Proof:

Let's Multiply them!

AB = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\-1&4\\\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2/3&-1/3\\1/6&1/6\\\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1(2/3) + 2(1/6) & 1(-1/3) + 2(1/6)\\-1(2/3) + 4(1/6)&-1(-1/3) + 4(1/6)\\\end{array}\right]

If you don't remember how to multiply matrices, don't worry. In order to get AB we focus on the rows of A, and the columns of B.

  1. The first row of A is [1 2] and the first column of B is [2/3 1/6], if we do de dot multiplication we get 1(2/3) + 2(1/6) = 2/3 + 1/3 = 1.
  2. The first row of A is [1 2] and the second column of B is [-1/3 1/6]. Here we get 1(-1/3) + 2(1/6) = -1/3 +  1/3 = 0.
  3. The second row of A is [-1 4] and the first column of B is  [2/3 1/6]. Here we get -1(2/3) + 4(1/6) = -2/3 + 2/3 = 0.
  4. The second row of A is [-1 4] and the second column of B is [-1/3 1/6]. Here we get -1(-1/3) + 4(1/6) = 1/3 + 2/3 = 1.

Then  AB = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\\\end{array}\right]

We also have to see what happens with BA.

BA = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2/3&-1/3\\1/6&1/6\\\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\-1&4\\\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc} (2/3)(1) + (-1/3)(-1) & (2/3)(2) + (-1/3)(4)\\(1/6)(1) + (1/6)(-1)&(1/6)(2) + (1/6)(4)\\\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\\\end{array}\right]

With this, we can conclude that

AB = I = BA

where I is the identity matrix. An by definition, that means that A and  B are multiplicative inverses.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

C. The average velocity of A is greater than B since it covers more distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y values on the graph represent velocity.  Since A has a greater y-value than B for the entire 10 seconds, we know that the average velocity of A must be greater than B.

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is given thus:

Suppose that computer literacy among people ages 40 and older is being studied and that the accompanying tables describes the probability distribution for four randomly selected people, where x is the number that are computer literate. Is it unusual to find four computer literates among four randomly selected people?

x      P(x)

0     0.16

1      0.25

2     0.36

3      0.15

4      0.08

  • Yes
  • No

ANSWER:

The odds that this will occur according to the chart are 0.08, or 8%, so although this is unlikely, it's not terribly unusual.

⇒ NO

So from the following we can say it is not unusual to find four (4) computer literates among four randomly selected people.

ok, so P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(0)  = 0.16+0.25+0.36+0.15+0.08 = 1

Whereas the chance of finding four (4) out of four (4) computer iteration is low when compared to other factors.

cheers i hope this helped  !!

Tell the slope and y-intercept of the graph.
Mashcka [7]

To find the slope, you can use the formula: \frac{rise}{run}. Start at where the graph intersects at the y-axis, which is -4. So, it rises up 2 units and goes left 3 units, which makes the slope \frac{2}{3}.

To find the y-intercept, you would start at where the graph intersects at the y-axis, which is -4 and this would be the y-intercept.

To find the equation, you can use the formula: y = mx + b. m is slope and b is the y-intercept. Plug the slope and y-intercept you found earlier. Thus, your final answer should be: y = \frac{2}{3}x-4

Please reach out to me if you are still confused. Hope this helps :)
