Let the amount of the first brand be x, and let the amount of the second brand be y.
0.09x + 0.14y = 240 * 0.13 .................(1)
x + y = 240 ..............(2)
y = 240 - x .......................(3)
Plugging the value for y from equation (3) into equation (1), we get:
0.09x+0.14(240-x)=240\times0.13 ...............(4)
Equation (4) simplifies to:
-0.05x = -2.4
giving the value for the required amount of 9% vinegar as 48 ml and the required amount of 14% vinegar as 240 - 48 = 192 ml.

Determine whether the given vectors are orthogonal, parallel or neither. (a) u=[-3,9,6], v=[4,-12,-8,], (b) u=[1,-1,2] v=[2,-1,1
nevsk [136]

Answer:

a) u v= (-3)*(4) + (9)*(-12)+ (6)*(-8)=-168

Since the dot product is not equal to zero then the two vectors are not orthogonal.

|u|= \sqrt{(-3)^2 +(9)^2 +(6)^2}=\sqrt{126}

|v| =\sqrt{(4)^2 +(-12)^2 +(-8)^2}=\sqrt{224}

cos \theta = \frac{uv}{|u| |v|}

\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{uv}{|u| |v|})

If we replace we got:

\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{-168}{\sqrt{126} \sqrt{224}})=cos^{-1} (-1) = \pi

Since the angle between the two vectors is 180 degrees we can conclude that are parallel

b) u v= (1)*(2) + (-1)*(-1)+ (2)*(1)=5

|u|= \sqrt{(1)^2 +(-1)^2 +(2)^2}=\sqrt{6}

|v| =\sqrt{(2)^2 +(-1)^2 +(1)^2}=\sqrt{6}

cos \theta = \frac{uv}{|u| |v|}

\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{uv}{|u| |v|})

\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{5}{\sqrt{6} \sqrt{6}})=cos^{-1} (\frac{5}{6}) = 33.557

Since the angle between the two vectors is not 0 or 180 degrees we can conclude that are either.

c) u v= (a)*(-b) + (b)*(a)+ (c)*(0)=-ab +ba +0 = -ab+ab =0

Since the dot product is equal to zero then the two vectors are orthogonal.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each case first we need to calculate the dot product of the vectors, and after this if the dot product is not equal to 0 we can calculate the angle between the two vectors in order to see if there are parallel or not.

Part a

u=[-3,9,6], v=[4,-12,-8,]

The dot product on this case is:

u v= (-3)*(4) + (9)*(-12)+ (6)*(-8)=-168

Since the dot product is not equal to zero then the two vectors are not orthogonal.

Now we can calculate the magnitude of each vector like this:

|u|= \sqrt{(-3)^2 +(9)^2 +(6)^2}=\sqrt{126}

|v| =\sqrt{(4)^2 +(-12)^2 +(-8)^2}=\sqrt{224}

And finally we can calculate the angle between the vectors like this:

cos \theta = \frac{uv}{|u| |v|}

And the angle is given by:

\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{uv}{|u| |v|})

If we replace we got:

\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{-168}{\sqrt{126} \sqrt{224}})=cos^{-1} (-1) = \pi

Since the angle between the two vectors is 180 degrees we can conclude that are parallel

Part b

u=[1,-1,2] v=[2,-1,1]

The dot product on this case is:

u v= (1)*(2) + (-1)*(-1)+ (2)*(1)=5

Since the dot product is not equal to zero then the two vectors are not orthogonal.

Now we can calculate the magnitude of each vector like this:

|u|= \sqrt{(1)^2 +(-1)^2 +(2)^2}=\sqrt{6}

|v| =\sqrt{(2)^2 +(-1)^2 +(1)^2}=\sqrt{6}

And finally we can calculate the angle between the vectors like this:

cos \theta = \frac{uv}{|u| |v|}

And the angle is given by:

\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{uv}{|u| |v|})

If we replace we got:

\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{5}{\sqrt{6} \sqrt{6}})=cos^{-1} (\frac{5}{6}) = 33.557

Since the angle between the two vectors is not 0 or 180 degrees we can conclude that are either.

Part c

u=[a,b,c] v=[-b,a,0]

The dot product on this case is:

u v= (a)*(-b) + (b)*(a)+ (c)*(0)=-ab +ba +0 = -ab+ab =0

Since the dot product is equal to zero then the two vectors are orthogonal.
