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)

A group of 120 people touring Europe includes 45 people who speak French, 42 who speak Spanish, and 50 who speak neither languag
lianna [129]

Answer : P(\text{this group will speak both French and Spanish})=0.141666666

Explanation:

Since we have given that

n(U) = 120, where U denotes universal set ,

n(F) = 45, where F denotes who speak French,

n(S) = 42 , where S denotes who speak Spanish,

n(F∪S)' = 50

n(F∪S) = n(U)-n(F∪S) = 120-50 = 70

Now, we know the formula, i.e.

n(F∪s) = n(F)+n(S)-n(F∩S)

⇒  70    = 45+42-n(F∩S)

⇒ 70  =  87- n(F∩S)

⇒ 70-87 = -n(F∩S)

⇒ -17 = -n( F∩S)

⇒  17 = n(F∩S)

P(\text{this group will speak both French and Spanish})= \frac{17}{120}\\P(\text{this group will speak both French and Spanish})=0.141666666

True or false: for any 2 nonzero integers, the product and quotient have the same sign.
scoray [572]
Yes, it is true.
________________
For example,

take two integers 12 and 4

12 × 4 = 48 : product is positive

12 ÷ 4 = 3: quotient is positive
____________________

If you take -12 and 4

-12 × 4 = -48 : product is negative

-12 ÷ 4 = -3: quotient is negative
