All the components in the state vector need to sum to 1. You're given that component corresponding to state 1 is 0.2, and that the component for state 3 is 0.

That leaves states 2 and 4, for which you're told that the component for state 2 is four times as large. If x_i is the component for state i, then you have

x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4=1\iff 0.2+4x_4+0+x_4=1\implies5x_4=0.8\implies x_4=0.16

which means x_2=4x_4=0.64. So the state vector is \mathbf x=(0.2,0.64,0,0.16).

What is the answer and how do I solve?
8_murik_8 [283]
Because it is a 90° angle and the legs are congruent, the legs intersect with the hypotenuse at the same angle, so the other, unnamed angle at the bottom left is equal to x.

Now we can state that:

2x + 90 = 180
2x = 90
x = 45

Find the area of the composite figure will give extra 100 points out if answer is right and brainlyst
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Decompose the figure into two rectangles and add the areas.

Find the area of the entire rectangle and of the removed corner and subtract the areas.

Decompose the figure into three rectangles and add the areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

With all of these you can actually calculate the area of the composite figure, some of them are more easy and efficient than the other, for example dividing the composite area into three rectangles is not very efficient but will do the job, and the one where you decompose the area into two rectangles would be the best one, as well as the one where you find the area of the larger rectangle and the subtract from that the rectangle that is taken off in the right corner.
