Answer:

Q is not the midpoint of PR

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

If Q is the midpoint of PR

then

PQ=QR

substitute the given values and solve for x

15x-2=5x+3\\15x-5x=3+2\\10x=5\\x=0.5

Remember that

PR=5\ ft ----> given problem

PR=PQ+QR\\PR=(15x-2)+(5x+3)

substitute the value of x

PR=(15(0.5)-2)+(5(0.5)+3)

PR=(5.5)+(5.5)

PR=11\ ft

Compare with the given value of PR

5\ ft\neq 11\ ft

therefore

Q is not the midpoint of PR

<span>We know that for two vectors u and v we have that the cross product is equal to : (u2v3 - u3v2) i + (u3v1 - u1v3) j + (u1v2 - u2v1) k Then we have that m x n : ( (2 *-4) - (-5 * -2) ) i + ( (-5*6) - (3 *-4) )j + ( ( 3*-2) - (2*6))k which becomes ( -8 - 10) i + ( -30 + 12) j + ( -6 - 12) k Thus the vector product of m and n is -18 i - 18j -18k</span>
