Answer:

\|a\| = 5\sqrt{13}.

\|b\| = 3\sqrt{29}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m,n, and k be scalars such that:

\displaystyle a = m\, (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j}) = m\, \begin{bmatrix}2 \\ 3\end{bmatrix}.

\displaystyle b = n\, (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j}) = n\, \begin{bmatrix}2 \\ 5\end{bmatrix}.

\displaystyle (a + b) = k\, (8\, \vec{i} + 15\, \vec{j}) = k\, \begin{bmatrix}8 \\ 15\end{bmatrix}.

The question states that \| a + b \| = 34. In other words:

k\, \sqrt{8^{2} + 15^{2}} = 34.

k^{2} \, (8^{2} + 15^{2}) = 34^{2}.

289\, k^{2} = 34^{2}.

Make use of the fact that 289 = 17^{2} whereas 34 = 2 \times 17.

\begin{aligned}17^{2}\, k^{2} &= 34^{2}\\ &= (2 \times 17)^{2} \\ &= 2^{2} \times 17^{2} \end{aligned}.

k^{2} = 2^{2}.

The question also states that the scalar multiple here is positive. Hence, k = 2.

Therefore:

\begin{aligned} (a + b) &= k\, (8\, \vec{i} + 15\, \vec{j}) \\ &= 2\, (8\, \vec{i} + 15\, \vec{j}) \\ &= 16\, \vec{i} + 30\, \vec{j}\\ &= \begin{bmatrix}16 \\ 30 \end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}.

(a + b) could also be expressed in terms of m and n:

\begin{aligned} a + b &= m\, (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j}) + n\, (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j}) \\ &= (2\, m + 2\, n) \, \vec{i} + (3\, m + 5\, n) \, \vec{j} \end{aligned}.

\begin{aligned} a + b &= m\, \begin{bmatrix}2\\ 3 \end{bmatrix} + n\, \begin{bmatrix} 2\\ 5 \end{bmatrix} \\ &= \begin{bmatrix}2\, m + 2\, n \\ 3\, m + 5\, n\end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}.

Equate the two expressions and solve for m and n:

\begin{cases}2\, m + 2\, n = 16 \\ 3\, m + 5\, n = 30\end{cases}.

\begin{cases}m = 5 \\ n = 3\end{cases}.

Hence:

\begin{aligned} \| a \| &= \| m\, (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j})\| \\ &= m\, \| (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j}) \| \\ &= 5\, \sqrt{2^{2} + 3^{2}} = 5 \sqrt{13}\end{aligned}.

\begin{aligned} \| b \| &= \| n\, (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j})\| \\ &= n\, \| (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j}) \| \\ &= 3\, \sqrt{2^{2} + 5^{2}} = 3 \sqrt{29}\end{aligned}.

Which equation represents a line that passed through (2,-1:2) and has a sloe of 3
ella [17]

The equation that represents a line that passed through (2,-1:2) and has a slope of 3 is y = 3x - 18

<h3>How to determine the equation of the line?</h3>

The points are given as:

(x1, y1) = (2, -12)

The slope is given as:

m = 3

The equation of the line is calculated using:

y = m(x - x1) + y1

So, we have:

y = 3(x - 2) - 12

Open the bracket

y = 3x - 6 - 12

Evaluate

y = 3x - 18

Hence, the equation of the line is y = 3x - 18

A gumball has a diameter that is 66 mm. The diameter of the gumball's spherical hollow core is 58 mm. What is the volume of the
grigory [225]

Answer:

Volume of gumball without including its hollow core is 48347.6 cubic mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diameter of Gumball = 66 mm

Since radius is half of diameter.

Radius of gumball = \frac{diameter}{2}=\frac{66}{2} =33 \ mm

Now We will first find the Volume of Gumball.

To find the Volume of Gumball we will use volume of sphere which is given as;

Volume of Sphere = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Now Volume of Gumball = \frac{4}{3}\times3.14 \times (33)^3 = 150456.24 \ mm^3

Also Given

Diameter of gumball's spherical hollow core = 58 mm

Since radius is half of diameter.

Radius of gumball's spherical hollow core = \frac{diameter}{2}=\frac{58}{2} =29 \ mm

Now We will find the Volume of gumball's spherical hollow core.

Volume of Sphere = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

So Volume of gumball's spherical hollow core = \frac{4}{3}\times3.14 \times (29)^3 = 102108.61 \ mm^3

Now We need to find volume of the gumball without including its hollow core.

So, To find volume of the gumball without including its hollow core we would Subtract Volume of gumball spherical hollow core from Volume of Gumball.

volume of the gumball without including its hollow core = Volume of Gumball - Volume of gumball's spherical hollow core = 150456.24\ mm^3 - 102108.61\ mm^3 = 48347.63\ mm^3

Rounding to nearest tenth we get;

volume of the gumball without including its hollow core = 48347.6\ mm^3

Hence Volume of gumball without including its hollow core is 48347.6 cubic mm.

Answer:

B: 1 × 10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

B is correct and C is not becasue you have to have the number multiplied by 10 to a power because then you wouldn't know what number to use as the base. I hope this helps. :)
