Question 75

MediumOriginal question

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. a⃗⋅b⃗=6−4+0=2\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 6 - 4 + 0 = 2, and ∣b⃗∣=3\lvert \vec{b} \rvert = 3.

  2. Projection =23= \frac{2}{3}.

Worth noting

25\frac{2}{5} divides by ∣a⃗∣=5\lvert \vec{a} \rvert = 5; that is the projection of b⃗\vec{b} on a⃗\vec{a}.
