Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

(3) (4 points) Given three vectors a, b, and c, suppose: |bx c = 2 |a|=√√8 • The angle between a and b xc is 0 = 135º. . Calculate the volume a (bxc) of the parallelepiped spanned by the three vectors.

Calculate these limits. If the limit is ∞ or -∞, write infinity or-infinity. If the limit does not exist, write DNE: Hint: Remember the first thing you check when you are looking at a limit of a quotient is the limit value of the denominator. 1. If the denominator does not go to 0, you should be able to right down the answer immediately. 2. If the denominator goes to 0, but the numerator does not, you will have to check the sign (±) of the quotient, from both sides if the limit is not one-sided. 3. If both the numerator and the denominator go to 0, you have to do the algebraic trick of rationalizing. So, group your limits into these three forms and work with them one group at a time.
