Given the vector overrightarrow{a}=(1,0,-1), among the following vectors, the one that forms a 60^{circ} angle with overrightarrow{a} is (  )A: (-1,1,0)B: (1,-1,0)C: (0,-1,1)D: (-1,0,1)

💡Alright, so I have this problem where I'm given a vector a, which is (1, 0, -1), and I need to figure out which of the given vectors forms a 60-degree angle with vector a. The options are A: (-1,1,0), B: (1,-1,0), C: (0,-1,1), and D: (-1,0,1). First, I remember that the angle between two vectors can be found using the dot product formula. The formula is:cosθ = (a · b) / (|a| |b|)Where θ is the angle between vectors a and b, a · b is the dot product of a and b, and |a| and |b| are the magnitudes of vectors a and b, respectively.So, my goal is to compute the dot product of vector a with each of the given vectors, then divide that by the product of their magnitudes, and see which one gives me cosθ equal to cos60°, which is 0.5.Let me start by computing the magnitude of vector a. Vector a is (1, 0, -1), so its magnitude |a| is sqrt(1² + 0² + (-1)²) = sqrt(1 + 0 + 1) = sqrt(2). So, |a| = sqrt(2).Now, I'll go through each option one by one.**Option A: (-1, 1, 0)**First, compute the dot product a · b:a · b = (1)(-1) + (0)(1) + (-1)(0) = -1 + 0 + 0 = -1Next, compute the magnitude of vector b:|b| = sqrt((-1)² + 1² + 0²) = sqrt(1 + 1 + 0) = sqrt(2)Now, plug these into the formula:cosθ = (-1) / (sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)) = -1 / 2So, cosθ = -0.5, which means θ is 120 degrees, not 60. So, option A is not the answer.**Option B: (1, -1, 0)**Compute the dot product a · b:a · b = (1)(1) + (0)(-1) + (-1)(0) = 1 + 0 + 0 = 1Compute the magnitude of vector b:|b| = sqrt(1² + (-1)² + 0²) = sqrt(1 + 1 + 0) = sqrt(2)Now, plug into the formula:cosθ = 1 / (sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)) = 1 / 2So, cosθ = 0.5, which means θ is 60 degrees. This matches the condition given in the problem. So, option B seems to be the correct answer.But just to be thorough, I'll check the other options too.**Option C: (0, -1, 1)**Compute the dot product a · b:a · b = (1)(0) + (0)(-1) + (-1)(1) = 0 + 0 -1 = -1Compute the magnitude of vector b:|b| = sqrt(0² + (-1)² + 1²) = sqrt(0 + 1 + 1) = sqrt(2)Plug into the formula:cosθ = (-1) / (sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)) = -1 / 2Again, cosθ = -0.5, so θ is 120 degrees. Not the answer.**Option D: (-1, 0, 1)**Compute the dot product a · b:a · b = (1)(-1) + (0)(0) + (-1)(1) = -1 + 0 -1 = -2Compute the magnitude of vector b:|b| = sqrt((-1)² + 0² + 1²) = sqrt(1 + 0 + 1) = sqrt(2)Plug into the formula:cosθ = (-2) / (sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)) = -2 / 2 = -1So, cosθ = -1, which means θ is 180 degrees. Definitely not 60 degrees.So, after checking all options, only option B gives me a cosine of 0.5, which corresponds to a 60-degree angle. Therefore, the correct answer should be option B.

Given vectors overset{→}{a} =(cos 5^{circ},sin 5^{circ}) and overset{→}{b} =(cos 65^{circ},sin 65^{circ}), find the value of | overset{→}{a} +2 overset{→}{b} |.

💡Okay, so I have this problem where I need to find the magnitude of the vector a plus twice the vector b. The vectors are given as a = (cos 5°, sin 5°) and b = (cos 65°, sin 65°). Hmm, okay. I remember that to find the magnitude of a vector, you use the formula |v| = sqrt(v_x² + v_y²). So, I guess I need to first find the components of the vector a + 2b and then calculate its magnitude.Let me break it down step by step. First, I need to compute 2b. Since b is (cos 65°, sin 65°), multiplying by 2 would just scale both components by 2. So, 2b would be (2cos 65°, 2sin 65°). Got that.Next, I need to add vector a to this. Vector a is (cos 5°, sin 5°). So, adding them component-wise, the x-component would be cos 5° + 2cos 65°, and the y-component would be sin 5° + 2sin 65°. So, the resulting vector is (cos 5° + 2cos 65°, sin 5° + 2sin 65°).Now, to find the magnitude of this resulting vector, I need to square both components, add them together, and then take the square root. So, let's write that out:|a + 2b| = sqrt[(cos 5° + 2cos 65°)² + (sin 5° + 2sin 65°)²]Hmm, that looks a bit complicated. Maybe I can simplify this expression somehow. I remember that when you have expressions like (A + B)², you can expand them into A² + 2AB + B². Maybe I can apply that here.Let me expand the x-component squared:(cos 5° + 2cos 65°)² = cos² 5° + 4cos 5°cos 65° + 4cos² 65°Similarly, the y-component squared:(sin 5° + 2sin 65°)² = sin² 5° + 4sin 5°sin 65° + 4sin² 65°Now, if I add these two together, I get:cos² 5° + sin² 5° + 4cos 5°cos 65° + 4sin 5°sin 65° + 4cos² 65° + 4sin² 65°I remember that cos² θ + sin² θ = 1, so cos² 5° + sin² 5° = 1, and similarly, 4cos² 65° + 4sin² 65° = 4(cos² 65° + sin² 65°) = 4*1 = 4.So, substituting that back in, the expression becomes:1 + 4 + 4cos 5°cos 65° + 4sin 5°sin 65°Which simplifies to:5 + 4(cos 5°cos 65° + sin 5°sin 65°)Wait a second, cos 5°cos 65° + sin 5°sin 65° looks familiar. Isn't that the formula for cos(A - B)? Yes, because cos(A - B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B. So, in this case, A is 5° and B is 65°, so it becomes cos(5° - 65°) = cos(-60°). But cosine is an even function, so cos(-60°) = cos(60°) = 0.5.So, substituting that back in, we have:5 + 4*(0.5) = 5 + 2 = 7Therefore, the magnitude |a + 2b| is sqrt(7).Wait, let me double-check my steps to make sure I didn't make a mistake. First, I expanded the squares correctly, then used the Pythagorean identity to simplify the cos² and sin² terms. Then, I recognized the cosine of difference identity correctly and evaluated cos(-60°) as 0.5. That seems right. So, yes, the magnitude should be sqrt(7).

In a square array of 25 dots arranged in a 5x5 grid, four dots are chosen at random. What is the probability that the four dots will form a horizontal or vertical line? Express your answer as a common fraction.

💡First, I need to determine the total number of ways to choose any four dots from the 25 dots in the 5x5 grid. This can be calculated using the combination formula:[text{Total combinations} = binom{25}{4} = frac{25!}{4!(25-4)!} = 12650]Next, I'll count the number of favorable outcomes where the four dots form a horizontal line. There are 5 horizontal lines in the grid, and each line has exactly one set of four collinear dots:[text{Horizontal lines} = 5]Similarly, I'll count the number of favorable outcomes where the four dots form a vertical line. There are also 5 vertical lines in the grid, with each line having one set of four collinear dots:[text{Vertical lines} = 5]Adding these together gives the total number of favorable outcomes:[text{Total favorable outcomes} = 5 + 5 = 10]Finally, I'll calculate the probability by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:[text{Probability} = frac{10}{12650} = frac{1}{1265}]

The result when a number is subtracted from 150 is the same as the number added to 68. What is the number?

💡To find the number, let's denote it as ( x ).According to the problem, subtracting ( x ) from 150 gives the same result as adding ( x ) to 68. This can be written as the equation:[150 - x = x + 68]To solve for ( x ), we'll first move all terms involving ( x ) to one side and constants to the other side:[150 - 68 = x + x][82 = 2x]Next, we'll divide both sides by 2 to isolate ( x ):[x = frac{82}{2} = 41]Therefore, the number is ( 41 ).

Michaela needs a certain number of oranges to eat until she gets full. Cassandra needs twice as many oranges as Michaela to eat until she gets full. They picked 90 oranges from the farm today, and after they've both eaten until they were full, 30 oranges remained. How many oranges does Michaela need to eat until she gets full?

💡First, I need to determine how many oranges Michaela needs to eat until she gets full. Let's denote this number as ( M ).Cassandra needs twice as many oranges as Michaela to get full, so Cassandra needs ( 2M ) oranges.Together, Michaela and Cassandra picked 90 oranges. After eating until they were full, 30 oranges remained. This means they consumed a total of ( 90 - 30 = 60 ) oranges.The total number of oranges eaten by both Michaela and Cassandra is the sum of the oranges each of them ate:[M + 2M = 3M]Since they ate 60 oranges in total, we can set up the equation:[3M = 60]To find the value of ( M ), we divide both sides of the equation by 3:[M = frac{60}{3} = 20]Therefore, Michaela needs to eat (boxed{20}) oranges to get full.

A group of weavers consists of 4 mat-weavers, 3 carpet-weavers, 2 rug-weavers, and 1 curtain-weaver. The mat-weavers can weave 4 mats in 4 days, the carpet-weavers can weave 2 carpets in 3 days, the rug-weavers can weave 3 rugs in 5 days, and the curtain-weaver can create 1 curtain in 6 days. At the same rate, how many mats, carpets, rugs, and curtains will be woven if 5 mat-weavers, 6 carpet-weavers, 4 rug-weavers, and 2 curtain-weavers work for a period of 8 days?

💡First, I need to determine the daily production rate for each type of weaver based on the information provided.For the mat-weavers:- 4 mat-weavers can weave 4 mats in 4 days.- This means 1 mat-weaver can weave 1 mat in 4 days.- Therefore, the daily production rate per mat-weaver is 1 mat divided by 4 days, which equals 0.25 mats per day.- If 5 mat-weavers work for 8 days, they will weave 5 mat-weavers multiplied by 0.25 mats per day per mat-weaver, then multiplied by 8 days, resulting in 10 mats.Next, for the carpet-weavers:- 3 carpet-weavers can weave 2 carpets in 3 days.- This means 1 carpet-weaver can weave 2/3 of a carpet in 3 days.- The daily production rate per carpet-weaver is (2/3) carpets divided by 3 days, which equals 2/9 carpets per day.- If 6 carpet-weavers work for 8 days, they will weave 6 carpet-weavers multiplied by (2/9) carpets per day per carpet-weaver, then multiplied by 8 days, resulting in approximately 10.67 carpets. Since we can't have a fraction of a carpet, we'll round down to 10 carpets.For the rug-weavers:- 2 rug-weavers can weave 3 rugs in 5 days.- This means 1 rug-weaver can weave 3/2 rugs in 5 days.- The daily production rate per rug-weaver is (3/2) rugs divided by 5 days, which equals 3/10 rugs per day.- If 4 rug-weavers work for 8 days, they will weave 4 rug-weavers multiplied by (3/10) rugs per day per rug-weaver, then multiplied by 8 days, resulting in approximately 9.6 rugs. Rounding down, they will weave 9 rugs.Finally, for the curtain-weavers:- 1 curtain-weaver can create 1 curtain in 6 days.- The daily production rate per curtain-weaver is 1 curtain divided by 6 days, which is approximately 0.1667 curtains per day.- If 2 curtain-weavers work for 8 days, they will create 2 curtain-weavers multiplied by 0.1667 curtains per day per curtain-weaver, then multiplied by 8 days, resulting in approximately 2.667 curtains. Rounding down, they will create 2 curtains.In summary, over an 8-day period:- The mat-weavers will weave 10 mats.- The carpet-weavers will weave 10 carpets.- The rug-weavers will weave 9 rugs.- The curtain-weavers will create 2 curtains.
