Prove that if b is a square matrix then b+b^t is symmetric

1 answer:

6 0

A matrix $\mathbf X$ is symmetric if $\mathbf X=\mathbf X^\top$ . We have

$(\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+(\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+\mathbf B=\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top$

and so $\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top$ is indeed symmetric.

Someone please help!!

The answer I got was 2,423,000 million square miles. If there is a choice that says that then it’s the answer. If not, I’m probably wrong.

Hope this helps!

A population of rabbits in a lab, p(x), can be modeled by the function p(x) = 20(1.014)x , where x represents the number of days

Nitella [24]

Answer:

20 = initial population of the rabbits

1.014 = growth rate of the rabbits

the average rate of change from day 50 to day 100 is 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

A population of rabbits in a lab, p(x), can be modeled by the function

p(x) = 20(1.014)^x

This model is exponential. Where 20 = initial population of the rabbits

1.014 = growth rate of the rabbits with 1.4% increase rate of the rabbits

To find the average rate of change from day 50 to day 100,

find the population p(50) and p(100). Subtract them and divide by 100 - 50 = 50.

p(50) = 20(1.014)50 = 40.08...

p(100) = 20(1.014)100 = 80.32...

(80.32 - 40.08) / (100 - 50) = 40.24/50 = 0.8048. which is approximately 0.8 to the nearest tenth.

The rate of change is 0.8.

1. S(–4, –4), P(4, –2), A(6, 6) and Z(–2, 4) a) Apply the distance formula for each side to determine whether SPAZ is equilatera

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a) SPAZ is equilateral.

b) Diagonals SA and PZ are perpendicular to each other.

c) Diagonals SA and PZ bisect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we form the triangle with the help of a graphing tool and whose result is attached below. It seems to be a paralellogram.

a) If figure is equilateral, then SP = PA = AZ = ZS:

$SP = \sqrt{[4-(-4)]^{2}+[(-2)-(-4)]^{2}}$

$SP \approx 8.246$

$PA = \sqrt{(6-4)^{2}+[6-(-2)]^{2}}$

$PA \approx 8.246$

$AZ =\sqrt{(-2-6)^{2}+(4-6)^{2}}$

$AZ \approx 8.246$

$ZS = \sqrt{[-4-(-2)]^{2}+(-4-4)^{2}}$

$ZS \approx 8.246$

Therefore, SPAZ is equilateral.

b) We use the slope formula to determine the inclination of diagonals SA and PZ:

$m_{SA} = \frac{6-(-4)}{6-(-4)}$

$m_{SA} = 1$

$m_{PZ} = \frac{4-(-2)}{-2-4}$

$m_{PZ} = -1$

Since $m_{SA}\cdot m_{PZ} = -1$ , diagonals SA and PZ are perpendicular to each other.

c) The diagonals bisect each other if and only if both have the same midpoint. Now we proceed to determine the midpoints of each diagonal:

$M_{SA} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot S(x,y) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot A(x,y)$

$M_{SA} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (-4,-4)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (6,6)$

$M_{SA} = (-2,-2)+(3,3)$

$M_{SA} = (1,1)$

$M_{PZ} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot P(x,y) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot Z(x,y)$

$M_{PZ} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (4,-2)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (-2,4)$

$M_{PZ} = (2,-1)+(-1,2)$

$M_{PZ} = (1,1)$

Then, the diagonals SA and PZ bisect each other.
