Serena is hitting golf balls at the driving range. When she hit a ball with her 9-iron, it stopped x yards in front of the 100-yard marker. She knows she can hit a ball twice that far if she uses her driver. Complete the steps below to see how far Serena can hit a golf ball with her driver.

100-x represents the distance that Serena hit with her 9-iron. 2(100-x) represents the distance she can hit using her driver.

When the distance is given for the 9-iron, use the distributive property to find the simplified equation, so it will be much easier to solve after you are given the information on the 9-iron. Unsolvable without 9-iron distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

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
