Answer:

AB = √18 , BC=√18 and CA =4

AB²+BC² = CA² and AB=BC

ΔABC isosceles right angled triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given vectors are 7j+ 10k,-i + 6j+6k and - 4i + +9j + 6k

A( 0,7,10), B( -1,6,6) C(-4,9,6)

AB⁻ = OB-OA = -I+6j+6k-(7j+10k) = -I-j-4k

AB = $\sqrt{1+1+16} = \sqrt{18}$

BC = OC-OB = -4i+9j+6k-(-I+6j+6k) = -3i+3j

BC= $\sqrt{9+9} =\sqrt{18}$

CA = OA-OC = 7j+10k - (- 4i + +9j + 6k ) = 4i-2j+4k

CA = $\sqrt{16+4+16} =\sqrt{36} =4$

Since AB²+BC² = CA²

And AB=BC

Therefore it follows that ΔABC is a right angled isosceles triangle

Darya [45]

Let’s say that Keenan give Tisha 8 of the 16 strawberries he had. So Tisha kept 4 of the 8 strawberries she got from Keenan and gave the rest to Suvi. The expression could be written like this: 16-8=8-4=4

An engineer measures the peak current (in microamps) when a solution containing an amount of nickel (in parts per 106 ) is added

dangina [55]

Answer:

B. decrease the intercept, increase the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

A slope indicates the steepness of a line while the intercept points the location where it intercepts its axis. The linear relationship between can be defined using the intercept and the slope. Both concepts are used to estimate the average range of change. Since we are trying to add a peak current value of 0.38 which is lesser than the average, the intercept of the graph would therefore decrease and the slope increase.

A pond had 60 fish. 27 were carp and the rest were tench. 10 fish were added. The probability that a fish picked at random is a

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 2

<u>Explanation:</u>

A pond had 60 fish but 10 were added so now the pond has 70 fish.

The probability of choosing a carp is 1/2 so $\frac{1}{2} (70)$ = 35 are now carp.

There were 27 carp and now there are 35 carp so 8 carp were added.

10 fish were added and 8 of them were carp so 2 of them were tench.

Which lines are parallel if M^4 +M^5? Justify your answer.

Igoryamba

Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal, so angle 1 is the same as angle 4. That means angle 1 = angle 5 as well.

<span>When a line intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are equal. That is, if r and s are parallel, then the angles formed when l intersects r are the same s the angles formed when l intersects s. Angle 1 = Angle 5, Angle 2 = Angle 6, and so forth. Since we know angle 1 = angle 5, so from that you can see that r and s are parallel</span>

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 30% of California residents have adequate earthquake supplies.

a) Ramon variable X denotes the number of the california residents that have adequate earthquake insurance

B) x can take value 1 ,2 ,3 ......

C)The distribution of random variable is geometric distribution with parameter p=0.3

The pmf of geometric distribution is

$P(X=x)=0.3(1-0.3)^{x-1} , x=1,2,3...$
