The vector u is <9, 12> which means "start at any point, go to the right 9 units, and then up 12 units". If the starting point is point P = (0,0), then the terminal point is in quadrant I. For vector cu, the terminal point is now in quadrant III because we multiply the coordinates of (9,12) by some negative number c (eg: c = -1 so the terminal point is (-9,-12))

Answer: Choice B) terminal point of vector cu is in quadrant 3

a motor boat traveled 18 miles down a river in 2 hours but took 4.5 hours to return upstream. Find the rate of the motor boat in
tangare [24]

Answer:

  • rate of the boat in still water = 6.5 miles / hour

  • rate of the current = 2.5 miles / hour.

Explanation:

<u>1) Name the two variables:</u>

  • c: rate of the current
  • b: rate of the boat in still water:

With that, the net rates of the boat down the river and upstrean are:

  • down the river: b + c
  • upstream: b - c

<u>2) Now set the equations for the distance as a function of the times and the rates:</u>

  • distance = rate × time

  • downstream: 18 miles = (b + c) × 2 hours
  • upstream: 18 miles = (b - c) × 4.5 hours

<u>3) Set the system of equations:</u>

  • 18 = 2(b + c) ⇒ 9 = b + c . .  . Equation (1)
  • 18 = 4.5 (b - c) ⇒ 4 = b - c . . . Equation (2)

<u>4) Solve the system by </u><u>elimination</u><u>:</u>

  • Add equations (1) and (2): 9 + 4 = 2b
  • Divide both sides by 2: 13/2 = b
  • Simplify: b = 6.5

  • Replace b with 6.5 in equation (2) and solve:

       4 = 6.5 - c ⇒ c = 6.5 - 4 = 2.5

<u>5) Results:</u>

  • b = rate of the boat in still water = 6.5 miles / hour

  • c = rate of the current = 2.5 miles / hour.

A figure in the first quadrant is rotated 180° counterclockwise about the origin. In which quadrant will the rotated figure appe
bagirrra123 [75]
For every point A = (x,y) in your figure, a 180 degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin will result in a point A' = (x', y') where:
x' = x * cos(180) - y * sin(180)
y' = x * sin(180) + y * cos(180)

Happy-fun time fact: This is equivalent to using a rotation matrix from Linear Algebra!

Because a rotation is an isometry, you only have to rotate each vertex of a polygon, and then connect the respective rotated vertices to get the rotated polygon.

You can rotate a closed curve as well, but you must figure out a way to rotate the infinite number of points in the curve. We are able to do this with straight lines above due to the property of isometries, which preserves distances between points.

Determine the total annual FICA tax for an annual salary of $110,330. Use $106,800 for maximum taxable earningsa.$822.14b.$844.0
Agata [3.3K]
<span>The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) requires employers to withhold a certain percentage of an employee's income as tax. The categories are: 6.2% as social security tax 1.45% as Medicare tax 0.9% as Medicare surtax for employees earning more than $200,000 In this case, the percentage of tax applied will be 6.2 + 1.45 = 7.65% The FICA tax will be 110,330 * 0.0765 FICA tax = $8,440.24</span>

Consider the system of linear equations. x + y = 9.0 0.50 x + 0.20 y = 4.05 Find the values of x and y .
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

x=7.5

y=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 9.0

subtract x from both sides

y=9-x

0.50x + 0.20y= 4.05

0.50 x +0.20(9-x)= 4.05

0.50x+1.8-0.2x= 4.05

combine like terms

0.30x+1.8= 4.05

subtract 1.8 from both sides

0.30x=2.25

divide both sides by 0.3

x=7.5

y=9-x

y=9-7.5

y=1.5
