Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles ΔABC and ΔBAD are congruent. So,

  • AB ≅ BA;
  • AC ≅ BD;
  • BC ≅ AD;
  • ∠ABC ≅ ∠BAD;
  • ∠BCA ≅ ∠ADB;
  • ∠CAB ≅ ∠DBA.

Consider triangles AEC and BED. In these triangles,

  • AC ≅ BD;
  • ∠EAC ≅ ∠EBD (because ∠CBA ≅ ∠BAD);
  • ∠AEC ≅ ∠BED (as vertical angles).

So, ΔAEC ≅ ΔBED. Thus,

AE ≅ EB.

This means that segment CD bisects segment AD.

The graph represents the feasible region for the system:
morpeh [17]

We have been given a system of inequalities and an objective function.

The inequalities are given as:

y\leq 2x\\
x+y\leq 45\\
x\leq 30\\

And the objective function is given as:

P=25x+20y

In order to find the minimum value of the objective function at the given feasible region, we need to first graph the region.

The graph of the region is shown below:

From the graph, we can see that corner points of the feasible region are:

(x,y) = (15,30),(30,15) and (30,60).

Now we will evaluate the value of the objective function at each of these corner points and then we will compare which of those values is minimum.

\text{At (15,30)}\Leftrightarrow P=25\cdot 15+20\cdot 30=975\\
\text{At (30,15)}\Leftrightarrow P=25\cdot 30+20\cdot 15=1050\\
\text{At (30,60)}\Leftrightarrow P=25\cdot 30+20\cdot 60=1950\\

Hence the minimum value of objective function is 975 and it occurs at x = 15 and y = 30

In electrical engineering, the unwanted "noise" in voltage or current signals is often modeled by a Gaussian (i.e., normal) dist
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Cov(X, Y) =0.029.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The noise in a particular voltage signal has a constant mean of 0.9 V. that is μ = 0.9V ............(1)

Also, the two noise instances sampled τ seconds apart have a bivariate normal distribution with covariance.

0.04e–jτj/10 ............(2)

Having X and Y denoting the noise at times 3 s and 8 s, respectively, the difference of time = 8-3 = 5seconds.

That is, they are 5 seconds apart,

τ = 5 seconds..............(3)

Thus,

Cov(X, Y), for τ = 5seconds = 0.04e-5/10

= 0.04e-0.5 = 0.04/√e

= 0.04/1.6487

= 0.0292

Thus, Cov(X, Y) =0.029.

Complete the missing parts of the paragraph proof. Draw a perpendicular from P to AB. Label the intersection C. We are given tha
zvonat [6]
<span>1) We are given that PA = PB, so PA ≅ PB by the definition of the radius.

</span>When you draw a perpendicular to a segment AB, you take the compass, point it at A and draw an arc of size AB, then you do the same pointing the compass on B. Point P will be one of the intersections of those two arcs. Therefore PA and PB correspond to the radii of the arcs, which were taken both equal to AB, therefore they are congruent. 
 
2) We know that angles PCA and PCB are right angles by the definition of perpendicular.

Perpendicularity is the relation between two lines that meet at a right angle. Since we know that PC is perpendicular to AB by construction, ∠PCA and ∠PCB are right angles.
 
3) PC ≅ PC by the reflexive property congruence.

The reflexive property congruence states that any shape is congruent to itself.

4) So, triangle ACP is congruent to triangle BCP by HL, and AC ≅ BC by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent). 

CPCTC states that if two triangles are congruent, then all of the corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Since ΔACP ≡ ΔBCP, then the corresponding sides AC and BC are congruent.
 
5) Since PC is perpendicular to and bisects AB, P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB by the definition of the perpendicular bisector. 

<span>The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line that cuts the segment into two equal parts (bisector) and that forms with the segment a right angle (perpendicular). Any point on the perpendicular bisector has the same distance from the segment's extremities. PC has exactly the characteristics of a perpendicular bisector of AB. </span>
