Hi I really need help with this question(It's my last one on this quiz)PLEASE HELP) 20 POINTS!!! Darius uses the polynomial identity (x-y)^2=x^2-2xy+y^2 to show that 9^2=81
what values can Darius use for x and y?
A) x=81 and y=0
B)x=3 and y=6
C)x=11 and y=2
D)x=9 and y=81

C.) x = 11 and y = 2

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
