1. Recall that all vectors have magnitude (length) and direction. Magnitude is a scalar, or a number that does not indicate direction. A. Use north, south, east, or west to give the direction of a = <4, 0> and b = <0, –3>. a b B. The expressions ||a|| and ||b|| represent the magnitudes of a and b, respectively. Find ||a|| and ||b||. ||a|| = ||b|| = Select Show ruler to open the Gizmo rulers. Attach the "donuts" to the initial and terminal points of the vectors to check your answers. C. The magnitude of a vector is always positive. Why do you think this is true?

I need help answering this quadratic word problem, thanks in advance At the national spitting competition, contestants were lined up on top of a tall building. The winning projectile was projected off the top of the building in a trajectory defined by the following equation where the height (h) is in metres above the ground and time (t) is in seconds since the projectile was launched. h=-4.9t^2+29.4t+37.9 Show all work when answering the following (no guess and check allowed): a) If the mouth of the person who launched the winning projectile was 1.6 metres above the roof of the building, how tall was the building? b) To the nearest tenth of a second, how long was the projectile in the air before it hit the ground? (Nearest tenth of a second = one decimal place) c) To the nearest tenth of a second, determine how long the projectile was at or above 80m in height.

between points in a plane do not change when a coordinate system is rotated In other words, the magnitude of a vector Is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system. Suppose a coordinate system S is rotated about its origin by angle to become a new coordinate system S’, as shown in the following figure.

(a) Show that, during the transformation of rotation, the coordinates in S are expressed in terms of the coordinates in S by the following relations: {x=xcos+ysiny=xsin+ycos (b) Show that the distance of point Pto the origin is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system. Here, you have to show that x2+y2=x2+y2. (c) Show that the distance between points Pand Q is invariant under rotations of the coordinate system. Here, you have to show that ( xP =xQ )2+( yP yQ )2=( xP =xQ )2+( yP yQ )2 .
