Let v1,....., vk be vectors, and suppose that a point mass of m1,....., mk is located at the tip of each vector. The center of m

ass for this set of point masses is equal to: v = [(m1v1 +.....+ mkvk)/m] where m = m1 +.....+ mk. Determine how to divide a total mass of 11 kg among the vectors u1 = (−1, 3), u2 = (3, −2), and u3 = (5, 2) so that the center of mass is (21/11, 6/11).

Answer: m1 = 4

m2 = 5

m3 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

given (21/11, 6/11) = m1 (-1/3) + m2 (3, -2) + m3 (5, 2)

= (-m1 + 3m2 + 5m3) / 11 = 21/11

= (3m1 + (-2)m2 + 2m3) / 11 = 6/11

so that m1 + m2 +m3 = 11

-m1 + 3m2 + 5m3 = 21

3m1 - 2m2 + 2m3 = 6

from this, we get the augmented matrix as

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-1&1&1&11\\-1&3&5&21\\3&-2&2&6\end{array}\right]

= \left[\begin{array{cccc}-1&1&1&11\\0&4&6&32\\0&-5&-1&-27\end{array}\right]  \left \{ {{R2=R2 + R1} \atop {R3=R3 -3R1 }]} \right.

= \left[\begin{array}{cccc}-1&1&1&11\\0&1&3/2&8\\0&-5&-1&-27\end{array}\right]

= \left[\begin{array}{cccc}-1&1&1&11\\0&1&3/2&8\\0&0&13/2&13\end{array}\right]

(R3 = R3 + 5R2)

this gives m1 + m2 + m3 = 11

m2 + 3/2 m3 = 8

13/2 m3 = 8

13/2 m3 = 13

m3 = 2

m2 = 8 -3/2 (2) = 5

= m1 = 11- 5 - 2 = 4

this gives

m1 = 4

m2 = 5

m3 = 2

Define the axis of symmetry, vertex, focus and directrix for
Papessa [141]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in the form ...

  4p(y -k) = (x -h)^2 . . . . . (h, k) is the vertex; p is the focus-vertex distance

Comparing this to your equation, we see ...

  p = 4, (h, k) = (3, 4)

p > 0, so the parabola opens upward. The vertex is on the axis of symmetry. That axis has the equation x=x-coordinate of vertex. This tells you ...

  vertex: (3, 4)

  axis of symmetry: x = 3

  focus: (3, 8) . . . . . 4 units up from vertex

  directrix: y = 0 . . . horizontal line 4 units down from vertex

Well I don't know ! 
Let's take a look and see:

The idea is that there could be more than one way
for a roll of the dice to land with the same number.  

-- If the sum is from 1-4, you get the point.
There are  6  different ways for a roll of the dice to come up 1-4.

-- If the sum is from 5-8, Adam gets the point.
There are  20  different ways for a roll of the dice to come up 5-8.

-- If the sum is 9-12, Lana gets the point.
There are  10  different ways for a roll of the dice to come up 9-12.

-- The game is not fair to all three of you.
-- Lana has a distinct advantage over you.
-- Adam has a big advantage over Lana.
-- Adam has an even bigger advantage over you.
-- You are at a big disadvantage.  (Notice that one of your
numbers ... 1 ... can never come up unless one of the dice
falls off of the table.)

Solve 80% of x = 100 or 0.8x = 100
suter [353]

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

divide both sides of the equation by 0.8

0.8÷0.8=0.8÷100

any expression divided by 1 is itself

x=100÷0.8

divide the numbers

100÷0.8=125

125 is your answer
