Given u=2i-9j and v=-5i+7j, what is u•v?
The value of the vector will be -53. The correct option is C.
What are vectors?In mathematics and physics, the term "vector" is used informally to describe certain quantities that cannot be described by a single number or by a set of vector space elements.
The dot product, also known as the scalar product, is an algebraic operation that takes two sequences of integers of equal length and outputs a single number.
The given vectors are u=2i-9j and v=-5i+7j, the dot product of the vectors will be calculated as below:-
u.v = ( 2i-9j ).( -5i+7j)
u.v = -10i² + 17 (i.j) -45(i.j) -63j²
Substitute i² = 1, j² = 1 and (i.j) = 0 in the above equation.
u.v = -10 + 63
u.v = 53
Therefore, the value of the vector will be -53. The correct option is C.

what is the measure of an angle if it is 660 less than 6 times its own supplement
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this angle is unknown, let's just represent it with the variable "x". So the supplement angle of "x" is essentially, the value of the angle that we need to add to "x" to get 180. In other words let's just say that the supplement angle is "y". This means that: [tex]x+y=180[/tex]. If we subtract x from both sides we can represent "y" or the supplement angle as: [tex](180-x)[/tex].
Since it's 660 less than 6 times it's own supplement let's first multiply the supplement by 6
[tex]6(180-x) = 1,080-6x[/tex]
Now let's subtract 660 from it, since it's 660 less
[tex](1,080 - 6x) - (660) = 420 - 6x[/tex]
This value should be equal to the angle, which is represented as "x". So let's set it equal to x
[tex]420-6x=x[/tex]
Add 6x to both sides
[tex]420=7x[/tex]
Divide both sides by 7
[tex]60 = x[/tex]
Find the height of the triangle by applying formulas for the area of a triangle and your knowledge about triangles
The height of the triangle is 11.3 in. The correct option is C. 11.3 in
Calculating height of triangleFrom the question, we are to determine the height of the given triangle
The height of the given triangle is x in.
Now, we will determine the value of x
In the diagram, we can observe that the height divides the triangle into two equal halves
Thus,
By the Pythagorean theorem, we can write that
12² = x² + 4²
144 = x² + 16
144 - 16 = x²
∴ x² = 144 - 16
x² = 128
x = √128

7(4)+129The temperature during a day can be modeled by a sinusoid. Answer the following question given that the low temperature of 7 degrees occurs at 5 AM and the high temperature for the day is 45 degrees.
Find the temperature, to the nearest degree, at 9 AM.
The temperature at 9 AM is approximately 10 degrees. Neither of the answers are correct. (Correct choice: E)
What is the temperature of a place at a given time?
Sinusoids are expressions with trascendent functions, to be more specfic, trigonometric functions, whose form is described below:
T(t) = A · sin (2π · t / T + C) + B (1)
Where:
A - Temperature amplitude, in degrees.B - Middle temperature, in degrees.T - Period, in hours.C - Angular phase, in radians.The temperature amplitude and the middle temperature can be found by the following expressions:
A = (t' - t'') / 2 (2)
B = (t' + t'') / 2 (3)
Where t' and t'' are maximum and minimum temperatures, in degrees.
Then, we proceed to find each constant of the sinusoidal model:
A = (45 - 7) / 2
A = 38 / 2
A = 19
B = (45 + 7) / 2
B = 52 / 2
B = 26
We assume a period of 24 hours (T = 24).
If we know that t = 0, T = 24, A = 19, B = 26, T(t) = 7, then the angular phase is:
7 = 19 · sin [(π / 12) · 0 + C] + 26
- 19 = 19 · sin C
sin C = - 1
C = π
T(t) = 19 · sin (π · t / 12 + π) + 26
Then, the temperature at 9 AM is: (t = 4)
T(4) = 19 · sin (π · 4 / 12 + π) + 26
T(4) ≈ 9.545
The temperature at 9 AM is approximately 10 degrees. Neither of the answers are correct. (Correct choice: E)

Charlie is watching hot air balloons. balloon a has risen at a 50° angle. balloon b has risen at a 78° angle. if the distance from balloon a to the ground is 1,000 feet, how far is balloon b from balloon a? round your answer to the nearest whole number.
The distance from Balloon A to Balloon B, d ≈ 1,052 feet
What is distance ?
Distance is defined to be the magnitude or size of displacement between two positions. Note that the distance between two positions is not the same as the distance traveled between them. Distance traveled is the total length of the path traveled between two positions. Distance traveled is not a vector.The given parameters are;
The angle at which Balloon A rises, x° = 50° above horizontal
The angle at which Balloon B rises, y° = 78° above horizontal
The (vertical) distance of Balloon A to the ground, h = 1,000 ft.
The required parameter;
The distance from Balloon A to Balloon B, d
We find the distances of the balloons from Charlie and the angle between the balloon strings, θ, then apply cosine rule
Let,
The height of the balloon strings are equal
The distance of Balloon A to the ground, h₁ = The distance of Balloon B to the ground, h₂ = 1,000 ft.
The distance of the Balloon A from Charlie, l₁, is given as follows;
l₁ × sin(x°) = h₁
∴ l₁ = h₁/(sin(x°))
Which gives;
l₁ = 1,000 ft./(sin(50°)) ≈ 1,305.41 ft.
l₁ ≈ 1,305.41 ft.
For Balloon B, we get;
h₁ = h₂ = 1,000 ft.
∴ l₂ = 1,000 ft./(sin(78°)) ≈ 1,022.34 ft.
l₂ ≈ 1,022.34 ft
The angle between the balloon strings, θ = 180° - (x° + y°)
∴ θ = 180° - (50° + 78°) = 52°
The angle between the balloon strings, θ = 52°
By cosine rule, we have;
d = √(l₁² + l₂² - 2 × l₁ × l₂ × cos(θ))
∴ d = √(1,305.41² + 1,022.34² - 2 × 1,305.41×1,022.34 × cos(52°)) ≈ 1,052 feet
Therefore, the distance from Balloon A to Balloon B, d ≈ 1,052 feet

Solve:
4(2 + a) = 24
A =
Answer:
a=4Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify both sides of the equation:
4 (2 + a) = 24
( 4 )( 2 ) + ( 4 )( a ) = 24 (Distribute)
8 + 4a = 24
4a + 8 = 24
subtract 8 from both sides:
4a + 8 − 8 = 24 − 8
4a = 16
Divide both sides by 4:
4 a/4 = 16/4
a = 4
Multiple bracket out first:
4 x 2 =8
4 x a = 4a
8 +4a = 24
-8
4a. = 16
÷4
a = 4
Hope this helps!
