The resultant of the vectors a = 3i - 2j and b = pi - 2pj is parallel to the vector c = 2i - 3j.
a) Find the value of p
b) Find the resultant of vectors a and b.

Please help me with this question, thank you ​

Answers

Answer 1

Part (a)

The resultant vector is the vector formed by adding the two vectors a and b. So we effectively add the corresponding components.

You can use the parallelogram law as a visual alternative.

Adding a and b leads to

a+b = (3i-2j) + (pi-2pj)

a+b = (3i+pi) + (-2j-2pj)

a+b = (3+p)i - (2+2p)j

Define vector d to be d = a+b so we can use it later below.

Recall that parallel vectors point in the same direction. This means the ratio of their components or coordinates are equal.

We can say the following

(x coord of d)/(x coord of c) = (y coord of d)/(y coord of c)

(3+p)/(2) = (-(2+2p))/(-3)

Let's solve for p

(3+p)/(2) = (-(2+2p))/(-3)

(3+p)/(2) = (2+2p)/3

3(3+p) = 2(2+2p) .... cross multiply

9+3p = 4+4p

4p+4 = 3p+9

4p-3p = 9-4

p = 5

Answer:  p = 5

========================================================

Part (b)

Since p = 5, from part (a), we can determine vector b

b = pi - 2pj

b = 5i - 2*5j

b = 5i - 10j

Then add vectors a and b to get

a+b = (3i-2j) + (5i - 10j)

a+b = (3i+5i) + (-2j - 10j)

a+b = (3+5)i - (2+10)j

a+b = 8i - 12j

Or we can say

a+b = (3+p)i - (2+2p)j  .... from part (a)

a+b = (3+5)i - (2+2*5)j ... plugging in p = 5

a+b = 8i - 12j

Note the ratio of the components of vector d and vector c are such

(x coord of d)/(x coord of c) = (y coord of d)/(y coord of c)

8/2 = -12/(-3)

4 = 4

This helps confirm the answer

You could also graph the vectors c = 2i - 3j and d = 8i - 12j to note the two lines produce the same slope -3/2. We can see that -12/8 = -3/2. Lines of the same slope are parallel lines

Answer:  8i - 12j
Answer 2

a.

The value of p is 5

Since vector a = 3i - 2j and vector b = pi - 2pj, the resultant of vectors a and b is R = a + b

= 3i - 2j + pi - 2pj

= (3 + p)i - 2(1 + p)j

Since R is aparallel to vector c = 2i - 3j, it implies that the cross product of R and c is zero.

The cross product of two vectors a and b is a × b = absinФ where a and b are the magnitudes of a and b and Ф is the angle between them.

So, R × c = [(3 + p)i - 2(1 + p)j] × [2i - 3j]

= (3 + p)i × 2i + (3 + p)i × (-3j) + (-2(1 + p)]j × 2i + (-2(1 + p)]j×(-3j)

= 0 - 3(3 + p)k - 4(1 + p)(-k) + 0

= -3(3 + p)k + 4(1 + p)k

= [-3(3 + p) + 4(1 + p)]k

= [-9 - 3p + 4 + 4p)]k

= [-9 + 4 - 3p + 4p)]k

=  [-5 + p]k

[-5 + p]k = RcsinФ.

Since R and c are parallel, Ф = 0°

So, Rcsin0° = Rc × 0 = 0

So,   [-5 + p]k = 0

-5 + p = 0

p = 5

The value of p is 5

b.

The resultant of vectors a and b is R = 8i - 12j

Since p = 5 and the resultant of vectors a and b is R = (3 + p)i - 2(1 + p)j

Substituting the value of p = 5 into r, we have

R = (3 + p)i - 2(1 + p)j

R = (3 + 5)i - 2(1 + 5)j

R = 8i - 2(6)j

R = 8i - 12j

So, the resultant of vectors a and b is R = 8i - 12j

Answer:

111°

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon given is a heptagon having 7 sides.

Sum of interior angles of a 7-sided polygon = (n - 2)*180

= (7 - 2)*180

= 5*180 = 900°

Therefore:

126° + 158° + 120° + 125° + 121° + 139° + x° = 900°

Solve for x

789° + x° = 900°

Subtract 789 from each side

x = 900° - 789°

x = 111°

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer you have to divide the number of sweets by the number of children. If there are 675 grams and 9 children, then you divide 675/9 to get your answer of 75 sweets.

Each child was given 75 grams of sweets as per linear equation when distributed.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation where the highest degree of the variable is one.

Given, there are a total of 675 grams of sweets.

There are a total of 9 children among which the sweets is to be distributed equally.

Therefore, each children will get sweets of

(675 ÷ 9) grams

= 75 grams.

Multiply the polynomial x (3x-1)(2x+5) also what is the degree of the polynomial

Answers

Answer:

Result after multiplication of polynomial is: [tex]6x^3+13x^2-5x[/tex]

Degree of polynomial = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomials are:

[tex]x(3x-1)(2x+5)[/tex]

In order to multiply the given polynomials we have to work step by step. First of all the polynomials in the bracket will be multiplied and then their result will be multiplied with x.

So, multiplying the polynomials in round brackets first

[tex]=x(3x-1)(2x+5)\\= x\{3x(2x+5)-1(2x+5)\}\\=x\{6x^2+15x-2x-5\}\\=x(6x^2+13x-5)[/tex]

Now multiplying with x

[tex]= 6x^3+13x^2-5x[/tex]

Degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of variable in the polynomial.

In the acquired result, the highest exponent of x is 3 so the degree is 3.

Hence,

Result after multiplication of polynomial is: [tex]6x^3+13x^2-5x[/tex]

Degree of polynomial = 3

When a number n is divided by 10000, the quotient is 1 and the remainder is 2011. The quotient and the remainder when n is divided by 2011 are respectively.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Remainder = 1956[/tex]

[tex]Quotient = 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Dividend = n[/tex]

[tex]Divisor = 10000[/tex]

[tex]Quotient = 1[/tex]

[tex]Remainder = 2011[/tex]

Required

Determine the quotient and remainder when the divisor is 2011

First, we need to determine the value of n.

The relationship between the given parameters is:

[tex]Dividend = Quotient * Divisor + Remainder[/tex]

Substitute values in the above:

[tex]n = 1 * 10000 + 2011[/tex]

[tex]n = 10000 + 2011[/tex]

[tex]n =12011[/tex]

So, we divide 12011 by 2011 and record the quotient and divisor:

[tex]\frac{12011}{2011} =[/tex]

The integer division of 12011 and 2011 is 5.

The remainder is calculated using:

[tex]Dividend = Quotient * Divisor + Remainder[/tex]

Where

[tex]Dividend = 12011[/tex]

[tex]Quotient = 5[/tex]

[tex]Divisor = 2011[/tex]

So, Remainder =:

[tex]Remainder = 12011 - 2011* 5[/tex]

[tex]Remainder = 12011 - 10055[/tex]

[tex]Remainder = 1956[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\frac{12011}{2011} = 5\ Remainder\ 1956[/tex]

During a 60-minute period, a traffic engineer counted 66 trucks and cars that crossed a bridge. The ratio of trucks to cars that travel across the bridge is usually 3:8. The equation 3 8 = t 66 − t 3 8 = t 66 − t can be used to predict the number of trucks, t, the engineer should have counted. How many trucks should the engineer have counted?

Answers

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

t = Number of trucks counted

c = Number of cars

Ratio of trucks to cars = [tex]\dfrac{t}{c}=\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex]

Total number of cars and truck = 66

[tex]t+c=66[/tex]

Divide the left and right side by the number of cars

[tex]\dfrac{t+c}{c}=\dfrac{66}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{c}+1=\dfrac{66}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{8}+1=\dfrac{66}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{11}{8}=\dfrac{66}{c}\\\Rightarrow c=66\times \dfrac{8}{11}\\\Rightarrow c=48[/tex]

Total number of cars is 48

so

[tex]t=66-c\\\Rightarrow t=66-48\\\Rightarrow t=18[/tex]

Total number of trucks counted is 18.

ordering numbers can be seen as arranging the numbers by a certain characteristics. for example, you could order numbers from least to greatest

comparing numbers can be seen as looking into two or more numbers rather than the entire group of numbers. for example, if there were the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, you could say that 2, 4, 6, are even numbers

comparing amounts could be determined by worth but not the numerical values. for example, you could have a gallon of milk and a quart of orange juice but just by the size of the container, a gallon of milk is bigger and holds more than a quart of orange juice
