To find out the unit vector in the same direction of other vector, we can calculate the magnitude of its vector and then divide all coordinates by the magnitude, remember that the definition of a unit vector is that its magnitude is 1.

We can calculate the magnitude of a 2D vector as

                                              \Large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}v = \left(x, y\right)\\ \\\|v\| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\end{gathered}$}

I'll call the vector (-4, 7) as v, so the magnitude of v is

                                       \Large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}v = \left(-4, 7\right)\\ \\\|v\| = \sqrt{\left(-4\right)^2 + \left(7\right)^2}\\ \\\|v\| = \sqrt{65}\\ \\\end{gathered}$}

So the unit vector that i'll call as v with an hat is

                                                   \Large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\hat{v} = \frac{v}{\|v\|}\end{gathered}$}

The vector divided by its magnitude, when we divide a vector by a scalar it's the same as divide all the coordinates, so

                                      \Large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\hat{v} = \frac{v}{\|v\|}\\ \\\hat{v} = \frac{v}{\sqrt{65}}\\ \\\hat{v} = \frac{\left(-4, 7\right)}{\sqrt{65}}\\ \\ \boxed{\hat{v} = \left(-\frac{4}{\sqrt{65}}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{65}}\right)}\end{gathered}$}

We can also remove the square root from the denominator, then

                            \Large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\hat{v} = \left(-\frac{4}{\sqrt{65}}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{65}}\right)\\ \\\hat{v} = \left(-\frac{4}{\sqrt{65}}\frac{\sqrt{65}}{\sqrt{65}}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{65}}\frac{\sqrt{65}}{\sqrt{65}}\right)\\ \\\hat{v} = \left(-\frac{4\sqrt{65}}{65}, \frac{7\sqrt{65}}{65}\right)\\ \\\end{gathered}$}

Use what you prefer!

Answer:

Explanation:

Compute the magnitude:

∣∣→a∣∣=√(−10)2+62+(−7)2

∣∣→a∣∣=√100+36+49

∣∣→a∣∣=√185

To obtain the unit vector of →a=(−10,6,−7), we divide each component by √185 but we should rationalize 1√185 to √185185:

ˆa=(−10√185185,6√185185,−7√185185)

Please solve with working thankyou
Lisa [10]

Answer:

m∠y=72°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

Find the measure of angle y

step 1

Find the measure of angle x

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

m∠x=67° -----> by corresponding angles

step 2

Find the measure of angle y

we know that

(m∠x+m∠y)+42°=180° -----> because form a straight line

substitute the measure of angle x

67°+m∠y+42°=180

m∠y+108°=180

m∠y=180°-108°

m∠y=72°

A person can read 48 pages in 5/4 of an hour. How many pages can they read in one hour
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

38.4 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

5/4 = 1.25

Rate =  pages / Time

Time = 1.25 hours

Pages = 48

Rate = 48/1.25

Rate = 38.4

an instructor grades on a curve by assuming that grades on a test are normally distributed. If the average grade is 80 and the s
sweet [91]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to normal distribution curves following a bell curve formula, it is followed that

34% of people will lie between Mean point and one positive standard deviation

34% of people will lie between Mean point and one negative standard deviation

14% of people will lie between Mean point and two positive standard deviation

14% of people will lie between Mean point and two negative standard deviation

2% of people will lie between Mean point and three positive standard deviation

2% of people will lie between Mean point and three negative standard deviation

Now following this principle, we are given that mean score is 80 and standard deviation is 8, hence the interval for grades would be;

Grade A ; Score greater than 96

Grade B : Score greater than 88 and less than or equal to 96

Grade C : Score greater than 80 and less than or equal to 88

Grade D : Score greater than 72 and less than or equal to 80

Grade E : Score greater than 64 and less than or equal to 72

Grade F : Score less than 64
