Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
-27/-3
27/3 is 9
each of them have a negative so it stays positive
9
Answer:
12/17
Step-by-step explanation:
total number of marbles that are purple (11) plus the total number of marbles that are not small (15) minus the number of marbles that are both purple and not small (2)
11 + 15 - 2 = 24
over the total number of marbles (34)
24/34 simplifies to 12/17
Using the determinant method, the cross product is

so the answer is B.
Or you can apply the properties of the cross product. By distributivity, we have
(3i + 8j - 6k) x (-4i - 2j - 3k)
= -12(i x i) - 32(j x i) + 24(k x i) - 6(i x j) - 16(j x j) + 12(k x j) - 9(i x k) - 24(j x k) + 18(k x k)
Now recall that
- (i x i) = (j x j) = (k x k) = 0 (the zero vector)
- (i x j) = k
- (j x k) = i
- (k x i) = j
- (a x b) = -(b x a) for any two vectors a and b
Putting these rules together, we get
(3i + 8j - 6k) x (-4i - 2j - 3k)
= -32(-k) + 24j - 6k + 12(-i) - 9(-j) - 24i
= (-12 - 24)i + (24 + 9)j + (32 - 6)k
= -36i + 33j + 26k
