Given the diagram, where AB and EF are horizontal lines and CB is a vertical line segment. Given that FB : FC = 4 : 3, From the diagram, the coordinate of A is (-10, -8) and the coordinate of C is (-3. -1). We can also see that the coordinate of B is (-3, -8) (since CB is a vertical line means that B is the same x-value as C and AB is a horizontal line means that B is the same y-value as A) Recall that the coordinate of a point dividing a line segment in the ratio m:n is given by (x1 + m/(m+n) (x2 - x1), y1 + m/(m+n) (y2 - y1)) Thus, since FB : FC = 4 : 3, this means that point F divides the line segment BC in the ratio 4 : 3. Thus, the coordinate of F is given by (-3 + 4/(4+3) (-3 - (-3)), -8 + 4/(4+3) (-1 - (-8))) = (-3 + 4/7 (0), -8 + 4/7 (7)) = (-3, -4). Also, given that FB : FC = 4 : 3, this means that point D divides the line segment AC in the ratio 4 : 3. Thus, the coordinate of D is given by (-10 + 4/(4+3) (-3 - (-10)), -8 + 4/(4+3) (-1 - (-8))) = (-10 + 4/7 (7), -8 + 4/7 (7)) = (-6, -4). Therefore, the coordinates of point D is (-6, -4).

Is w = 8 a solution to the equation 5 + w = 58? Explain

sp2606 [1]

No.

Since w = 8, you must replace the variable with the number associated to it.

So, it would be 5 + 8 = 58

5 + 8 is not equal to 58, it is equal to 13.

If you wanted to find out what w was, simply subtract 5 on both sides.

w = 58 - 5

Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (4, 1.2)

Point (10, 6)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute [SF]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{6-1.2}{10-4}$
Subtract: $\displaystyle m=\frac{4.8}{6}$
Divide: $\displaystyle m=0.8$

Answer:

Expand the brackets, and simplify.

(4t - 8/5)-(3-4/3t) = (4t +4/3t) + ( -8/5 - 3) = 5 1/3t - 23/5 = 16/3t - 23/5

5(2t + 1) + (-7t + 28) = 10t + 5 - 7t + 28 = 3t + 33

(-9/2t + 3) + (7/4t + 33) = (-9/2t + 7/4t) + (3 + 33) = -11/4t + 36

3(3t - 4) - (2t + 10) = 9t - 12 - 2t - 10 = 7t - 22

Let P = 0.50.30.50.7 be the transition matrix for a Markov chain with two states. Let x0 = 0.50.5 be the initial state vector fo

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Probability distribution vector = $\left(\begin{array}{c}0.375\\ 0.625 \end{array} \right)$

Step-By-Step Explanation

If $P=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0.5&0.3\\ 0.5&0.7 \end{array} \right)$ is the transition matrix for a Markov chain with two states.

$x_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{c}0.5\\ 0.5 \end{array} \right)$ be the initial state vector for the population.

$X_{1}=P x_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0.5&0.3\\ 0.5&0.7 \end{array} \right) \left(\begin{array}{c}0.5\\ 0.5 \end{array} \right) =\left(\begin{array}{c}0.4\\ 0.6 \end{array} \right)$

$X_{2}=P^{2} x_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{c}0.38\\ 0.62 \end{array} \right)$

$X_{3}=P^{3} x_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{c}0.38\\ 0.62 \end{array} \right)$

$X_{30}=P^{30} x_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{c}0.37499\\ 0.625 \end{array} \right)$

In the long run, the probability distribution vector Xm approaches the probability distribution vector $\left(\begin{array}{c}0.375\\ 0.625 \end{array} \right)$ .

This is called the steady-state (or limiting,) distribution vector.
