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}.

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation: Consider a triangle with points A, B and C. You must create a perpendicular bisector of AB and then a perpendicular bisector of BC that crosses each other. Then you must label the center of that point D, and then using a compass tool, create a circle around the triangle.

Roger has $2, $1 and 50 cent pieces in the ratio of 5:4:2. If 30 of roger’s coins are 50 cent pieces, how many $2 coins and $1 c
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the ratio is 5:4:2

there are 11 parts to this ratio (5+4+2)

the 5 is for the $2, the 4 is for the $1 and the 2 is for the 50 cents

he has 30 of the 50 cents

so you divide 30 by 2 to get one part of this ratio

1 part of this ratio is equal to 15 coins

multiply 15 by 5 to get the number of $2 coins: 75

multiply 15 by 4 to get the number of $1 coins: 60

add all of those parts together

30+60+75 = 165

If he uses a $1 coin to buy the sundae he will have 75 $2 coins and 59 $1 coins left

however, if he uses two 50 cents coins to buy the sundae he will have 75 $2 coins and 60 $1 coins left

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The scale reading that the chef need to see for this spice when preparing the specialty for 43 people is 0.86.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, you need to multiply the amount that the chef uses per serving for the number of servings. The statement indicates that the chef uses ​one- fiftieth of an ounce of a spice per serving and this is represented as 1/50 and you have to multiply this for 43 that is the number of people.

You can find 1/50 as a decimal dividing 1 by 50:

1/50=0.02

Now, you can multiply this value for 43:

0.02=43=0.86

According to this, the answer is that the scale reading that the chef need to see for this spice when preparing the specialty for 43 people is 0.86.
