Answer:

The midpoint is (-2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

( -7+3)/2 = -4/2 =-2

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(-6+4)/2 = -2/2 =-1

The midpoint is (-2,-1)

A group of n people enter an elevator in a building with k floors. Each person independently selects a floor uniformly at random

____ [38]

Answer:

Hence the person stop at floor by at least one person will be

E(X)=(summation from K=1 to k)[1-{(k-1)/k}^n]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are n peoples and k floors in a building.

Selects floor with 1/k probability .

To find :

Elevator stop at each floor by at least one person.

Solution:

Now

let K= number of floor at which at least one person will be stopping.

For getting E(X)

consider a variable Ak =1 if a least one person get of the elevator

and values for k=1,2,3.....k

K=(summation From k=1 to k)Ak

E(K)=((summation From k=1 to k) E[Ak]

=(summation From k=1 to k)[ $1-{(k-1/k)^n$

Hence the person stop at floor by at least one person will be

E(K)=(summation from K=1 to k)[1-{(k-1)/k}^n]

Which of the following matrices is the solution matrix for the given system of equations? x + 5y = 11 x - y = 5

givi [52]

<h2>The required solution is x = 6 and y = 11 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations are

x+5y = 11 and x-y =5

$A= \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\1&-1\end{array}\right]$ $X=\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]$

and $B= \left[\begin{array}{c}11\\5\end{array}\right]$

∴AX=B

$adj A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}{-1}&{-5}\\{-1}&1\end{array}\right]$

$A= \left|\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\1&-1\end{array}\right|=-6$

∴ $A^{-1} =\frac{adj A}{|A|}$

So, $A^{-1} =\frac{ \left[\begin{array}{cc}{-1}&{-5}\\{-1}&1\end{array}\right]}{-6}$

$A^{-1} ={ \left[\begin{array}{c \c} {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{5}{6}}\ \\ {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{-1}{6}} \end{array}\right]}$

$X =A^{-1}\times B$

⇒ $\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] ={ \left[\begin{array}{c \c} {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{5}{6}}\ \\ {{\frac{1}{6} }}&{\frac{-1}{6}} \end{array}\right]} \times \left[\begin{array}{c}11\\5\end{array}\right]$

⇒ $\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] ={ \left[\begin{array}{c} {6}\\ {11} \end{array}\right]}$

∴ x= 6 and y = 11

The required solution is x = 6 and y = 11

Answer:

AAS method can be used to prove that the two triangles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question for the two triangles one pair of opposite angles are equal. One another pair of angles are equal for the two and one pair of sides are also equal of the two.

Hence, the two given triangles are congruent by AAS rule.

Hence, AAS method can be used to prove that the two triangles are congruent.
