a) Point A(6,7,2) lies on l1. Point B(9,16,5) also lies on l1. Find the distance between these two points. b) l2 lies in the same z plane as l1 and crosses l1 at A and is perpendicular to l1. Express l2 in vector form.

a) Distance between two points ((x2- x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)^1/2Substitute in values to find distance.b) Write out l1 in vector form using info from points A and B.Use knowledge of scalar product to construct ...

The perimeter of a right angled triangle is 105cm. The lengths of its sides are in the ratio of 2:6:7. Work out the area of the triangle.

Add up ratios: 2+6+7=15Divide perimeter by ratio total, to figure out how big the scale of the triangle is: 105/15=7Multiply each separate figure in the ratio by the scale factor (7): 2x7 : 6x7 : 7x714 : ...

4, 7, 9, 10, 10 mean, median, mode, range

mean: add 4,7,9,10 and 10.This gives us 40divide 40 by 5, as we have 5 numbers.40/5= 8therefore mean =8
median... if we put all the numbers in an order.. middle number- 9
mode- MOde- MOst common...

2/(y+4) + 3(y-2)

So the question asks us to add together; 2 divided by y plus 4, to 3 divided by y minus 2.As there are no common denominators (bottom half of the fraction)We will therefore have to multiple the two denomi...
