Answer:

  90°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between the vectors can be found any of several ways. Here, we observe that the segments from the origin to the two points are at right angles to each other. (Their slopes are opposite reciprocals.) Hence the angle between the vectors is 90°.

__

The slope to point 'a' is y/x = 2/1 = 2.

The slope to point 'b' is y/x = (-1/2)/1 = -1/2.

The product of these slopes is (2)(-1/2) = -1, indicating the vectors are perpendicular. The angle between them is 90°.

__

We can also use the trig formula for the tangent of the difference of angles.

  tan(α-β) = (tan(α) -tan(β))/(1 +tan(α)tan(β))

The tangents are the slopes, calculated above, so we have ...

  tan(α -β) = (2 -(-1/2))/(1 +(2)(-1/2)) = (5/2)/0 = <em>undefined</em>

The tangent is <em>undefined</em> for angles that are odd multiples of 90°. The angle between the vectors is 90°.

the first 4 multiples of a number are 13, 26,39 and 52 . Describe how to find the next 4 multiples of the same number.
yaroslaw [1]
<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

65, 78, 91, 104

<h3><u>Explanation</u><u>:</u></h3>

To find out how to get the next 4 multiples of the same number, you would subtract the numbers you already have from each other.

You would take 52 - 39, and you would get 13.

Then you would take 39 - 26 and get also get 13.

See the pattern?

52 - 39 = 13

39 - 26 = 13

26 - 13 = 13

Each of the numbers subtracted from each other equals 13, that means to get the next set of numbers you would add 13 on to the previous number.

52 + 13 = 65

65 + 13 = 78

78 + 13 = 91

91 + 13 = 104

Hope this helps! :)
