The left and right page numbers of an open book are two consecutive integers numbers whose sum is 379. find these page numbers.

Left page: 189, right page: 190

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put left page as x, the other page is x+1 because left and right page numbers are not the same but difference of 1.

With these information, you can make equation

Add two x together.

Subtract 1 for each side.

Divide 2 for each side.

So, x was left page but right page was x+1.

Left page is 189 and right page is 189+1, 190.

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12
