Find \(\text {pro}_{\mathbf{w}} \mathbf{V}\) Then decompose v into two vectors, \(\mathbf{v}_{1}\) and \(\mathbf{v}_{2},\) where \(\mathbf{v}_{1}\) is parallel to \(\mathbf{w}\) and \(\mathbf{v}_{2}\) is orthogonal to \(\mathbf{w}.\) $$\mathbf{v}=2 \mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}, \quad \mathbf{w}=6 \mathbf{i}+3 \mathbf{j}$$
The components of \(\mathbf{v}=240 \mathbf{i}+300 \mathbf{j}\) represent the respective number of gallons of regular and premium gas sold at a station. The components of \(\mathbf{w}=2.90 \mathbf{i}+3.07 \mathbf{j}\) represent the respective prices per gallon for each kind of gas. Find \(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w}\) and describe what the answer means in practical terms.
Use a graphing utility to graph \(r=1+2 \sin n \theta\) for \(n=1,2,3,4,5,\) and \(6 .\) Use a separate viewing screen for each of the six graphs. What is the pattern for the number of large and small petals that occur corresponding to each value of \(n\) ? How are the large and small petals related when \(n\) is odd and when \(n\) is even?
Exercises \(81-83\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time on different runways. The first plane, flying on a bearing of \(\mathrm{N} 66^{\circ} \mathrm{W},\) travels 650 miles after two hours. The second plane, flying on a bearing of \(\mathrm{S} 26^{\circ} \mathrm{W},\) travels 600 miles after two hours. Illustrate the situation with an oblique triangle that shows how far apart the airplanes will be after two hours.
Use a graphing utility to graph each butterfly curve. Experiment with the range setting, particularly \(\theta\) step, to produce a butterfly of the best possible quality. $$r=\cos ^{2} 5 \theta+\sin 3 \theta+0.3$$
