For what value(s) of, if any, is the given vector parallel to = (4,-1)? (a) (8r,-2) (b) (8t, 21)

r=1 and t= -21/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two vectors are parallel if both are multiples. That is, for a vector (x,y), the parallel vector to (x,y) will be of the form k(x,y) with k a real number. Then,

a) (8r, -2) = 2(4r,-1). Then, we need to have that r=1, in other case the first component wouldn't be 4 or the second component wouldn't be -1 and the vector (8r,-2) wouldn't be parallel to (4, -1).

b) for the case of (8t, 21) we need -1 in the second component and 4 in the first component, then let t= -21/2 to factorize the -21 and get 4 in the fisrt component and -1 in the second component.

. In other case,  the vector (8t, 21) wouldn't be parallel to (4,-1).

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
