Answer:

-64/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the word "quotient" means the answer to a division problem. Therefore, its a division problem, so you have to work backwards with multiplication. -8 times a number is 5/8, so the other number is going to be negative.

The number is -64/5

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Form this quotient, representing the number by n: n / (-8) = 5/8.

Solve this equation for n by multiplying both sides by 8: -n = 5. Then n = -5

An object is acted upon by the forces F1=<10,6,4> and F2=<0,3,9>. Find the force F3 that must act on the object

murzikaleks [220]

$\vec F_3=\langle x,y,z\rangle$ is a force vector such that

$\vec F_1+\vec F_2+\vec F_3=\vec0$

$\implies\langle10,6,4\rangle+\langle0,3,9\rangle+\langle x,y,z\rangle=\langle0,0,0\rangle$

$\implies\begin{cases}10+x=0\\9+y=0\\13+z=0\end{cases}\implies x=-10,y=-9,z=-13$

So the missing force is

$\boxed{\vec F_3=\langle-10,-9,-13\rangle}$

2) Which two statements are not true?

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

A repeating decimal is not a rational number and The product of two irrational numbers is always rational

Step-by-step explanation:

One statement that is not true is "The product of two irrational numbers is always rational". Take for example the irrational numbers √2 and √3. Their product is √6 which is also irrational.

The other false statement is "A repeating decimal is not a rational number". Take for example the repeating decimal 0.33333..... It can be written as 1/3 which is a rational number.
