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 function is described by the equation f(x) = 2x + 3. The replacement set for the independent variable is (2,4,6,8). Which set
Anna11 [10]
<h3>Answer:  {7, 11, 15, 19}</h3>

Write the values in the order shown. The curly braces indicate a set.

=================================================

Explanation:

The replacement set for the independent variable is {2,4,6,8}

This means we'll plug x = 2, x = 4, x = 6, and x = 8 into the function one at a time to find the corresponding y = f(x) value.

---------

Plug in x = 2 to find that,

f(x) = 2x+3

f(2) = 2*2+3 ... replace every x with 2

f(2) = 4+3

f(2) = 7

If the input is x = 2, then the output is y = 7. Therefore, the '2' in the domain corresponds to '7' in the range.

If you repeat those steps for x = 4, then you should find that f(4) = 11. Do the same thing for x = 6 and it should lead to y = 15. The last value in the range is y = 19 which corresponds to x = 8.

In short, the domain {2,4,6,8} corresponds to the range {7, 11, 15, 19}

Usually with sets, order doesn't matter. However, in this case, the order is important because we need to match the 2 with the 7, the 4 with the 11, etc.

Which domain restrictions apply to the rational expression? x^2+4x+4 / x^2−4 Select each correct answer x≠−4 x≠−2 x≠0 x≠2 x≠4
Degger [83]
The correct answers are x≠2 and x≠(-2).

Domain restrictions are any points in the domain where the function will not have a value.  This basically means that it's a point where x won't work in the function.

For the numerator, any value will work for x.  We can have a value of 0 in the numerator, or a positive, negative, or decimal number.

However, the denominator cannot equal 0.  This is because a fraction bar represents division, and we cannot divide by 0.  The values that make the denominator 0 can be found by:

x²-4=0

Add 4 to both sides:
x²-4+4 = 0+4
x² = 4

Take the square root of both sides:
√x² = √4

x = 2 or x = -2.
