Answer:

1.3363

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic idea here is to find an expression for the direction vector between a point on L1 and a point on L2. Then, solve for the points on L1 and L2 that make that vector perpendicular to both lines L1 and L2. (The dot product of direction vectors is zero.) The distance between the points found is the shortest distance between the lines.

Let P be a point on L1. Then the parametric equation for P is ...

P = (6t, 0, -t) . . . . . . origin + t × direction vector

Let Q be a point on L2. The direction vector for L2 is given by the difference between the given points. It is (4-1, 1-(-1), 6-1) = (3, 2, 5). Then the parametric equation for Q is ...

Q = (3s+1, 2s-1, 5s+1) . . . . (1, -1, 1) + s × direction vector

The direction vector for PQ is ...

Q -P = (3s+1-6t, 2s-1, 5s+1+t)

The dot product of this and the two lines' direction vectors will be zero:

(3s+1-6t, 2s-1, 5s+1+t)·(6, 0, -1) = 0 = 13s -37t +5 . . . perpendicular to L1

(3s+1-6t, 2s-1, 5s+1+t)·(3, 2, 5) = 0 = 38s -13t +6 . . . perpendicular to L2

The solution to these equations is ...

s = -157/1237

t = 112/1237

Then (Q-P) becomes (94, -1551, 564)/1237, and its length is ...

|PQ| = √(94² +1551² +564²)/1237 ≈ 1.3363

The distance between the two lines is about 1.3363 units.

We wish to construct a 90% confidence interval on the mean of a population known to be normally distributed based on a sample of

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Margin of error = 0.773

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question.

Sample size, n = 20

Sample mean = 8

Sample standard deviation = 2

90% Confidence interval

$\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 19 and}~\alpha_{0.10} = \pm 1.729$

Margin of error:

$t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$1.729(\frac{2}{\sqrt{20}} ) = 0.773$

Kenny buys 4 1liter bottles of water how many millileters of water does Kenny buy

kenny6666 [7]

Kenny bought 4 1liter bottles of water

1liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters (milli means 1,000)

What that means is that in each bottle of water that he purchased, he has 1,000 milliliters

He has 4 bottles, so we simply take

4(bottles) x 1,000(amount of water in each bottle)

4 x 1,000 = 4,000 milliliters

The sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 145 what is the third number in this sequence

lawyer [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The third in sequence will be the middle one, the average value of all the numbers in the sequence. That average is the sum (145) divided by the number of numbers (5).

third number = 145/5 = 29

A new car worth $20,000 loses 20% of its value every year. Is the value of the car represented by a linear or exponential functi

madreJ [45]

Exponential.

One way to think about this, is to ask how much you will lose each year. The first year you're losing 20% of $20,000 ($4,000). The second year you're losing 20% of 16,000 ($3,200). The dollar value your car loses each year diminishes exponentially, so it is not a linear but an exponential function.
