Two vectors are said to be parallel if they point in the same direction or if they point in opposite directions. Part A Are these two vectors parallel? Show your work and explain. Part B Are these two vectors parallel? Show your work and explain.

Knowing that those vectors start at the point (0,0) we can "think" them as lines.

As you may know, two lines are parallel if the slope is the same, then we can find the "slope" of the vectors and see if it is the same.

A) the vectors are: (√3, 1) and (-√3, -1)

You may remember that the way to find the slope of a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is s = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Because we know that our vectors also pass through the point (0,0)

then the slopes are:

 (√3, 1) > s = (1/√3)

 (-√3, -1)> s = (-1/-√3) =  (1/√3)

The slope is the same, so the vectors are parallel.

Part B:

The vectors are: (2, 3) and (-3, -2)

the slopes are:

(2, 3) > s = 3/2

(-3, -2)> s = -2/-3 = 2/3

the slopes are different, so the vectors are not parallel.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point
