v.w=|v||w|cos theta
OpenStudy (amistre64):
a vetor that is perpendicular to the x axis with a magnitude of 5 is <0,5>
OpenStudy (amistre64):
is this vector in R^3?
myininaya (myininaya):
does v have ai+bj form
or
does v have ai+bj+ck form?
myininaya (myininaya):
2 dimensions or 3?

if w=<1,2>.......
v.w = (1.0)+(5.2) = 10...not 6
OpenStudy (amistre64):
the question makes no sense...
OpenStudy (amistre64):
(1.0)+(2.3) = 6 but then v =<0,3> with a magnitude of 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer is <0,3,4>
OpenStudy (amistre64):
the answer is...... clarify the question lol

i got what amistre got
myininaya (myininaya):
a condradiction
OpenStudy (amistre64):
find the real roots of x^2 +9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but i dont understand how he got the number 4 in the answer
OpenStudy (amistre64):
oh..by the way; when i say real rots i mean complex lol

ok so we are looking at 3 dimensions not 2
OpenStudy (amistre64):
<1,2,0>
<0,3,4>
--------
6...yes
OpenStudy (amistre64):
so....<0,3> is what it looks like when staring at it from the xy plane
OpenStudy (amistre64):
0^2 +3^2 +z^2 = |v|^2
OpenStudy (amistre64):
9+z^2 = 5^2
z^2 = 25 - 6
z = sqrt(16) = 4

-6 means -9 :)
myininaya (myininaya):
thats what I did :)
OpenStudy (amistre64):
lol..its like haveing a parrot :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hey, may you type in the word and send me?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
just copy it off of here and put it in a text editor.. like SWord or notepad
