b = c(3i + j - k) = 3ci + cj - ck

|b| = sqrt[(3c)^2 + c^2 - c^2] = sqrt(9c^2) = 3c

If |b| = 5, then 3c = 5 and c = 5/3

That makes b = (5/3)(3i + j - k) = 5i +(5/3)j - (5/3)k

Lester's Cafe offers two kinds of espresso: single-shot and double-shot. Yesterday afternoon, the cafe sold 80 espressos in all,
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

64 single-shot espressos

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the cafe sold x single-shot espressos. The total number of espressos sold was 80, and 80% of that total 80 were single-shot. So, we have the equation:

x = 80% * 80

Remember that % just means "out of 100". So, 80% = 80/100:

x = (80/100) * 80 = 6400/100 = 64 single-shot espressos

Hope this helps!

Which statement is an example of the symmetric property of congruence?
BabaBlast [244]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

\text{D) If }EFG \cong HJK, \text{ then } HJK \cong EFG.

Explanation:

The symmetric property states that if two quantities are equal (or congruent), you can "flip" them around the equals sign (or congruence sign).  

This means since EFG is congruent to HJK, then HJK is congruent to EFG.

krok68 [10]
Add all of the sides together which then equal 76. So it would simplify to 14x+20=76. Then 14x=56. And 56/14=4. X=4
