    Finding Matrix A of Orthogonal Projection onto Line L in R2

    OK...now I've thought about this...I should use the formula 1/(1+m2) [1 m ] ________[m m2] using 2x+5y = 0 my slope m = -2/5 but my numbers come out backwards ...

    Finding Matrix A of Orthogonal Projection onto Line L in R2

    Find the matrix A of the orthogonal projection onto the line L in R2 that consists of all scalar multiples of the vector [2 5]T . OK...I really don't know how to start off with this problem. If somehow could just help me out there I will try to muddle my way through the rest ! Thanks.

    Find the Equation of the Normal to the Center of PQ | Linear Algebra Question

    Let P=(9,-7,-1) and Q=(-5,-5,-5). The set of all points that are equidistant from P and Q are given by the equation __x + __y + __z + __ = 0. ^^The question! All I want to know is how to start this question. I thought I was supposed to find the equation of the normal to the center of PQ...

    B field btwn two current carrying wires

    I just had a quick thing i wanted to clarify... The question was: If u have two horizontal parallel current carrying wires 196 cm apart, with the bottom wire carrying a current of 2.2 A to the west and the top 1.1 A to the west, what is the magnetic field at the point P? Point P being the...

    Calculating Length of Parametric Curves

    Find the length of the parametrized curve given by x(t)=0t3+9t2+36t y(t)=-1t3-6t2+15t for t between 0 and 1. ok...thats the question. I have tried using the formula L = integral of (dx/dt)2 + (dy/dt)2 all square rooted but I am not gettin the rite answer...i have a bunch of these...

    Understanding the Physics of Rebound: Exploring Bounce Distance and Velocity

    but wouldn't that happen with ne bounce then...not jst the "perfect" one?

    Understanding the Physics of Rebound: Exploring Bounce Distance and Velocity

    ok my physics class jst did a lab on studying rebound and last question in the report says: An extrapolation of the data to a perfect bounce (ie. one that reaches to the height of the launch point) results in a bounce distance that is more than twice the horizontal distance of the point of...

    Understanding Inverse Functions: How to Find f^-1(y)

    if ur given a function f(x) and ur asked to find f^-1(y)...r u supposed 2 solve ur original eqn for y and then take the inverse of that? or isn't that just the same thing neways?...
